Spiders and Football

I really don't have much to talk about. Everything is going well with everyone at school. Morgan missed three days of school already. She always gets sick at the beginning of school; this just came a little earlier than usual. She needs to drink more water! This week will be a little busier for me in the classroom. I will be teaching all the science lessons this week! I am excited. I will also have my first observation from my clinical supervisor on Friday. I am a little nervous about that, but at least I will get practice all week before she comes. Mark is still really enjoying his job. He will be on his own within the next couple of weeks. He is learning a lot.

We have had more spiders in Texas this summer than I ever remember. Everyone I talk to is having trouble with spiders, especially black widows. This picture below is a garden spider I saw on our fence today. It is huge! It has a locust in it's web. You can click on the picture to make it larger - you will be able to see it's legs wrapped around the locust. It is wrapping it with it's silk. It was really cool to watch it for a while.

In more exciting news, the NFL has started!! I didn't get to see the Bronco game today - they don't always air in Texas, but they had a very exciting win. Jason Elam kicked the winning field goal in the last second of the game, literally. It was sweet. I will have to watch those hightlights on Sportscenter. Go Broncos, we are 1-0!
