National Board Certified!

no, not me... yet...but...

MY HUSBAND JON IS NOW A NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHER!

We found out Friday. It's a big deal around here, both professionally and financially. I am so proud of my husband and happy his really hard work has paid off.

I honestly don't have the energy to go into the 8-million hoops one must jump through in order to earn this prestigious title, so here's a link. The short of it is that he worked on his portfolio for MANY long hours last fall and winter, not many people "make it" their first year, and he did.

Congrats, Jon. I love you.


And now, for a handful of semi-random pics....Here's the fam celebrating at San Jose Friday night. No, EJ was not really being fed Mexican food.

Here's the "Chubba Wubba" before our Friday outing... he is 10 weeks and weighs 17 pounds. Not a typo. SEVENTEEN. (Donna, the monkey suit is PRECIOUS - thanks!) And, in case you wondered, that's drool on the pants. We're there with the drooling. Time to whip out the bibs.

And here's Chubba Wubba in an attention competition with Dora the other day.

But, I don't want to end here without bragging just one more time, so here goes:

JON IS A NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHER, PEOPLE!!!
