Happy Birthday, Steve!!!

Steve informed me the other day that he was not aware that I had a blog! How is that possible that I would have told everyone else but him? I'm still dubious. Another comment that he made was that he doesn't feel he's mentioned in my blog enough. So this post will be devoted to my wonderful husband, Steve.

Steve's birthday is on Tuesday, and he'll be having his own "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." He'll be going to the Chicago Institute of Art, and a Cubs game at Wrigley Field (and they play the Pirates - his team). He's in Chicago for the International Reading Association's Reading Conference.

UPDATE! Steve made it back fine from Chicago, and he had a good trip. The best day was his birthday. He went to Wrigley field for a Cubs/Pirates game and caught a foul ball! He was very excited. To top it all off, the Pirates won, too! He didn't make it to the art museum, but he did go to Shedd's Aquarium. He said it was awesome.

Just an update:
Steve is teaching 5th grade this year at Fern Creek Elementary. He loves working for the principal that is there, and will stay there next year.

He hasn't had much time to play his guitar lately, but he'll be taking it with him this summer while he's working for Dr. Janet Allen again doing Literacy Institutes. I don't think they're calling them Literacy Institutes this year, though. He will still be training teachers.

Steve has still been finding time to do pottery, however. Here are some pictures of a pit-firing he participated in back in January. . .

These are his pots before firing:

















This is during the firing:














This is as the firing was ending:

And this is what they looked like after the firing:















So now you have an update on Steve. I'm sorry you felt slighted, Honey, and Happy Birthday! =) xoxo
