Busy bee

As summer begins blazing, it is strange that I start the season with a head cold. I think my health is finally catching up with my life. Never having to take a sick day this year, I can't really complain. I simply get to rest as I start my first summer break since I myself was a student. It's certainly been a busy couple of weeks...
Who said you can't grow large veggies without a yard?
I made some yummy low-fat blueberry muffins!
This recipe from Pinterest was awesome!
It's actually two recipes I rolled into one: blackened chicken with avocados and a fresh mango dressing
My smart students rolled the wrong house (a different Mrs. Smith, go figure!)
Thus, my co-workers found out and thought it would be funny to roll my classroom on the last day of school. It was really funny.
We had a fabulous start to Memorial Day in St. Simons (prior to the cold taking root)
We had one great day at the beach before the tropical storm rains hit.
We celebrated Aunt Dell's bday with the St. Simons family. 
You can't really see it here, but there was a double rainbow in the sky just before the terrible tropical storm hit the island. Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel even showed up on the beach!

My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
