Happy Memorial Day!

How is your Monday going? What have you done this weekend? Ru and I have worked on so many projects around the house, getting ready for Shmu. I'll take pictures and show you our work sometime this week. Today, we're going to Vejar to pack some things up and take them home. I think we'll stop at Yogurtland with my family!  Yum! :)

As you enjoy being home today, remember why we have the day off. We are supposed to remember those who have fought and died for our country. We also remember the sacrifices of all the family members who let their loved ones go off to war or be in the military. 

I know you appreciate the little things you have in life and that makes me proud of you. Reading about Phillip losing his eyesight really helps remind us of all the things we can be thankful for, even though we can always find things we wish were different or better. 

Hope you have a great day! I'm off to work! 

Accomplishing my goal!!

I set a goal today to post and here I am! Rudy finished his test and thinks he did well! I'm glad that's over! Now no more school for him until July! Yeah, a month and a half off! We just got back from voting. Have your parents? 

What do you think will happen in The Cay? Will Phillip and his mother safely arrive in Miami? We will continue reading tomorrow! :)

Right now, Ru and I are going to eat a pizza and watch our shows with our ice cream! :)

Hope you're having a good night and getting all your homework done WELL!!! :)

Love, 

Mrs. Martin

Wow!!! We are so happy!!

Hey M-Team, this is Rudy. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! I was shocked to see all of the gifts you bought for Shmu! Mrs. Martin's car was packed full of loot! We had to walk up and down the stairs like 10 times to bring stuff in our house! You and your families are very generous. I can't thank you enough. Shmu got hooked up beyond belief! 

Another thing that is cool to see is that you know how much you mean to Mrs. Martin and in turn how much she means to you also.  She really loves you guys. Thank you for all of the kind words, cards, and gifts. They were all very thoughtful and greatly appreciated!

You guys rock. Seriously. Thank you!  

-Rudy

P.S. I'll come see you before the end of the school year to thank you in person. That is if you don't mind me coming to your classroom? 

Ok, M-team, Now, this is Mrs. Martin. 

I am still stunned by what happened yesterday! What a  great surprise and what an amazing afternoon of love and generosity. I LOVE Shmu's things!!!!!!!! The dining room table is filled with all the things and I've been busy all morning writing thank you notes to you all! I can't believe how many wonderful things Shmu has now! :) Thank you for your generosity and for celebrating yesterday, with me! Shmu was awake and kicking most of the time! It was so cool, too, because I've been to many showers, but this one was the first where I was celebrating MY baby!!!!!!!!! Wow!!! 

I love you, I love you, I love you! Thank you!!!!!! And I can't wait to spend the gift cards, too! :) This is so much fun! 

Hope you have a great weekend. Post a reply about what you're doing, ok? :)

See you Monday, kids! 

Love,

Mrs. Martin & Shmu! :)
