I know we never ever post, but since I am home early from work and Levi is on his way home I decided a quick post wouldnt hurt.

Levi has been very busy at work. Snow season is coming up so it means lots and lots of stuff to do. He went to Eddie's wedding a few weeks ago, and really did have the time of his life. He's insisting we go back to Canada next summer with everyone from the wedding so that I can meet everyone and so that he can enjoy the great time again.

I am in my last semester of school before I start my student teaching. The two classes I am taking are: teaching students with mild/moderate disabilities, and Communication, language and speech. I am learning a lot but, I am excited to get into a classroom in November. I'm not sure if we updated about this, but I got promoted at my job in May. I am now a "LEAD behavior tutor" Lots more reponsibililty and a whole lot more clients I am working with. I have a total of 10 kids on my caseload. They are most wide variety of kids ever! Some non-verbal, some verbal. 1 deaf. the range from ages 3 to 11, and their abilities are completely diverse. They keep me on my toes, since I am now training the tutors who have to work with them. I really do love my job, and I will be sad when I have to cut back when I start my student teaching in the fall.

In other news, Levi and I are loving Auburn. Although we both have a 30 minute drive to work everyday, we both believe its totally worth it. We have yet to figure out the situation with our propane tank, so we have been cooking on our camping stove for the last month. That means no oven! its been nuts but we are surviving. We've been spending lots of time in old town auburn at the shops and great restaurants. This couldn't be more perfect for us!
I will leave you with a few pictures.


Ari is seriously the biggest mama's boy ever. haha. this is how he sleeps before we get into bed.


This is the view from our back porch. Something like this might have been posted before, but we can never resist another chance to show off.


Before we moved, Levi came home one day to find Ari's head stuck on this ziptie jar.. Yes.. hes nuts.


Zoe loves Levi and Popsicles!

Hi Levi and Chelsey,

So MY solution is to just call another Propane company and have them install their own dumb tank then you roll the existing one down the hill making it someone else's problem. Going to be a cold winter if you don't get that fixed soon! Nice pictures though. I found a cat in our backyard once with a Cream of Chicken soup can on its head. Don't know how it breathed until I pulled it off.

Way to go, girl, on the update. I died laughing when I saw Ari's head stuck in that jar.

I hate it when my oven doesn't work. We had that problem in Boston. Isn't your landlord supposed to take care of that?
