Waiting...

As June 1 draws closer (and I get rounder) it becomes more and more difficult to wait for Baby's arrival!  But as we try to stay patient, here's what we've been up to:

Our good friend and neighbor, Mr. Fred, turned 88 on May 2.  We celebrated with dinner and a "Too Much Chocolate Cake" (one of my favorite new cake recipes--so simple and moist!)

Last week our 8th graders went on their class trip to Durango, CO, so I accompanied our 6th and 7th graders on a day trip up to McGaffey.  The adventure included trying to light a fire with no matches and grilling burgers with no utensils (let's just say we could have been better prepared...).  I am thankful to work with such resourceful colleagues!  The students had a great day (and tasty lunch) in the end.

Today we celebrated the end of the tennis season with a little awards party at our house.  I had fun decorating cupcakes to look like tennis balls  :)  This was such a great group of players and a fun season!

So the countdown continues...1 more week until the last day of school, 2 more weeks until Baby's due date, and ??? more days until we meet our little one!
