Back to School... : (

I started back to school on Monday, teaching 7th grade and so far it has been great. I have a good group of people that are there to support me and keep me afloat! It was tough Sunday getting ready to leave my little angel but (after many tears) I was able to do it. Dustin helped to comfort me by stuffing my facw with chocolate cake (thanks Christy for leaving that)! Cate did wonderful with the babysiter on Monday and Tuesday (Bear Bear is such a blessing!) and she smiled and coo'ed for her when Dustin left her. Here is my baby smiling at me...

Holding on telling me she doesn't want me to go to work~

This is the look she gave me when I told her I had to go ~~~

Me comforting her (it was actually her that comforted me) :)

Random Sweet Shots!

I love my papa and his shades!
