Sorry to leave you hanging...

I know, I know. My posts aren't being published as often. Give me a break. I. AM. BUSY! Here's the short version of our life:
  • Griffin does NOT need another eye surgery!!!
  • I say good bye to my current students in exactly two weeks!
  • I have one more week left of my Bethel class! I don't start class again until the middle of July.
  • Grayson is still growing slower than doctors would like him to be...we are in the process of working with a child nutritionist to beef him up:)
  • I have a classroom next year...no more pushing a cart for this lady!
  • The weather has been beautiful. I got sunburned yesterday taking my students outside to read for a bit.
  • Griffin can ride a two-wheeler with training wheels. We are in the process of finding him a bike to have at our house.
  • I have become a garage sale shopper. I found amazing things last weekend.
  • Both boys now sleep in the same room, and the other room has been converted into a playroom. Most days it works out beautifully, and I LOVE having the downstairs not look like Toys R Us threw up on my floor.
  • My job at Eagle Brook will come to a close this weekend. I have mixed feelings. I adore working with kiddos and teaching them about Christ, but I am thankful to have more time to spend with my family.
  • Summer is right around the corner. I am a little disappointed that we have most of it filled up with school, weddings, trips, and curriculum writing. Praying my days are not as chaotic as the calendar looks.
  • Yesterday, after giving Griffin a piece of candy, he replied, "Thank you. You are such a special Mommy!" (Isabel, read carefully...candy is the way to Griffin's heart!)
I will post pictures soon!

We're still here...






I promise, my family is still alive and well. In fact, we are all currently healthy, believe it or not. Let's see how long that actually lasts.

Life is currently moving at a fast pace right now, and to be honest, I am having a hard time keeping up. I brought most of it on myself, so I know I can't complain, but I am currently running on empty!

Here is a glimpse into our past two weeks:
  • Kindergarten Screening---I CANNOT believe my child is old enough for this!
  • My 28th Birthday---loving that I am not 30 yet like most of my friends:)
  • Brandon and I went out on a date to The Tavern Grill and saw The Backup Plan.
  • Grayson passed all of his hearing tests and checked out wonderfully at his post-operation appointment
  • I have been completely busy with my doctoral program. Never in my life has education been this difficult for me. I am overwhelmed and constantly worried about getting my assignments done. Thankfully I am enjoying my current class, but man, I can't wait for my academic life to slow down for the summer!
  • Last night I participated in the Oak View Middle School Talent Show. A group of staff members performed the Hoedown Throwdown. Pictures and videos coming soon!
  • Only 26 more days of school with students and 28 total including staff days.
  • Griffin has been participating in T-Ball and Sports of All Sorts.
  • Grayson has developed quite the personality now that he can hear.
On Monday, we take Griffin to the eye specialist. We think his tear duct has closed again. I am waiting for confirmation on Monday, but I am convinced another surgery is in his future.

Check back soon for pictures and videos:)

Cullen Micah




We went to visit Chad, Angie, and Mr. Cullen this afternoon. He is a cute, little peanut. Griffin adored the new babe and won't stop talking about him. When we were leaving, he asked, "Can we bring him home?" Welcome to the world, Cullen Micah! You have two of the best parents around!

I am pleased to announce...

that Cullen Micah was born around 6:00AM. I am tickled pink, er...I mean blue, that the two of us share the same birthday. The Dunigan Family hopes to visit the little man soon, so I will post pictures as soon as I am able!

Congrats, Chad and Angie! I look forward to sharing so many memories with you and your sweet baby boy:)
