A Taste of Fall...

I hope tomorrow, September 1st, marks the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall. We've had some Fall like temperatures this week and it's sure been nice! I'm sure we'll return to the hot dry Arkansas weather soon enough. It's hard to believe it's the end of August already. School is in it's second week and the pages on the calendar are flying off.

Football season is upon us. Can you say..."WOO PIG SOOIE, RAZORBACKS"!

Speaking of football, we've got to get back in the swing of attending local football games this year. My niece made the cheerleading squad for her school. Her first game is tonight. It's been about 6 yrs. since my nephew played football and we followed him every Friday night. Those always make for fun times.

Well, hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!

Our Pets...

I guess I should introduce our pets to you. "Copper" is the bassett hound and "Lady" is the German Shepherd. Copper is almost 6 mo. old. We're not sure of Lady's age but I would guess she's probably about the same age as Copper.

We gained a Tom Cat (Sammy) on Saturday but we've not seen him since we brought him home. My husband carried Sammy home in a box that had to be taped shut part of the way because he kept trying to get out. When we got home he thought he'd let the cat out in the barn so maybe it wouldn't be so scared...but he was out of the box and out of the barn in a flash! I did see Sammy later in the evening in a patch of trees behind the house so I took some food out to him. But we've not seen him at all today. Hopefully Sammy will return to the barn at night to eat. I think someone's trying to tell us something. Because we've not had the best of luck lately with pets.

Well, it's back to work and school on Monday. Hopefully the week will fly by and we can enjoy an extended weekend with Labor Day approaching. Hope everyone has a great Monday!

My big 4 yr. old!

My baby turned 4 years old on Wednesday, Aug. 23rd. We celebrated her birthday tonight with family & friends at a party for her at Sonshine. They were able to play on all the gymnastic equipment and other games. We had a great time! Here is a picture of her at the party.

My older baby started 2nd grade at WES on 8/21/06. She is adjusting to a new school and making lots of new friends. Glad to have the first week behind us! We're all looking forward to the weekend!

Up & Blogging!

This blog thing is new for me so we'll see how it goes. I love to read blogs of other people I know so I hope you enjoy reading mine. This is a recent picture of my family on vacation in Ft. Morgan, AL. We went with two couples from church and their children. There was also three other couples there too that we knew (and their children). All the kids played together literally from daylight to dark! We had a wonderful time with our friends!

I'll try to write more on future posts. That's it for now!
