Is This Thing On???....

Hi family!! Well, it's been a month since anyone posted (and much longer since I've contributed!), so I figured it was about time! :) As some of you already know, I have a baby on the way! I am due on February 27th, and Tyson and I are thrilled! I have been feeling generally good so far, and my doctor says that everything looks "normal and perfect!" Those were good words to hear! It will still be another 6 or 7 weeks before we find out boy or girl, so we will just have to wait patiently until then. I would post the sonogram pictures that I got about a month ago, but according to Beth, it looks more like cauliflower than a baby! :)

Other than that, this week I have been getting ready for my 5th year of teaching 6th grade science. The kiddos start back on Monday, and I'm looking forward to getting to know them. I always tell people that the kids are the best part of my job, but most of them don't believe me! The meetings, paperwork, and some testy parents I can live without...the kids are the part that keep it interesting and fun! (I hope all of my fellow teachers out there are saying Amen!)

Also, I have joined the bandwagon and started my own blog! I figured that every mommy or mommy-to-be nowadays has one, so I should too! I'm still figuring the whole thing out, but you can check it out at thekirkseys.blogspot.com

It was so wonderful to get to spend time with y'all this summer at the family reunion! Thanks for enduring the Texas heat!
