It’s been a very fast week – certainly due to the fact that we’ve been busy!<\/p>\n
Bill watched Axton a couple of times this week. Seems to be going very well… of course, this little guy is so calm, it’d be hard to expect anything else!<\/p>\n
We’ve been trying to get a little socializing in as we begin our fall here in Baxter. Tuesday Bill graciously accompanied me to the Back to School picnic. There are around a thousand employees in this district, so a ton of people were mingling about. Lucky for us, we followed the Svirs over, and we arrived just in time to catch my co-workers before they took off. Last night we had our first official dinner guests over for a real homecooked meal. Mike and Amanda were brave enough to test our cooking – and I suppose it payed off because Bill was in charge. He made a tasty roast, garlic new potatoes, onions, and carrots. I threw together a spinach salad (recipe compliments of Barb), and dinner was ready. Of course I was also in charge of dessert, and let me tell you – there’s nothing wrong with a bucket of ice cream. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
We decided to stay in Baxter this weekend, though I was leaning towards heading home. I’ll already have a sub in my room this Thursday and Friday – yikes! So, I thought it best to spend a little extra time this weekend setting up my lessons. (Don’t worry, my dear Alaskan friends… I am not going to revert to the “work all the time” mentality!)<\/p>\n
It sounds as though the other teachers in my life had good first weeks back to school, as well.<\/p>\n
Enjoy your weekend everybody! (Even you nurses that have to be at work!) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
