A LOT of pictures

I am returning to work Monday.  Bummer.  Being a stay at home mom is the best.  But I will miss teaching--I am not going back after this year.  I believe I am a better person, and will be a better mom, because of the experiences I've had and things I've learned. Teaching 6th grade is a perfect fit for me.  I love those kids and I'm glad I get to end the year with them.  I told them I'd bring lots of pictures of Ella to show them, so, if you want, you can look at them too. But I am warning you: there are A LOT. (One of my students spelled a lot 'allought' in a paper.  I later asked him how to spell a lot, and he answered, "it depends what kind you are talking about.')
