Dinner with Friends

We went over to our friends (Teresa and Michelle) for dinner the other night. We had a great time. Michelle is a chef, and she made the most wonderful enchilladas, beans and rice for us. And she also made the worlds best guacamole...well second best compared to my Dad! :-) Here are some pics of the evening. Teresa was the main photographer, so there isn't one picture of her on here.....lol

The kiddos eating picnic style. They just moved into this apartment so they didn't have a diningroom table yet. I don't think anyone minded. It was kind of cozy actually.

Labor Day

Caitlin looking very suspicious, about to give me a big kiss.

So, about the pictures I've been hoarding! Here they are. Not going to leave a lengthy blog here. Hope you all enjoy!

School...Work...Family

All dressed up! They were very excited to get the plaid skirts this year.

Love this picture! They both look so grown up!

Little sisters came to see them off on the first day of school.

Morgan is ready to start her day! She was very happy! She got new glasses too!

Madilyn looking very grown up! Little more reserved in her excitement than Morgan.

As some of you may know, I've started back to college. I'm taking 3 classes, and they're all online. Algebra is proving to be my weakest subject. I have to spend a lot of time working on problem after problem in order to actually get it! I also still work at the Jr. High full time. I am still enjoying working with special needs children, however the occasional heartbreak can be very draining. I am learning to balance home, work and school. It may take a couple weeks, but I am sure I'll get there.

The girls are back in school and have had a wonderful first week. As you can see, I've included some pictures of their first day. When the girls were younger I couldn't even fathom them being in the 3rd and 5th grades, so this is a pretty big shock for me. It's hard to think that Madilyn only has one year of Park Row left after this year. Then my baby will be in Jr. High!!!!!! I'm sure she'll be more prepared than myself. Morgan is getting used to the big girl responsibilities that come with being a third grader. This is a big transition year for her. We are hoping for a very successful school year for all of us!

Ok, Ok...I've been sucked in!

For those who don't MySpace or Facebook, I am setting up a blog. I have had complaints that I am hoarding pictures. I am not hoarding them, I just chose to put them on MySpace. It is going to take me a while to figure this whole thing out. So bear with me and I'll do my best. I will try and notify everyone via email like Wendy and Nicole do when I post a new blog.

Here's to blogging!
