Happy New Year !!

Happy New Year!  I hope that 2012 will be happy, healthy, and prosperous for all of you.



I also hope that you all had a blessed and wonderful Christmas.  Mine actually was bittersweet.  My 92 year old grandfather passed away on his birthday on December 22nd.  He was an inspirational, generous, loving man.  He absolutely will be dearly missed by my family and his friends, but mostly by my grandmother.  They shared 72 years together...amazing and oh so sweet!  One of my cousins and her small kids were staying at my grandparents house so Santa could visit them there.  So, my mom, Meredith and I had Christmas morning in a hotel room in Shreveport, LA...not very merry, but we were happy to be together.  At the funeral, we did get to see many extended family members and old friends of my grandparents, which was nice. 

I am hoping that one of my little darlings has the Wild Times at the Bed and Biscuit book buried in their desk or backpack.  The library called with a "You have a very overdue book out..." message.  I know it is not on our table in the classroom because I would have grabbed it on my way out for the break.  Please check your child's backpack for the book.

Also, please remember to send your child to school on Tuesday with some new crayons and color pencils. 

Speaking of Tuesday, I will be out Tuesday morning to attend a funeral.  Please tell your child that I will be at school at 11:30.  I feel really bad to miss part of the first day that we come back, but I need to show comfort and support to the family of a former student.

I have enjoyed this time off (you know I looooove sleeping in!!), but have really missed my sweet kids and look forward to seeing them on Tuesday.
