With my gal, Sara McManus, a partner in crime from the Social Studies department at Shorecrest. She took really good care of me while I was pregnant, giving me special teas and other maternity indulgences.

This is my good friend, Maija, my classroom neighbor and Social Studies guru. She gave me tons of help and time my first year teaching at Shorecrest.

My mom and I got to wear funny sashes.

These are some pretty exciting names! Thanks for your input. How does one choose?
Three-hundred pound girl, huh? I think someone might be able to get a little closer.
Still waiting for the baby...

Great work, Johanna! And thank you from Edison in advance that you did not name him Von Thunen, I'm quite sure! ;) Can't wait to see you guys and meet him.
