June 2, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Recently, we’ve been hearing about all these teachers becoming new parents, but do we know anything about their newborns? Here’s some information about them to keep you updated about who these babies are. Jack Collins was born on August 8, 2009 at 8:01 am.

He is able to sleep soundly with a few outbreaks once in a while; not too long ago, according to Mrs. Collins, “he wanted to party at... [Read the full story]

Iron Man 2, the first big summer blockbuster of 2010, came out on May 7. This movie continues from the end of the first Iron Man film, in which Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) unveiles himself as the man of metal and savior of the people.
