Hello, Summer!

It's done. School is over and so the summer has begun! It was a good last couple of weeks of school, full of meetings, IEPs, and getting everything of mine out of the classroom and home. I will miss it there. I will miss the kids, the teachers, the people. I will have to go back and visit them when I can; show off the baby. I am sure that if I do not, I will hear about it!

 

It has been a while since I last posted! Nikolai and I went to the zoo, not this past weekend but the one before, with my friend Meghan and her two kiddos. It was the first time we tried to feed the giraffes and the ducks. Nikolai did well with feeding the ducks. I think he was a little scared to feed the giraffe!

 

 

Wait to Fall Asleep...

I am waiting for Nikolai to fall asleep, and while I am waiting, I feel like I am going to doze off! I feel like I have a few times! But Nikolai is being a mean tired, and I am not going to put up with it. I am done with time outs, he is laying down!

 

I cannot sleep until he does, only because I don't need him getting into trouble. I feel better knowing that there is someone to watch after his mischievousness. Not that he usually is, because he is not, but because I just feel better with having a 2 year old under supervision...

 

So while I wait to be able to take a nap, I thought I would show you this picture... It seems this owl has made it's home in one of the Saguaros on the property. Pretty neat!

 

 

It's a bit blurry because I don't have a fantastic zoom. So this one is cropped...

 

It's not the hawk that was sitting on the fence the other day when I left for work. So many neat raptors in the area. I don't know how the vulture with the broken shoulder is doing... I love it out here. :)
