Welcome Wren Taylor

Jim and I were fortunate to be there when the newest g-boy was born on Jan. 23, 2013 at 7:52pm.
He is doing great!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARA!

We hope you have a good day!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!  We love you!

Happy Birthday, Harrison!

Harrison's birthday party was a little early, but we celebrated today with a Halloween theme.  It gives the kids a chance to wear their costumes twice.  They had a really good time today.

Baby Boy Bowers Is on the Way

The Friday night before Father's day I had a dream that Allison was pregnant with a boy and he was born on my birthday.  On Father's day we went to Allison's house for brunch.  Lanie was running around and I saw some writing on her shirt, but she wouldn't stand still long enough for me to read it.
Finally, Allison caught her and turned toward us and said, "look!"  Lanie's shirt said, "Big Sister."  I started jumping up and down and hugging Allison  all at once.  Then I told her about my dream. 
I guessed Lanie's name before she was born, so we'll see if the names I have picked match with what they will name the new Baby Boy Bowers.  I think for now I'll just call him BB Bowers.

Proud parents!

Happy Birthday, Lanie!

Hope you loved your birthday party.  We love you.

Seam Award

In May I received the SEAM Award at school.  I also received it for the District.  It is for working with special education students in my room.  I'm proud of the work I do with these kids.  A lot of them feel successful in my classroom, where they struggle in other classes. 

This is the district award, it is glass, so it had to be laid down to photograph.

The certificate is from the district and the star award is the building award. 

Happy Birthday, Grant!

Today, is Grant's birthday.  He is 2 years old today.  We love you Grant.
