GO HOGS GO!!

So, our beloved Airhogs lost last night's game to the Ft. Worth Cats 1-0. It was a great game filled with some awesome plays. While I am sad we didn't win, I am so impressed with our defense. That one run was a homerun. The guys did a great job of fielding and holding the Cats to base hits. WAY TO GO! We have another game tonight. If we win, we are in the playoffs. How cool that would be for a first year team to be in the playoffs!! Great for them and great for GP.
At the game, a man wearing a Cats cap sat down next to us. I said "Hi." He replied, "You're not going to run me off, are you?" "Oh heavens no!!" One thing that I want is for everyone who comes to QTP (Quick Trip Park) is to have a fantastic time and come again. I don't care who you support since we support the same thing - great baseball. We had the best time visiting with him and talking baseball. He seemed to enjoy it to. He did say that he could see how easy it would be to become a Hogs fans. We told him the next game he came to that he needed to get the same seat. He said he would. How fun!!
K was in total heaven being back at the park after a week of no games. He about fell out of Chris's arms when he saw Ace, the mascot. He adores Ace. Luckily, we know Ace and he makes it a point to come to our seats and tell K hi. If they make an Ace stuffed animal, K would truly be the happiest kid on the planet. He also loves going to the kiddie playground. He hasn't gotten the concept that you have to sit before you slide - a work in progress!! His favorite thing is for me to stand at one end of the playset and Chris to stand at the other. He giggles so loudly running from one to the other! We just smile and thank God for this ultimate blessing. I am starting to get emotional about K lately. Maybe it is because I am back at work and see so many kids who didn't get enough while they were growing up. Who knows! maybe it's because he is no longer the youngest at daycare. Who knows! I just am totally in love with my son. How can you ever thank God enough for all that your child is??
I did thank my mom yesterday for expecting me to go to college. I have noticed that so many of my students are afraid to graduate because they do not know what to do. Their parents barely expected them to graduate so who is there to hold up hope for a future? I''ll just add that to my list......

Long time no write!

We had a GREAT summer filled with many firsts: swim lessons, story time, zoo visits, birthday parties, etc.

So what's new with the Teubners? Well, Chris got a new job working fora construction company. He's an estimator and really likes it when it is busy. It has taken him out of town more than his last job but not out of state!! I'm back at my same school. It was hard to come back (why aren't we independantly wealthy yet????) but things are better now that the students are here. K is not longer taking a morning nap. This is great becuase he has started going to bed earlier!! While he used to be a 8 or 8:30 bedtimer, he is now 7 or 7:30. This is great because that give us more time in the evening to keep the house picked up. It isn't not good on nights where we are out around 7 or 7:30. Nothing lilke a cranky little man to ruin a good time! Oh well. His current "new thing" is saying please. In order to say it, he has to scrunch up his face - so cute!! He also is a fan of the word "no" but for him, it is more like "Nawh".

Tonight and tomorrow, we get to go to the Airhogs playoff games - so excited!! Instead of taking a trip this summer, we decided to get season tickets to the Hogs. We have had so much fun!! K really likes going. We're hoping the Hogs stayed in (and win) the playoffs as that will give us more baseball. If you haven't gone, GO!!
