Giving Props

I have to start this blog by giving props to my pops. When our tree branches crashed down in our yard last week, my dad came over as soon as he heard and helped to saw it all down. Thanks dad!

Last weekend we had a big yard sale. We meant to take a picture of all the "junk", but we were too busy! Most of it was Joy's "treasures" and we got rid of a ton. Though she still went home with 2 truck-loads. We took our leftovers to Goodwill. Of course, we confiscated some of each other's belongings as well, so I don't know if we really ended up with less or not!

Chasen has started eating finger-foods. It's been both fun and messy! He grabs handfulls of cereal and shoves them in his mouth. Half hit the spot, and the other half end up on his clothes, the highchair, or the floor. He also eats tortillas, spaghetti, and bread. I haven't even started the real messy foods yet, I'm nervous! Maybe we will feed him those outside on the deck and not over our carpet!

Justin has started taking online courses from Dekalb Tech. I'm a little embarrassed. So far, his classes/teachers are not living up to the expectations we have for the school. I don't teach online courses, so I can't relate but I think not returning student emails and waiting over a week to post grades is unacceptable! I hope things start to progress with his classes so that he can gain the knowledge and skills he needs in the workforce. And so that I can be proud that I teach at a good college!
