We are back to the blog!

So our last post was over a year ago (!!!) and we have relied since on text, email, and Facebook to stay connected and current.
We would like to swing back into this century and utilize our blog again to share news, pictures, and stay in touch with everyone.

So....what's happened since the last post?   A LOT!

We celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary!  Can you believe it's been 10 years?  Throwback pictures to follow soon!

We BOTH have earned our graduate degrees in Education!  John's is a MSEd in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment.  Jess's is a MSEd in Reading and Literacy.

Gia is almost two!  She's smart, funny, and very energetic.  She is also going to be a big sister!  Our new baby girl is due on October 16th, 2013.  Her pics are coming soon, too.

Finally, big news on the job front. I (Jess) have a minor pregnancy complication that can increase the chances of preterm labor.  So, doctors have put me on modified bed rest.  What does this mean?  It means I have to stay home, sitting mostly, until the baby's born.  This includes not going back to work this school year.  It was hard to tell my principal and even harder to accept the idea, but I have to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to keep baby V #2 cooking for as long as possible!

So this summer and fall are going to be spent relaxing, reading, playing with Gianna, hanging out with hubby, doing crafts, and working on this blog.  I'll probably blog about the family, cooking, art projects, and stuff in general daily, including posting pictures.  Please post back! We love to hear from family.

So....until the next post, have a great one!
