The State of the Shearers

Ok. Sorry it's been so long since our last post. Things have been busy busy busy. With the new job, Sylvan, and Lucy getting ready to walk, we haven't a spare moment. I wanted to just drop a few lines to update all those keeping score at home.

The job is GREAT! I'm enjoying it. Lots to do, especially since this is the final year of the grant, but I love what I do. We've prepared staff development opportunities for technology, collaboratively planned technology-infused units, and just provide support to the teachers. The teachers are incredible too. Each and every one is really an advocate for technology, which is amazing to see!

Lucy is getting around pretty well. She's walking when pushing her hippo pal and when you hold her hands. She's actually pretty speedy. She can get up both flights of stairs pretty easily, so we keep gates up at the top and bottom. Every question gets her patented, 'Dah' response. Amazing how one word can mean so much! She'll celebrate year One in a few weeks. Hard to believe! The Shearers and Flanigans will be in attendance. Fun times!

The great state of North Carolina provided us with a generous 2% raise. Don't know where we'll spend that--probably the Dollar Store. We did FINALLY get the lottery, so hopefully that will help the schools. If the bible thumpers don't kill us all first.
