Annual Special Ed Luncheon

Today we had our annual West Clinton Elementary special ed team luncheon. We all met at Steve's ( principal) house and ate Applebee's for lunch. Bonnie was the only one who was unable to come. We missed you Bonnie. Since having Cooper I don't get out much. It was nice to visit with friends and see little Laney again. I'm so lucky to work with such fun people. Although it will be very hard to leave Cooper, it will be nice to get back to my routine at work soon.
Hear are some pictures from our luncheon.

Brooke (resource teacher) and I both recently had babies. Her little girl's name is Laney. Isn't she adorable. Twice the size as Cooper and just a month older.

Krista(behavior unit teacher) opening her gift with Diane (assistant principal) watching.
