end of summer has come and gone! BACK TO SCHOOL!!

Well...summer is definently over and it sure flew by. I have been a TERRRIBLE blogger lately! Here are a few pictures of how we ended our summer. I went to a Lady GaGa concert and it was AWESOME!!! She was the best performer I have EVER seen in concert! She put on a 3 1/2 hour show! We definently got our money's worth :)
Ava has been in ballet since June and has loved it. She will be starting at the Dance Factory taking ballet and tap class in September. I think she really loved it this summer. Here are a few pictures of her first experience dancing.
I sure hope all of you are having a more eventful summer then we are. Things are starting to slow down on the homefront. I will post pictures of my new classroom as soon as I can remember to take my camera to school wiht me. I am at a new elementary school this year. I am at Highland Park Central Elementary. This school is really been a good experience for me for the first week of school, it sure makes me come home and truly appreciate my kids and upbringing. This is a VERY low income school and these kiddos really have to go with out so many things in life. I am thankful that I can provide a smile and a safe place for my students during the day!
For those of you reading this that didnt already know.....Mira has moved to live with us permanently for school. We used to have her on the weekends and summers and she went to school in Tulsa with her mom, but things drastically changed this summer and I am so happy that she is with us almost full time now! She began a new school this year. Shawnee Heights Middle School. Yes....middle school! She is in 7th grade and LOVING it!!!
I will blog more soon......really too much hasnt been going on lately...and I am OK with that!!!!!
Love,
The Taliaferros!
