A quick note.

So, it's about time I head to bed. However I thought you all would enjoy some pictures of last weekend .
We were able to finally meet my adorable sweet nephew Liam. Isn't he a sweetheart? He fit right in the crook of my arm. I could have held him all night. Oh wait a minute I did!:D I actually was able to hold Liam and my five week old second cousin Lilli we also had two, two year olds to chase and Alyvia too hold and a six year old and four year old. Yes, my Mimi's house were filled with children last weekend.




Here I am with my sweet niece Alyvia. Isn't she getting so big?? Ohhh, I just LOVE her!My sweetie pie Devyn! Talk about getting big he is getting so old. Every time he says "Gi Gi" My heart melts.:)

My oldest nephew Patrick with his Uncle Aaron.:) Patrick is so smart! He is so fun!!

Thanks so much Morgan!!

A real post?? Can it be??

Yes, bloggie people, it can be and it is...a true, real life, real post from no one other than little ole Pieces Of My Heart author, me.:) I am afraid I went back to the days before Christmas break where my blog sat on the back burner and just waited for me to turn on the dial so the kettle could get hot and I would have a nice steaming cup of blog. I am afraid the water got mighty cold for a while except for a couple of my cheated postings, I have written so little. My intent was not to get back in that ole habit, but as we know, it happens to the best of us. So here I am with my semi hot cup of an apology. Please take this luke warm mug and find it in your heart to forgive little ole me.

Now that we got that taken care of I can bare my heart out. First things first. I need to give a gigantic huge cyber space THANK YOU to my sweet friend Mackenzie for the beautiful design she did to this blog. Isn't it beautiful???? It was such an awesome surprise when I came home from school yesterday and found it! Those of you who are new to this blog, those sweet children on my header are my pride and joy. The boys are my nephews and that sweet baby girl is my niece. The two other stunning children are not children any more. Carole is my sister and Aaron is my brother and I think that just about sums my title right up. Pieces of my heart, yup, family means a lot to me!!

And speaking of family......on Sunday afternoon we are having a family reunion.:) It's my Aunt's birthday and the only thing she has requested for a gift was to have her whole family together. So...yup another trip down to my grandmother's. YAY!! Love when that happens. We are leaving tomorrow morning and I will ask all of you to pray for a safe trip and a good time once we are there. We are also going to be picking up my sister Carole. I am not sure if I mentioned this or not but, Carole has been down there for two weeks!!!!! She has been babysitting our little niece. She brought her school work and she has been having a blast. Although, I must admit I miss her a lot!!:)

Next on the agenda.... once upon a time I was real savy with this thing called "a blog" I then started finding more things on my plate and then there came a point when I only picked up my fork and pressed published and left the blog design to Mackenzie and the rest up in the air until I had time to tweak different things on this nook of mine. However, I have noticed this called followers on a lot of my bloggie friends blogs and I even have a follower, I found out. So the reason why I didn't add this new fangled feature was because I was afraid I would have no followers and I would look like a girl who has neglected her blog and nobody cares to check it anymore.:) And so I wasn't going to add it, however I thought with my new look and actually posting I should do something different today. So I am going to add this feature. So do you wanna follow me??? It may be fun???:) So I will add that hopefully when I am done writing this post.:)

Well, I guess it is time for me to stop this rambling once again. I appreciate each one of you who faithfully comment or even who don't comment but faithfully reads my blog. Even if I need a lesson or two on keeping up with my little corner on the net.:) Hopefully I will have plenty of pictures to show of this weekend!!

A proud moment

I have been meaning to post this small "proud" moment I had with one of my students the other day and thought....well, I haven't posted in a while why not I post it tonight! So here it goes...

I wrote a simple word on the board and encouraged one of my students to sound it out. We first focused on the blend in the word... BA which says??? Come on bloggers I know you can do it!!! That's right BA! Very good.

We then concentrated on the last letter T which says t...t...t as in table.:) All of the sudden my little student said "Bat" I was so thrilled!!

He said "Miss_______ I am going to go home and read a book!" LOL

Well, I need to head to bed.School is tomorrow and I am sure I will come home with many more "proud moments" to share with all of you!:)

((GRIN))

Yes, I am grinning like a fool because I am ashamed to say......it's almost been a week since I posted! ((cringe)) I am sorry!!! I am also grinning because I am going to cheat and not write a big ole long post tonight. Nope I am afraid not.

Instead I am going to direct all my bloggie people to a very fun blog! I just was over there and frankly this post is just like all her other ones fun to read. So, bloggy people go on over to my kindergarten teacher's blog and have a good giggle. Yes, indeedy Mrs.H was my kindergarten teacher and one of my early role models who encouraged me at a young age to become a teacher. ((Smile))

Well, hopefully I will be back tomorrow with a longer post but until then go over and say hi to Mrs.H....I won't give you a failing grade or anything if you want to say "Hi" to me as well. ((Smirk))

Good Night!
