What a week!

This week has been a whirlwind! Last week I was attending a meeting about applying for unemployment. This week I have been packing up the classroom, finishing report cards and flying through the last 4 days of the school year. Friday, I finished packing, attended the end the year breakfast, checked out of my room and found out that I was getting called back to my same job (praise!!!), all the while prepping for a big gathering on Saturday as the Parker family descended on Holland! We hosted a lunch for everyone at the house to celebrate my grandparents move to Holland. Whew! Today it was just Taylor and I hanging out, and it was so nice to just RELAX. :) I feel like I am just starting to let it sink in that I don't have to worry about my job for next year, AND that summer break is finally here! Hooray!

Saturday was quite fun! Hosting is not my forte (ha!), but there was less pressure because it was all family. :o) We certainly had a packed house, and Taylor just spent most of the time chattering and roaming from room to room, weaving in and out of people, being her sweet self.

Playing with uncle Jeff in the pillow "fort"


Taylor got a little stroller from grandma mem, and has spent quite a bit of time pushing around her baby doll.
