share to pinterest tuesday july 10 2012 holy moly oct 11 april 12 update well it certainly has been a long time since i ve been around this here neck of the woods there are a lot of things to catch up on since my last post in october i once had a goal to blog more frequently but now i realize that kind of goal is not realistic for me i find that i am pretty good about blogging in the summer but not so much during the school year so today s post if more of an update of what s been going on in the lorenz world since this past october in october we started fostering dogs as a way to interview for a new addition to our family we had gone back and forth on whether or not we were really ready for a second dog so fostering seemed like a good way to introduce ourselves and lucy to the idea of having a another fur child in the house we had harvey a whippet for a bit before luke s uncle adopted him in november we knew right away that harvey was not the dog for us but we are happy to see him in a good home harvey was adopted the day before thanksgiving and we were already lined up to take in another foster dog the day after thanksgiving in the 24 hour period where we were down to a single dog lucy moped around the house and seemed to really miss harvey then we met kale we were a bit nervous about bringing kale home kale is a great dane pit bull mix and since neither of us had much experience with the pit bull breed we weren t sure how kale would be in our home luckily kale turned out to be a wonderful dog and meshed well with lucy kale is about 4 or 5 years old and we fostered him until march more on his adoption later in december lucy turned 1 year old and we had a great time celebrating the holidays with our families january was pretty uneventful and in february we made it up to crosslake with luke s family and some of luke s sister s friends since they shut down the water during the winter we had managed to get a living social coupon for two discounted nights plus a food voucher we managed to keep ourselves very entertained human curling was probably the highlight of the trip march was a pretty big month in our world it included a casino night where i came out with 1 more than i left with it was pretty exciting i had gambling and loosing money so when we found the 1 tables i jumped on them and was able to play more than 4 hands another amazing part about march was that kale got an application for adoption we had been considering keeping kale but we wanted to give others a chance first once the application came in and i started to respond to the emails the potential adopter was asking i started to cry frequently at that point luke and i decided that if this didn t work out for kale to be adopted by this other family that we would officially make him a part of the lorenz family luckily for us the family who was interested lived in canada and since the rescue we were fostering for does not adopt out of the country they were unable to pursue him any longer that night we sent the coordinator an email letting her know of our intentions and by the end of the week he was officially ours while there are still sometimes when we realize life would be a lot easier with one dog we are so happy that he is ours forever old man kale monster is ours and our lucy goose couldn t be happier to have a brother also at the end of march beginning of april we found out that we would be welcoming a niece or nephew into our family in december we re pretty excited for luke s sister and her husband and are looking forward to having a baby to practice on before we decide to add some non furchildren to our own brood in the next few years april also brought on the time of year that all teachers in my district loath this is the time of year that probationary teachers such as myself find out whether or not they have been pink slipped or get to stay on for the next year last year i was pink slipped until i was able to re interview for my job this year when my principal pulled me into her office i was nervous but that all went away when she said that she was able to retain a position for me for next year i was pretty much reminded by her that we are overstaffed in english but thank goodness for the fact that i am almost done with my reading license program update to be continued posted by katy lou at 1 32 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday october 21 2011 thank goodness for mea when i think back to mea weekend as a kid i remember being excused from school a couple days early by my parents and then we scooted up to grand marais for some fall hiking and relaxation this was before we had our cabin up there so we always stayed at the same hotel in the same room and sneaked moose in over the balcony years later we would find out that the management knew that we were doing that and just chose to never say anything about it to us to us kids the over sized hot tub was amazing and we would spend hours each night in there swimming around eventually my parents sold the old cabin in mcgregor and we bought a new one in grand marais so now there is no sneaking in dogs or wrinkly hot tub fingers and we go up there for more than just mea weekend we miss you moosie now i m on the other side of mea weekend as a teacher i could go to the convention that is held on the thursday and friday but i choose to enjoy the long weekend and boy did i ever need it right about now this year i am teaching two completely new preps english 11 and read 180 a reading strategies class i m working on my reading license so reading skills and strats are starting to become my niche at my school while i love my job nearly every day i am there the stretch of sept 6 oct 20 without any days off starts to take a toll last year i was busy but this year i m feeling kind of pulled in a million directions i agreed to take part in a group that meets 1x month on mondays which focuses on collaboration for interventions in literacy at the secondary levels it s an additional 2 hours after school on those days plus a couple of all day meetings scattered throughout the year on tuesdays i am still teaching in the adult basic education diploma program until 8pm now on wednesdays i ve added my reading licensure classes which go until 7 20 each week and then there are the thursday conferences calling times staff development hours which occur about once a month as well until 6 30 by friday i am beat i continue to work for my parents on the weekends both saturdays and sundays so i really feel like i am working 8 9 days a week i made the decision to take off from my parents work over mea so that i could have a true weekend off and boy am i glad that i did that i think that mea means even more to me now as a teacher and it s time that i can use to catch up on my social life sleep and my mental health this year is even more great because i get to spend the days with lucy while luke works i also actually have time to get some stuff done around the house and try out some new recipes luke gave me a sewing machine for my birthday so perhaps i ll even squeeze in a sewing project mmmmm crafts yesterday was the most amazing start to the long weekend dog park pumpkin spice lattes shopping at target for some reason shopping at target just always makes me feel better and getting some chores around the house done at a relaxing pace today has been spent so far catching up on grey s anatomy and drinking coffee while lounging with miss lucy she even let me paint her nails to match mine pretty in sparkles here s looking forward to the rest of a relaxing weekend and coming back to school refreshed and ready to go posted by katy lou at 11 51 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 4 2011 newest family member we ve decided that luke must be some sort of reincarnation of saint francis or something because he seems to find abandoned animals all the time in 2006 he found snakey the redtailed columbian boa constrictor in our apartment in 2009 he discovered darla the guinea pig outside of our apartment flash forward to last week and we can now add another creature who has found his her way into our ever growing family meet trogdor lucky for trogdor we already have spinelli and anything a parakeet could ever need so he definitely found his way into the right home luke spotted him in our backyard and after confirming that it was not spinelli i made a beeline to her cage when luke said that there was a yellow parakeet in the yard to make sure that it wasn t her we managed to lure him with seeds and a perch and trogdor and spinelli have been bonding ever since this little budgie is also much cooler than spinelli spinelli has never been a very people friendly bird but trogdor will let us take him out of the cage and he ll hang out on our shoulders and not immediately fly away like spinelli will i wonder what we ll find next posted by katy lou at 2 27 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels bird home parakeet pets pictures spinelli thursday
