Candice & Todd's blog: Long overdue - Easter & Spring Break post + Isabella's Adoption Day anniversary
http://candice-and-todd.blogspot.com/2015/04/long-overdue-easter-spring-break-post.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. Long overdue - Easter and Spring Break post Isabella's Adoption Day anniversary. Two years ago, Isabella "legally" joined our family. We had a little celebration in her honor of her adoption Friday night, but - after a busy day at daycare, she crashed early. Here comes the barrage of Easter photos (finally). Mercer had a friend over to decorate eggs. It was a little stressful to keep the kid's hands out of their mouths, not hitting their friend with something that was paint-coated...

Saturday, May 23, 2015. Stats on Isabella school is out for summer. I forgot to post some photos on the last blog about Mercer's baseball season. (photos are now correctly placed in the blog about he and his team.) He, Todd, and a bunch of the team members went to a Braves game as a part of the league. They got to march in a pre-game parade down on the field! How cool is that? Isabella had her 2 1/2 year appointment this week. Here are some stats:. The doctor thinks she is insanely active, however, as Is...

Saturday, May 31, 2014. Mercer finished Kindergarten as well as another season of baseball. some more "ordinary" things. He really did enjoy it in the end. There were some patches where he said he did not like school, but by the last week, he was sad it was going to be over. She said he really meant it - was very serious about it! The photo cuts off the banner in the background, but it says "Class of 2026! Then he started talking about trucks. He really had no idea what was in store. When he came...Todd ...

Candice & Todd's blog: June 2014
http://candice-and-todd.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2014. June has been absolutely crazy; summer is officially here. I signed up for the class that started about 2 weeks ago. It will be finished by the end of this week. It's been an extremely intense class plus there's been a ridiculous amount of homework to do over the past few weeks. But - it will pay off when I start my new part-time Physical Science teaching job at a nearby school in August! It's a fun place and has a lot of great energy there. In fact, we recently went on a can...

Monday, January 13, 2014. A year of transition. At the beginning of the year, people reflect. regroup. resolve to complete certain things. I have mulled over some things, but have not shouted from the roof-top of some great change that will be made. However on Monday - the 6th (a week ago), I found out that I would be losing my job. I had 2 days to transition everything over [dump on] one of my few colleagues who remain at the company and that would be it. Done. Bam! I have really started reflecting on w...

Sunday, September 14, 2014. The start of school has been a whirlwind! Maybe not so much with Mercer's school, but with mine! I have a lot of work to do for EACH and EVERY lesson that I teach. It's kind of knocked me on my. well, you know I have to admit, I am learning a lot, though. A lot about 8th graders. Even a bit about high schoolers as I have one class of 9th - 12th graders. Learning a lot about chemistry right now too! We've done a few things - a little something each weekend. Isabella is a firecr...

Saturday, November 22, 2014. Isabella turned 2 last week! Her "official" stats from her 2 year doctor's appointment (she's such a little nugget compared to her big brother! Her height is 33 1/2" (41%). Her weight is 23 lbs, 14.4 oz (15%). Note - she did expel a lot of food the morning of her doctor's appointment. getting something bad out of her system. She's probably really at 24 lbs, but we'll log in the one the doc took. Her head circumference is 19" (72%). And on to the fun stuff:. That night, we cel...

Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Sleeping with the animals valentines. Mercer and I did something fun this month. we spent the night at the zoo! We were supposed to do this back in December (for my birthday) but it was cancelled. The theme this month "love birds" in honor of Valentine's Day. It was my favorite) We were not allowed to touch the porcupine, of course. When asking Mercer about which was his favorite, he gave his usual reply: "all of them! Here is our early-AM "selfie" with the kangaroos. They...

Saturday, October 25, 2014. Oh, Isabella. plus a few other tidbits. Baby girl really has us in a tailspin. For the past 1 1/2 months, she has woken up in the middle of the night almost every night. Sometimes it's easy enough to get her to sleep, but most of the time, she's up for the count. We've tried A LOT of things! Maybe she's growing and has growing pains? Maybe her mind is racing because she is starting to talk a lot? Whew we'll get through this! Several weeks ago, she started telling us before she...

Monday, March 17, 2014. Pirates, Lions, Tigers, and MORE Pirates oh my. Before diving into this post. I wanted to mention: I've added a this photo to compliment the previous post (Mercer holding a piece of pottery he made. He brought that home just after the "school art" post - but I thought it should be included as close to that blog post as possible.) He is SO proud of his creation. he held it in two cupped hands all the way home from the bus stop. I just kept staring at him. He looked so old! Allison ...
