A lot of changes!

This fall has brought a lot of changes in the Tydlacka house.  In my last post about the beach, I didn't mention what I was up to.....and that was looking at Kindergarten job postings in Loudoun County.  I have had an itch to go back to teaching recently.  If you had said to me in June that in August I'd be job hunting and interviewing, I would have said you were crazy, but alas you never know how life may change.

By the time we left the beach on Saturday,  I had 2 interviews set up for Kindergarten when I returned on Monday.  I accept a full time teaching job (AM and PM Kindergarten) and couldn't be happier.  It's A LOT of work, and I now see my children less, but they have adjusted great. Brian has taken on lots of new roles with getting the kids ready for school/preschool and getting them when he can in the afternoon.  We also rely a lot on the help of neighbors, friends, and a nanny... it seems to be working out well.

Brian finished his 1st triathlon this fall!  We are so proud of his accomplishment!  Go Daddy!

WHAT IS ALLIE DOING?

Allie started 2nd grade.  She's growing up faster than I like, but we couldn't be happier with the young lady she's becoming.  School started off great for Allie.  She's also doing Girl Scouts again this year, as a brownie (I'm still co-leader), and has done fall softball (Brian's coaching), a pitching clinic and an engineering robotics class, which she gets to build and design.  She loves all her activities.

Allie also did her 2nd triathlon this September.  The girl is athletic and competitive.  She's rarely just sitting around. :)
