25 years together | Diving in, Discovering, Discussions
https://embracingthemoment.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/25-years-together
Diving in, Discovering, Discussions. January 17, 2012 in Uncategorized. This December my baby sister turned 25. 25! Crazy Where did the last 25 years go? She’s always been a champ about sharing a birthday with all of the Christmas festivities. She was a bit embarrassed to open her ‘Reading is Sexy’ Village Books shirt in front of all the grandparents. She turns red pretty easily. My awesome attempt to write 25 in candles. Fightin’ the Flu. Not Just An Ordinary Day. Rage Against the Minivan. Oh, and one m...

Diving in, Discovering, Discussions. June 27, 2012 in Uncategorized. How did this little silent shadow become a bright, though sometimes slightly shaded, ray of sunshine? She started in August a silent mouse-like figure. She desired to be hidden at all times. Hiding often involved lurking in my shadows, following my every step and praying she wouldn’t be noticed….or so it appeared. Fightin’ the Flu. Not Just An Ordinary Day. Rage Against the Minivan. Comments feed for this article. Wow, that is powerful ...

Jingle Bell Run/Walk | Diving in, Discovering, Discussions
https://embracingthemoment.wordpress.com/2012/01/13/jingle-bell-runwalk
Diving in, Discovering, Discussions. January 13, 2012 in Uncategorized. I am blessed that I have found an exercise routine, medications, foods, and doctors that work well for me, at least right now. Others are not so blessed. 1 in 5 adults and 300,000 kids live with some form of arthritis. That statistic is crazy to me. It’s the number one cause of disability. Not only do I have arthritis, but my mom and sister both have a form of arthritis. I loved the new longer route this year. Usually the whole famil...

Diving in, Discovering, Discussions. Fightin’ the Flu. February 22, 2012 in Uncategorized. So story goes, go big or go home. Right? Well, here’s a prime example of when go big just isn’t an option, so you choose the latter. When I woke up my eyes were beat red and bloodshot. I felt like my head was going to explode and I got about 3 bites of dinner in me. Still, I rallied for the hour of outdoor night games because I wanted to be a team player. After outdoor night games? 5 days later I’m still work...

Christmas Eve | Diving in, Discovering, Discussions
https://embracingthemoment.wordpress.com/2012/02/03/christmas-eve
Diving in, Discovering, Discussions. February 3, 2012 in Uncategorized. I love my family. They’re crazy, loud, at times overwhelming, but they are full of love. I am beyond blessed to be a part of this crazy crew. Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa’s little condo = 35ish people crammed into their living room. How could you not love that? Sweet little Josiah and I sat on the stairs to escape the sardines mentality occurring in the living room. Grandma and Grandpa passing out Christmas gifts. Blog at Wor...

Christmas surprises | Diving in, Discovering, Discussions
https://embracingthemoment.wordpress.com/2012/02/03/christmas-surprises
Diving in, Discovering, Discussions. February 3, 2012 in Uncategorized. I woke up early on Christmas morning. I decided to run downstairs to get a quick drink of water before heading back to bed. As I rounded the stairs I got a glance out the window. All I could see was the most amazing shade of pink. Obviously I ran (ok, sleepily stumbled) back upstairs to grab my camera. I only wish that I was a more talented photographer and could have figured out the best setting to use. Are you kidding me? You are c...

Diving in, Discovering, Discussions. Run, run as fast as you can…. January 14, 2012 in Uncategorized. This December I had the privilege of hanging out with some of my favorite kids for the night. It had been a rough day at school, so this little one (who just happens to be in my class and knew what the day had looked like) decided to put together a menu and serve me dinner. So stinkin’ sweet and adorable. In the winter, this is my least favorite four letter word. Such a cute little team. You are commenti...

Really…that’s what you come up with? | Diving in, Discovering, Discussions

Diving in, Discovering, Discussions. Really…that’s what you come up with? January 12, 2012 in Uncategorized. Today’s sentence, “I took bad medication”. Now first off…what? As we wrote the word ‘medication’, we discussed the -tion ending. This is a tricky one for first grade. I asked for more examples prompting words like ‘celebration’ and ‘imagination’. What I didn’t expect, ‘defecation’. Really? So is the life of a first grade teacher…. Fightin’ the Flu. Not Just An Ordinary Day. Rage Against the Minivan.
