Happy Halloween - 2013

By
It stormed last night, and rained all day, and then the rain let up for just long enough to let us trick-or-treat tonight!  It was wet, but at least it wasn't freezing this year!  Leah went as Super Girl, and Wyatt was a fox.  Wyatt was so funny - he walked by himself carrying his giant pumpkin almost the entire time we were trick-or-treating, making growling noises and pausing every several houses or so to examine the contents of his bucket.  They both had a great time hanging out with their friends and we are very glad that the storms held off until late!

Greetings friends, Thanks to all your prayers and support over these last months, my job search is finally over.  It ended where it began, in the principal's office at Marian High School, a Catholic high school in Mishawaka, IN, about 5 minutes from our house. I will be teaching 11th and 12th grade English-- 4 sections of honors Junior composition, and 1 Senior world literature course.  Both Nicole and I are very excited about this opportunity, as we will now be on the same schedules with breaks and will, of course, have the summers off to travel and visit all of you, our family and friends. I am observing the teacher who is resigning over the next week, and I will begin on my own Monday, November 3, just in time for Nikki to go into labor, necessitating my finding a sub for a week or so?!  Oh well, what can you do? Thanks again to all of you who have prayed earnestly that this challenging time would pass.  We are truly blessed by all of you.

Persuasive Essays

By
My sixth grade class has been working on persuasive essays this quarter, and one of their first assignments was to write a persuasive piece on what Mr. and Mrs. Dainty should name their baby! They worked in partners, and they got to choose either a girl's name or a boy's name. Their responses were quite interesting and they have certainly given us some chuckles. Here are some of the highlights. (Spelling and grammar errors have been left in for comedic purposes.) Most Unique Supporting Details "Isabella is a perfect name because Queen Isabella helped supply Colombus for his trip across the sea. When we were younger we wished that there were famous people with our names. Many people may think Isabella is a weird name, but we think it is very beautiful." "I picked the name Tera because it is easy to spll , and Tera sownds like she will be smart like her mother. Her mother is so smarte . And she will want to be a techer like her."

Here She Is!

Here are the latest "pictures" of our little one on the way. Baby Dainty weighed in at just under a pound and she is growing well. The ultrasound technician was fairly certain that we are having a little girl, but then again, we could be surprised in a few months! In which case we decided we would merely paint tiny mustaches on all the ladybugs in the nursery to make it more suitable for a boy. That would work, right? She might be a thumb-sucker already judging by this first picture!
