My secret is out

So my secret is out... Adventures of the Hartley 3 will become the Hartley 4 in March... (need some help with a creative title-feel free to post suggestions).  We are VERY excited to welcome another little one to our family.  I haven't been feeling the greatest which is ONE reason I haven't posted much.  I found that if I spent any amount of time on the computer, it made me feel sick... which sucked when browsing Pinterest or ALL.THE.FUN.TEACHING.BLOGS that are out there!  Who knew there were so many!!! 

The start of school has also put my life into a whirlwind.  Most of you know I changed to a new school this year AND I'm back in the classroom.  So I've felt very much like a first year teacher at times.  It's hard learning new school procedures when you were at your previous school for 12 years.  And believe it or not, the last 3 years of being out of the classroom- things have changed... more paper work, higher expectations, etc.  Combine that with first trimester ickiness and tiredness... AND a 19 month old- Life has been interesting!  :)

Nancy Carolyn is quite a character.  Her personality is very much like Chris's... SHE.IS.FEARLESS and is very much "boy-like" in her energy and playing.  Don't get me wrong, she loves her babies, but she is VERY energetic.  :)  She also has a strong will and a hard head- which she comes by honestly (and I know is part of being a toddler).  She definitely makes life fun!  I love her exploding vocabulary and how she can communicate more and more each day!  My favorite things she's said and done recently is doing the Tomahawk Chop (chant and arm movement) and ANYTIME she sees the Braves on TV or hears the game on the radio, she now says "Go Braves"  LOVE HER!!!
