Cute little girls

The past two days have been full of new teacher training. I am getting more excited and nervous about teaching with each passing day. I am really excited about my Reading classes. The majority of the students I will be teaching will have never read a whole book by themselves. Can you believe that? I can't imagine a life without books, without reading.

Last night, Tom, Ellie, and I headed over to Mark's house for grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. It was great hanging out with the family after two long days of training. Sweet, baby Olivia was even wearing the dress that Ellie wore a little over a year ago for Tom's birthday. Isn't she adorable?
Ellie was so happy to see her Aunt Sabrina. She really misses Sabrina and Kolby a lot. Sabrina and Rosie were like second moms to Ellie last year. I feel really fortunate that I had my sister-in-laws around to help watch Ellie when she was so little. And I love seeing the bond she has with her aunts as a result!
