My weekend plans

By -

What will I be doing all weekend? Well, for the last 2 weeks I've been slowly getting at my 10th graders' (I only have 90 of them) creative non-fiction stories... I also have 25 of my 11th graders essays, and now a new slew of 10th grade analytical papers to grade... and thus, I kiss my social life and any plans of relaxing goodbye as I grade, and grade, and grade my life away!

Yowzaas! That sounds like loads of fun. Maybe you should come up with some kind of peer critique/grading system... I think I would be getting super creative with something like that... I know we did some of that when I was in high school... Good luck!

I need to pick your brain for classroom management tricks. What do you do to get them quiet??

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
