Getting ready for my first swim.

After the fun filled weekend in VA, everyone was very tired!
Flash is getting so big so quick! He has gained 15 lbs! Here are some pics of him. We can't wait to bring him to FL to play with Cassie and Nala. We need something to tire out this crazy man. Just to give a little perspective, I took a picture of his massive foot. He was playing with 2 full grown 70lb boxers the other day in the neighborhood and his feet are already bigger than theirs!!!! We are in for a BIG BOY!!!!!
BIG FOOT!
Outside of the theatre for In the Heights.
Yungie and Glen on 5th avenue.
St. Patrick's Cathedral. We actually saw a wedding about to happen there. Mother and father of the bride rolled up in a Rolls Royce and the wedding party was in 5 stretch limos. Obviously a little bit of cash went into that affair.
I got word last week that I got a new job in Howard County. I am currently split between 2 schools and share a program with 2 different teachers. Since the schools in Howard are so large we often have 1 1/2 music teachers at each school. I am the 1/2 music teacher at each school. I also have a 1 hour and 15 minute commute. My new school is in a wonderful community, and it is the closest school to Frederick in Howard County. My commute will only be 25 minutes. I will have about 440 students, with my own program. I am so excited to be able to have my own classroom and my own program where I can implement new things. It is very difficult teaching students who have 2 music teachers because everyone does things differently. It makes it very nice to not feel like you're sharing a college dorm room again. I am excited to have a job a little closer and in a nicer community.

We finished the side of the house where we removed 3 huge trees. We planted grass seed and some flowers, we are just waiting for it to grow.
My grandmother, who lived right across the street from Lonza where Jason works, always had the most amazing garden. Many of my flowers are pieces of things that my mom got from her. She always had concord grape vines too which were my favorite. I used to sit out in her garden and eat them right off the vine for hours when I was little. So, I decided I wanted to concord grapes of my own. We planted the stakes and the vines. It is still a work in progress, but if all goes well we will have grapes in September.
We put together a much needed storage shed and also out fire pit that we got from Danny and Erin for Christmas. It is finally warm enough and our yard doesn't look like a jungle. We are so excited to use it.
And of course...more pictures of Flash, just because he's cute. He was pooped after having all of the people in the house. A lot going on for the little guy!
Yeah, all we have is dog pictures these days. We're kind of excited about our little man. Flash has 2 speeds. Comatose and Psycho. We think we will get along with Cassie and Nala great when we go to Florida in June. Flash can fall asleep anywhere, anytime within a matter of 5 seconds.
Contrary to popular belief, he is actually asleep in this picture. One eye open, snaggle toothed and snoring loud as can be.
When Jason leaves for work on Thursdays when I am home, Flash spends the whole morning looking for him and then goes to sleep in him pile of clothes in the bottom of Jason's closet.
"I'm in big trouble"
Absolutely NUTS!!
The fabulous and curious boxer head tilt.
This picture is so funny. On the way home in the car, he fell asleep with his face in my hand. He was a tired little boy.
Yesterday we took the tape off his ears to see how they are doing. He looks handsome without his horns.
One ear needs a little work.
