Shelby Cake and Ice Cream

This cuteness is a girl I've taught for 4 years.  I've known her since she was a baby and was so excited for her to be in my kindergarten class 4 years ago.  I looped up with her to 1st grade, and then I began teaching a 2nd/3rd grade loop and she was in my class again!  So here we are 4 years later having an ice cream outing on a very hot summer day before she moves to Colorado.  Her little friends in our kindergarten class used to call her "Shelby Cake" even though her name is Shelby Kate.  Precious!  Her family and 4 other families of children I have taught for 4 years have witnessed Jeremiah and I meeting, dating, being engaged, getting married, and being pregnant!  I know Shelby Kate's family has wanted to move to CO for a long time, so I'm really happy for them.  But I'm certainly going to miss this girl!

Jonathan Comes to Visit!

Jeremiah's younger brother Jonathan has come to Texas once a summer for the past several years to visit Jeremiah.  He usually stays about 2 weeks and the they stay up late, watch movies, play golf and do other "manly" things.  This was his first visit since Jeremiah and I have been married, so I didn't know exactly how I would fit into the "manly" routine.  I certainly shouldn't have thought twice about it!  We all three hung out and had a great time watching the Olympics, going to see the new Batman movie, and eating plenty of good food!  I tried to let them have their guy time by declining golf outings and video games.  :)

The last day Jonathan was here we tried Pop's Burgers.  Jeremiah had already eaten there and said their burgers were great, and he was correct!  I think I might agree that they have the best burger in FW.  Thanks guys, for making me feel included.  Jonathan, you are welcome in Texas anytime!
