October Fun

I love the month of October! It seems there are so many activities to do, there's a crispness in the air and the foilage is beautiful. Today, I went to Old Fashioned Days at UBC. It was so nice to see many friends from my college days and to catch up on all the "gossip". I was informed that my 25th college reunion is coming up. Where has time gone? I don't feel my age, although I'm sure I look it. I guess having a 6 year old keeps me acting younger...I have to in order to keep up with all her energy:) Now to make plans for the pumpkin patch and get some apples and pumpkins. I just love Fall!

1st Grader

Ciara went back to school as a...1st Grader! It seems like yesterday she was just in preschool. I've always heard that time seems to go faster as we get older; I think that is true. Ciara is in a bigger school this year and now will eat at school. She thinks that is pretty neat. They have a system at this school that all the children have money in their accounts and that is how they pay for the meals. Ciara has a pin number she'll type in when she "pays" for her meal and this will take the amount out of the account. She was a little nervous at first, but I told her the lunch ladies will help out until they memorize the number. Real techno, huh?


Such a poser

Last Week

Wow! Where has summer gone? There's not much left and school is around the corner. This is Ciara's last week of freedom for school begins on Monday. She is so excited and so am I...I will get one whole week to myself. Whoo-Hoo! Thankfully, I was offered a teaching position and will start on August 22ND. I won't be at Fortville where I have been for the last 18 years; that will be a major change. But, I know the Lord will help me through this change and I consider this another adventure in my life.

I'm Baacckk!!!

It's been a long time since I've taken the time to blog and I plan on doing a lot more. Sometimes life seems like it's going by so fast and I just don't have time to do the things I enjoy. I think it is time to stop, relax and enjoy each day...and blog, blog, blog:)

New Year Resolution

The year 2010 was such a busy year! I am hoping that this new year will be more relaxed and I can spend more time on my blog. So...come and visit and you should see more content in a timely manner:)

Kindergarten Day

It's official. My baby girl is now in elementary school. Kindergarten to be precise. Where, oh where has time gone? It seems like yesterday I was getting up in the middle of the night for feedings. Now, she is going to Kindergarten. Ciara loves school so far and I pray that will always be so. Took a few pictures of the special milestone in her life. Believe it or not, I didn't even cry!

Victorian Tea House

On Saturday, Mom, Sharra, Danessa and I visited a lovely tea house called The Ruby Pear. It was such fun to have a "girl's day out". We had a yummy chicken soup, pecan chicken salad tea sandwich, scone, cookie and chocolate covered strawberry. Delicious! Of course we had tea to drink and we chose cinnamon spice. It was actually good since I am not a tea drinker. We had such a good time and decided we need to do this more often. So, whenever Sharra and her family come down we will have to visit a Tea House:)
