Camp Out dinner
Kelley and Chris were cmaping out at the KOA by us so we went over there for dinner. Juliette tried to do her sharing food game where she offers you the food but then takes it back and laughs---she tried to do it with the dogs...it didn't quite work out the way she planned. I think she was shocked that the dogs were faster than us and actually ATE her food!! The nerve!!
Nay Aug Park
Nay Aug was a big deal when I was little. There was a zoo, rides like the Tilt a Whirl, and most importantly, a snack bar. The animals and rides are gone, but there's a playground and Juliette enjoyed the swings and the little bridge.
"New" Pictures
Ok here are the pictures I've been promising to put up. They go back to the beginnins of the month.
Here are just a few of Miss Juliette playing with Mommy and Daddy.

Woah
Ok so I've been bad about keeping up with this the last two weeks- I promise I do have some really cute pictures to upload as soon as I get the chance. I'm at school right now with a few minutes to spare before the kids leave.
Juliette has been doing great with Miss Cindy and loves playing with the other kids. Yesterday I picked her up and they were playing restaraunt or something and one kid was at the register, one was at a little kitchen play set and Juliette was carrying cups around :). Today she is home with Nana because last night she was up until after 10 and I thought she might have been getting a little cold with a runny nose, but after a phone call home learned she was doing fine. Nana thinks one of the kids taught her how to march because that's all she was doing this afternoon! Josh and I have gotten a really good morning schedule going- we'll see how long we can keep it up. I get up and shower...he gets up to get showered, I wake the baby up at 6:45, she gets her milk and cheerios, and then she and Josh leave around 7:10. I finish getting ready and have breakfast and leave around 7:40. We pack Juliette's bag the night before so all Josh has to do is grab her baby doll she sleeps with and out he goes. I leave a note each day for Cindy in Juliette's lunch box about her meals and if there are any special things going on with her like the other day she had a diaper rash and we weren't giving her juice for a few days.
The first day of taking her to the sitter last week was really hard for me, but now I'm used to it. I can't say I like only seeing her for a few hours at night, but it is what it is. At least we have the weekends and vacation days.
My job is falling into place and we'll start pulling kids out of class on Monday for services. I don't have a third grade group, but I've got two fourth grades. I just can't get over how different it is from middle school- I've been living in that world for 6 years! Once I get the kids it'll all come back to me.
Ok stay tuned for pictures that go a few weeks back!! :)

Another Update
We've been back from PA for a week and it's getting crazy in the Long household. At the last minute I found out I had to turn in an orientation packet for work so I had to run all over to get the papers filled out including a TB test and a form for the bank for direct deposit. Thank God Nana was here to watch the baby! I'll be loading tons of pics soon from our time in PA.
I was going to start taking Juliette to the sitter on Monday so she could have a full week, but then the sitter said there weren't going to be other kids there until Wednesday which is technically the day I'm supposed to be reporting to work, but because I'm new in my building, I'm going to the new teacher meetings that are specific to my assignment with my principal. So Nana is keeping Juliette for Monday and Tuesday and she'll begin Miss Cindy's on Wednesday. We are going up one afternoon to drop off her supplies and a letter about Juliette's habits. I was worried Cindy would think I was a nut if I showed up with a brochure on Juliette, but she laughed and said a lot of her parents do that and it really helps so big sigh of relief for me.
