Back to School!

Today was our first day back at the Academy. It was very difficult to get up with the alarm at 5:40am this morning. Dan and I have gotten very used to sleeping in until 8am (for Dan, it was more like 9:30am!). But, I missed my kids SO much!!! It was wonderful to get back to work. Here are some pictures of my kids at school today.



One of the upper school teachers went home for Christmas, but couldn't get back in time due to an error that the airline made with her tickets. Anyways, Dan is taking over her classes until she gets here. Please be praying for him as he is already working on lesson plans for three other subjects.

Today, my back was hurting the most it ever has. At points, it was extremely painful to walk! I went to the clinic after school to see the chiropractor and he did some adjustments. Apparently, my pelvic bone was all out of sorts, resulting in a pinched nerve. I felt MUCH better after the visit, but then a few hours later, the pain came back. I'm just not sure what to do. Please keep praying for that. It was hard being at school while in pain. I want to be able to run around and play with the kids, but it hurts too much. Thankfully, my kids are super understanding. They always say "So sorry the baby is paining you" and stuff like that. They are so sweet.

And finally, a belly picture. Here I am at 21 weeks. I'm huge (at least I think so). Dan found out he was 8 lbs. and 8 oz. when he was born and lately, I've been having fears about having a big baby boy.
Anyways, I am standing in the baby room. Notice the curtains! We just had them made. They are made out of a burlap type fabric. Very boyish.
