Daddy Daughter Dance

It is hard to believe that this is T. and T.'s third daddy daughter dance! Where does the time go?? A. was soooo excited that she is finally old enough to attend the annual school dance with her sister and daddy. The theme of the dance this year was Yee-Haw to Spring and it may be hard to tell in these picture but they all have shirts with a western flare! We don't - believe it or not - have a lot of cowboy dress in our house. T. is wearing a very country shirt with the oh so great "snap" buttons and it even has a snake on the side of it.
Don't let me forget to mention that the hat T. is sporting has all kinds of John Deere logos on it - you can't get much more country than that.
This is me trying my best to look sad about being the only one left at home... I was bummed not to go. Now let me explain the Biology book... I had a date with a biology book this night because I am OFFICIALLY employed again. I just landed my first teaching job since I took a leave to have T. almost 8 years ago. I am going back into the classroom as a high school Biology teacher. I will be teaching night school two nights a week for the next 9 weeks. It is a pretty exciting job for me because I can still have my days to be home with the girls and work in their classes. It will be A TON of work as I have found out rather quickly how much I have forgotten from my U of I days as a Biology major (it was a little depressing and a lot humbling). That said, my blog posting days may come to a halt for a little while as I attempt to juggle teaching, "momming," track coaching, and the girls' soccer schedules!! Wish me luck...

Wow! So exciting! Not only the dance, but teaching night school biology! I bet you will do great juggling everything, though I will miss your posts. Right now I'm procrastinating my date with my math paper, so thank you for posting.

That is exciting! One day I will have time to find a job. Though I don't know what I will be qualified to do by then. Good Luck!

Congrats on the job. I can't wait to hear how it goes.
The girls look so cute with their daddy.

I bet Daddy and his girls had a fun time at the dance! And congrats on the job! I know you'll do great at all of your jobs!!! If anyone can handle it, you can! Seriously April, you always impressed me with your strong study skills and will power to ignore my pleas of "Come on, we won't be out long...." This is why you graduated with a much higher GPA than me!

Both girls are in! I bet A was so excited after watching Sis go all these years (hee hee...all these years in kid time). I am excited about the teaching and WILL call you to find out all of the details. The girls look so cute. Did T get her Flat Friend yet? What did she think of the massive poster picture? -S
