Hello, Daddy has news too!!!





Hey guys, thanks for all your sweet words of encouragement. Life hasn't changed too much around here. EXCEPT: Daddy has a new job. (We blog so much about Camden that sometimes we forget to mention us!!)
Kevin accepted a job as Art Teacher for the Excel program in Duval. Excel is SED kids (severe emotionally disturbed), kids with behavioral (and for some legal!) problems. He started at Paxon Middle last week--the first day of school was Monday. So far he's observing, but tomorrow he'll actually get to give his first presentation, on "What is Art?" and introduce himself to the kids.
He'll do a month and a half at each school, and when the middle schools are done, move to high schools--it's a rotating thing. But he's got some really cool activities already planned out, thanks in part to Joani who helped him with power point stuff over the weekend.
Here's a few shots from our weekend. All the Bailey's were in Tallahassee at Nana and Gramps. Kevin and I went out to eat (on the big 5 year wedding anniversary!) on Friday night, then Saturday the whole crew (minus Ashley and Bob) ate at the Osceola Grill, while watching the Seminoles scrimmage. We completely pigged out and had lots of fun. (thanks Nana for the cool baby stuff--and the extra sleep-- and thanks Gramps for the food!). Aunt Ash, it was great seeing you again! (You too, Uncle Jon, although you were like a Zombie all weekend. "WAKE UP JEFF!".
Camden also checked in with his Tallahassee Lassie, Ms. Olivia, who's looking mighty fine! It was hard for Camden to control his impulses and we had to get onto him for getting a little fresh with her (see pic). It was great to see her again and all the cool things she's up to.
(As always, thanks Beth and Joani for letting me steal the pics.)
P.S. With the change of jobs, Kevin's salary increased so there's a new addition to the fam: a 1997 Honda Accord--dark green, power everything, a sometimes schizophrenic AC, not so bad mileage and in great shape. Soooo nice having a 2nd car again!! Thank you, God!!! :)
