Week 2 part 1--T and L post...

I am enrolled in a course for my MEd titled, Teaching and Learning in a Networked classroom... One requirement is to create/post to a blog. I figure that instead of creating a brand new blog, I would just use this one and then my use of this blog would translate to me actually updated and keeping this blog up to date... High hopes... maybe... We'll see...

This afternoon I've been sucked in and all consumed by the site Diigo and the fact that now all the websites I have bookmarked on three different internet browers and written down on all types of paper scattered all over the house can now be in one location. I may also be newly addicted to Google Reader as well...

I stumbled upon this video, which I thought was very cool and thought I'd share... I'll post more re:T&L requirments soon... Still working on readings...

Best Dance Moves... Ever...

Just thought that you'd all enjoy this... Make sure that you have your speakers on.  The music is a big part... And just in case you were wondering, yes, the song is Forbidden Fruit by Jessica Simpson...

1st Sledding Trip...

For christmas this year (and for last year and while we're at it, probably for christmas next year too) JPA got a pull sled.  I came across it last year at LL Bean (a wicked good deal).  Two weeks ago we took JPA out on it.  At first, he didn't really know what to do or why to react.  It was really funny cause 1. He was in his snowsuit so he couldn't really move and 2.  It was his first time with an extended trip outside in the winter.  He really did well.  Once we got back home nate had been snowblowing a starting ramp on the backyard hill and Nate and JPA did a few trips down the backyard hill.   Don't believe me, here are the pics!

All bundled up and ready to go!!!

Yahoo!!! More, more, more!

Faster mama faster!

1st trip (out of many) in the big sled down the backyard hill!!!

New Year...

Okay, so I've been really, really bad about keeping this blog updated but I've also been very very busy... Graduate school, a running 14 mth old, working 3 nights a week (5 during x-mas vacation)...

BUT...

New year = new year resolutions... Blogging several times a week with actual, meaningful text.. and pics... and scrapbooking too... :o)

However...

Our newish camera broke (the image sensor) so I have to mail it back to Canon (thank god it is still under warranty).  It's going to take two or so week so I have to use the old one... Which I am not that fond of but am excited that appreciative that I have it...

So, from here on out... I will TRY to post more regularly... Here's hoping!!!

Anatomy of a cry...

Here is a shot-by-shot series of pics of JPA being all mad because he couldn't get the lid off a box…

 

 

 

See, all that fuss for nothing…
