T minus 14 days...

Summer, where have you gone?? I've had the most fun this summer! It is hard to believe that two weeks from today I will be welcoming my new 7th grade students and kicking off the new school year. I'm excited to be back at KMS and on the Golden team this year...we have the BEST team in the building!! :)

I'm so glad there are still a few days of summer left to hang out with Buddy, my 6 year old son, and The Goose, my 4 year old daughter. Buddy really wants to go bowling and play mini-golf before he starts Kindergarten. Goosey just wants to read princess books! We have had so much fun playing at the pool, taking in a few baseball games, and hiking on area trails.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack...Go Reds!!!

I went on a trip to Seattle to visit some friends this month and loved it! It was my first time on the west coast. The weather was amazing--in the 70s and no humidity! The best part (besides seeing my great friends!) was eating at some really good restaurants. I adore oysters! And of course, I drank a ton of coffee!

Looking up through the Glasshouse at the Chihuly Museum...one of my favorite moments on vacation! 

Next week the Golden team teachers are meeting to plan our schedule, discuss upcoming field trips, and get our rooms ready for the year. We are excited to meet our new students and are looking forward to a successful year on the Golden team. I can't wait to hear how you spent your summer...what was a highlight for you?
