Fun in the Flowers!

So cute! My two sweet little girls!

Preschool Begins Again!

Well, I am a few weeks behind, but wanted to post a few pictures from the past few weeks. Lucy and Myra both went back to preschool. It was touch and go with Myra at first, even a few other kids dropped out, but she loves it now! Word on the street is that they blow bubbles first thing in the morning! How can any kid (or adult) not love that. Lucy adjusted quickly to Ms. Donna and Ms. Christy. She also has some of her old pals in her class, including her buddy Anna W and Ella Grace. Yes, the daughter of the hockey player! (-: Then she has some new kids as well--a new buddy, Alexandra. We are just so amazed and proud of the progress she is making!

October is Almost Here--And That Means Christmas!

Ok, so most of you know I love Christmas...no, I mean really love it. I begin listening to Christmas music (mostly instrumental, at least until the 15th! ha!) on November 1st. But as we were out and about yesterday, we noticed a few stores, BJs and the Dollar Tree, with Christmas decorations, lights, trees, and more out already. Not even October 1st, and Christmas things are out. Wow!

A nice weekend so far. Yesterday Kerry and I both got out for a run, then we went over to the Dam. Hiked down to where water is released from Falls Lake. The water comes rushing out at such a high rate that tons of folks take kayaks and ride on the rapids. The girls liked watching them, especially when they rolled over! Today we went for our first family portrait (it turned out so cute!), then Trader Joe's, and lunch at Red Lobster. Fun times!

First presidential debate the other night. Loved hearing 'Granddaddy' McCain talk to Obama like he was a little boy. Come on, seriously--people think this type of 'talking down' is what we need in this 21st Century? Imagine McCain talking to Iran like that--we would be nuked for sure!

Arrrr You Reading This Post?

So yesterday was talk like a Pirate Day. I figured I would check to see how much of a pirate I am...And I do like my booty! Or other's booty! Ha!

You Are 50% Pirate

Garrrr, yer a true pirate down to yer bones. Yer an originial sea dog, an' ye certainly have earned yer sea legs. No one be goin' to accuse ye o' bein' a landlubber. Ye got yer eye on the prize, an' yer willin' to go pillagin' fer some booty.

Would You Make a Good Pirate?

Fall Is Here!

Wow...what a nice change from the summer. We have had some days of mid 70s and lows in the 50s. How nice has this been! Let's just hope it continues. What I like is the ability to just go out and play outside, or go to the playground, or a spontaneous trip to Durant Nature Park, like we did yesterday. And it was so nice--we pretty much had the park to ourselves!

Busy weekend--Lucy has a birthday party today. Tomorrow we will help Kerry's folks with their storage unit-although I do hear Rudino's pizza and some Yuenling may be the compensation!

Bizzzzz--eeee!

Well, I am tired of saying that in every post, but we are sooo busy. As evidenced by my lack of posts this month.

Kerry's folks are in North Carolina officially. They came down last Wednesday and spent their first night in the house Thursday. We went over on Friday to visit, then went back over on Sunday to help hook some equipment up and help unpack. The girls are really going to love having their grandparents close by. They just tore around the house--funny! They even have a whole closet dedicated to their toys. Then Kerry's dad and I went and bought two big screen tvs yesterday. Unfortunately no buy 2 get one free for Chris, but I am definitely excited to go over there to watch some hockey games!

The new job is good as well. It keeps me busy, but I really enjoy the leadership that I receive. Have a staff under me is a new experience as well, but I feel I need this experience to grow professionally as well. In three weeks, I definitely have grown!
