It's been almost a  year since I've blogged in my teaching blog.....  so much has happened since then!   We found out we were having a baby at the end of April.  The summer was a whirlwind of doctor's appointments and anticipations!!    School started back and I welcomed 21 super special first graders.....teaching during the third trimester was challenging!  However,  I perservered and we welcomed Gage Abraham Barker on December 20, 2012!!  He is absolutely the best thing I've ever done!!  I still can't believe I'm a mommy!   I will be 40 on my birthday and I never thought I'd be able to be a mother..... God is good!!
