Love to Learn Centers Winners

Thanks to everyone that entered my give away! I loved reading all of your favorite Valentines books and suggestions for future packs. I’m currently working on a St. Patrick’s Day pack and then a Spring pack.

Sorry that it’s been a few days since the give away ended. My intention was to post the winners on Tuesday night HOWEVER on Tuesday afternoon we received Hadley’s Aussie citizenship in the mail (we’ve been waiting for it every day) so we decided to pack up and go to Washington DC to get her Aussie Passport. In the end, we raced down there, stayed the night and thought we had everything filled out correctly but yesterday we got a call saying that we had completed something incorrectly. Yesterday was spent racing around trying to get it fixed! Hopefully we’ll have her passport by the end of next week. We’re looking at booking tickets this weekend and it looks like we’ll be touching down on Aussie shores before the end of February. I haven’t been “home” in 5 years so I’m pretty excited to see everyone.

It’s certainly going to be a whirlwind trying to find jobs and getting settled but it should be a great adventure!

Here are the winners – you’ll be hearing from me soon.

Have a great weekend!

Valentines Freebie

As promised, here is a Valentine freebie for you to add to your February centers.

Students pick a card, write the number in the heart (on the recording paper) and then draw the correct number of tally marks. The download includes numbers 11-30 and also 2 pages for the recording sheet (so you can photocopy front and back). You can nab this freebie by clicking on any of the pictures above. Hurry though because TPT has now put a limit on freebies and so I’ll have to take it down soon to add another.

Meet Hadley …….she is my new love She was born Dec 3rd and was 8lb 13oz.

And here she is more recently. She is SUCH a good baby! I am totally blessed that she is so easy going with all the change that has happened since her birth.

Yep, it’s all gone (well actually, it’s all on a boat somewhere headed to Sydney). Next Monday is our official “termination” date  from our job (as we violate the 2 child policy). Thankfully the school has moved us to a furnished apartment where we can stay until our flights to Australia. As of today, we’re not quite sure when that will be………we just need to get Hadley’s Australian citizenship papers and her Aussie passport and then we’ll be off (we’re thinking mid February). The only thing left to do is sell our Durango! The boys have done very well with everything…they ADORE their sister and really like the little apartment we’re staying in too. they’ll be more on everything that’s going on in a later post.
