A Good Morning

Trent has been suffering from a double ear infection (the first ear infection since he got tubes put in in January, so I figure making it 4 months when we used to get them every other week is pretty good). Finally, last night, he slept through the whole night and woke up this morning in a great mood! I got some really cute pictures. So, I thought I would share :).

Trent is learning the parts of his body. So, when someone says, Show me your nose, he will point to his nose. Show me your belly, he picks up his shirt and pats his belly. This is what happens when you tell him to Show me your teeth.


We were watching The Upside Down Show this morning, and this was Trent's reaction to their not knowing what a golf ball was.


This is Trent's best friend, Neigh. You can see how much he loves him.

I'm in love....

... With the Juno soundtrack. Trent, Lane, and I will all sing and dance in the car to it!

Here are our favorite songs from it. Enjoy!

The Games People Play

I had to go to the local high school yesterday, and I was visiting with one of the principals and a couple of teachers. They were talking about playing the game "Ashley", at least that's what I thought they were saying. They asked me if I wanted to play, and they went to explaining the rules to me.

(WARNING: some bad words follow, but I will do the best to make them look as unoffensive as possible. This story was just too precious not to share).

Apparently, the game is all about strange names of students they have encountered through the years. I will put in caps the syllable that should be emphasized. First off, the name of the game was not "Ashley", it was As-SHO-le, named after one student a friend of the teacher's had taught. These were some of the names that followed:

"AB-sid-ee" spelled Abcde
SHI-thead
Sy-PHIL-lis
Nylon (Anisa and I actually went to school with her)

There were a few more, but I don't remember all of them right now. Just wondering if any of you have any names that I could use at the next playing of what I will from now on still spell "Ashley".

Goin' Home Again

It's official, I'm going to be working back in Starkville, beginning at the end of this month. This has been the first year that I actually lived and worked away from Starkvegas, and, while it was finally nice to develop some ties to Louisville, I miss my old job.

So, I will be the principal at Millcreek of Starkville Day Treatment, and I will also (hopefully, it looks good thus far) be contracting with Oktibbeha Co. Schools as a Behavior Specialist. So, that would be super cool :)

People used to tell me that Starkville would suck you in, and I guess they're right :) (I can already taste City Bagel and Mugshots!!)
