Jo Mama's Daycare

There's something that I know is true about Joanna...One day she will be an amazing mom. For now, she's just an amazing wife, but between all the opportunities she's had to work with kids and what I truly think is a God given gift, Joanna is like a baby whisperer. Luckily, she continues in those opportunities here at Geneva. The other day, we tagged team the whole crew of little ones and decided we should incorporate. Jo Mama's Daycare was born! From left to right - Ellie, Jo Mama, Toby, Deacon, and Isabel A glimpse into the future?

Taylor and his staff our on a retreat this weekend. And I got to participate in a 3v3 tournament. Only one other girls team signed up. So we played best out of 3 games. We won 1:)
My Team: Sara,Marti, me, and Janelle
Our team name: Oldies but Goodies (I was the youngest on the team)
A nice action shot
This is us with the opposing team. Don't our colors go together perfect.

Go Suns!

Between turkey hunting and flying back to PA, my dad decided we needed to slip in a Suns game. I'm a pretty big Suns fan and that was the closest I had ever been to the court! I felt very spoiled. The Suns took home a victory at the end of the night knocking the Golden State Warriors out of playoff contention. Tonight, the Suns play game two of their round one match up with the San Antonio Spurs. We need this win tonight. Go Suns!

Thanksgiving In April

My dad brought me back out to my home state and we headed into it's northern parts to do some turkey hunting. The mornings come quite early when you're hunting these feast favorites, but the afternoon naps made up for it and it was well worth the excitement we had. I got a couple of turkeys and my dad took the meat home to make WORLD FAMOUS TURKEY TACOS:) An old truck in the middle of no where. A couple of these wily birds crossing the road. Lucky for them we had already filled our tags. The reward of our 3am alarm clock.

Let it Roll

Do you ever have one of those moods when you could just really go for a Thunder Storm? That's where we're at. Just thought we'd share.

Letting Our Frustrations Out;)

Today, Joanna and I spent most of our day at our local Starbucks. Joanna needed to get a paper out of the way and I had some reading I was happy to indulge in. One of the many perks of spending time at Starbucks is access to internet not shared by 102 other people. Way past due are the pictures of our time with Wes. Downtown Pittsburgh, Wiffle Ball Tourney, and the annual Pearce v Memorial football game. I put tons of pictures up just because I could:). Pictures from my time with my dad will be coming soon!

We Survived

Ellie and I had a great time together. We went to a birthday party, took a nap, had pizza at a friends house, and some friends came to play with us before we went to bed. Ellie slept great in a strange place, expect that she woke up at 2:00 am ready to play:)
This is our friend Sara who hung out with us. It is amazing how much you can get done when you wake up early. Ellie helped me fold and put away laundry before we went to church. I had a good time with Ellie, but I think Taylor and I will still stick to our 5 year plan.

Sleep Over

Taylor is in Arizona hunting with his dad. And Ellie came over to play with me. She is going to spend the night so that I am not lonely (and her parents can get a good eight hours of sleep). I will let you know how the night goes. This could help Taylor and I stay on our 5 year plan before having kids:)

RD Fun

A few times a semester, we have RD Fun Night. It is just a chance for all of the RD's and their families to get together. We had a BBQ and made s'mores. These people may be co-workers, but they have become like family to us. We are grateful for all of them.

Frustrated!

We keep trying to share with the world our stories, but for some reason we cannot upload any pictures! We have a lot that we would love to put up...Wes' visit, broomball, Jo Mama's Daycare Services, etc. but we have no such luck. I guess that's what happens when you share the internet with 102 students.

Our Cousin Wes

Wes has come and gone and we had such a great time with him. We made him participate in sports, woke him up early to watch a football game, and made him eat Chipotle three times. It really was great to have him out here and we always enjoy it when we get to spend some time with him. More pictures will come later.
