Staying cool on the back patio.
At the beach. Beckem really enjoyed digging in the sand!
I'm too cool...
Beckem and cousin Delaney on a warm summer day.
I wish I was better about keeping up with this blog so I wouldn't have to cram 3 months into a little paragraph! We had a very busy summer. To start, we all went to California to visit friends and family. We took Beckem to the beach for the first time and got to enjoy cooler weather. Then Beckem and I flew up to Washington to visit my sister and her daughter, Delaney. The cousins had so much fun together! Beckem went to the zoo for the first time and got to have a little friend 24/7. They fought and played together just like brother and sister! I went back to work early in August and have a tough class this year. 14 boys and only 9 girls. And all of the boys are very, well, let's just say they're ALL BOY! I've really been hitting the behavior management hard so that it will pay off later and I can actually get some teaching in : ) Here are some photos to enjoy.
