School, Work, Sleep and Repeat

 The past few weeks have kept us busy. Getting used to being back in school has been fun though. I really have enjoyed this class so far and they have revived my love for teaching. Here are a few pictures of my classroom this year. 
Front of our room.

A glimpse from the doorway.

Looking toward the back of the room.

The kids hooks and sink in the back corner.

My desk....notice the awesome Allsteel chair Jacob got me :)
If you want to see more pictures of what my class has been doing check out my classroom blog:

Jacob has been swamped at work with new projects but has really enjoyed rubbing it in that I can't sleep in anymore since I have school. He also bought a tandem kayak for us to take on any river we would like to travel on. Here is a picture of the new kayak and Jacob enjoying lunch on the Cedar River (what is left of it after the dry summer). 


Here are a few more pictures you might enjoy. I think these were taken before school started when we went hiking in Cedar Valley Park.

Our trusty hiking companion, Ally. :)

Finally Bloggers

We have been talking about starting a blog for several months now, so all of you can be updated on our life in Iowa. After seeing many friends and family members this summer and missing the everyday updates from each of them, we decided to make it easier for us to share our lives with all of you. Our goal is to add at least a photo a week with a small caption. Hope you enjoy our adventures in Iowa with us!
