Happy Thanksgiving from the Houstons

 I’m realizing I haven’t posted since before Thanksgiving! So I will attempt to catch up in this post. For me, the biggest thing that has happened since my last post was that I found out last night that I am a National Board Certified Teacher! I had to take an exam and complete three additional writing components (on assessment, my teaching abilities and writing instruction). I spent countless hours writing, editing and studying and cannot believe I did it! Thank you Lord for this incredible blessing!

We had our work Christmas party last night…. I love the people I get to work with every day!

This last week, Zander had an orchestra concert the same night that Maddox had a music performance at school. I got to catch the first portion of Z’s concert and made my way across town to cheer on Maddox (who also played an instrument as part of the Elf Band). Grammy, Grandpa and Aunt Lindsey stayed with Z while daddy and I watched M! It takes a village but I’m so thankful for the one I have that loves and supports our boys!



Beau had his first snow and we had a snow day for the first time in years! It wasn’t much and mommy had a teacher workday but we enjoyed a different schedule on Tuesday!

Jingles, Maddox’s elf, came back to visit us in my office this Christmas season. Maddox loves seeing all the different places that Jingles moves around our room! It’s magic!;)
We got to celebrate Thanksgiving with both sides of our family… Zack’s crew on Thursday and my crew on Saturday, last weekend. We love time with our family!
On the Friday after Thanksgiving, Zack took the boys shooting on a friend’s land while I went running with one of my BFFs, Carmen! It was a great day for everyone!

Beau got hurt running down the stairs with a stuffed animal much bigger than himself. He snagged his do claw and needed a temporary bandage to stop the bleeding and protect it from getting infected. He seems to be doing better now.

We had Balloons over Sedge Garden before Thanksgiving where the kids participated in Macy’s Day Parade themed activities!
This tree keeps getting bigger each year. Zack does a great job decorating it with Christmas lights!
Zander finished out his fall season with a win!
