I know it's been way too long when Dave says to me: "Hey, you haven't updated the blog in a really long time". Horrible, I know and I apologize. August flew by without a blink of the eye and these past 3 weeks I have been working or taking a class for the new school. What is probably worse then not blogging is that I haven't taken a single photo this entire time! Again, horrible! So, here I sit. I will briefly update you and then I will promise to be better at this :)
Dave has been working his tail off this past month. He seems to be falling into his role as principal very well. The girls and I went and helped him decorate his new office in August and surprised him with a summer collage of pictures to hang. I think he liked it a lot! He had his in service days with his staff this week and he came home exhausted after talking for hours on end but said that they went well. I helped him get off on the right foot with his staff by making LOTS of banana and zucchini bread for all of them on the first day. Do I even need to mention his excitement for the opening game of the Coug Football season? I didn't think so :) He is heading over the mountains in the morning!
As I mentioned earlier I have been working quite a bit as well these last 3 weeks or so. I had to go to 4 LID days this year since I am opening a new school and we adopted new reading curriculum so I had training for that, I had to open all 65 of my personal boxes and put everything away....you get the idea! Other then working I have been trying to just enjoy the girls and doing as much with them as possible.
Taylor is on the countdown for Kindergarten! Every morning she wakes up and lets me know how many more days until she gets on the bus. I so love her enthusiasm for life right now! She rides her bike with passion these days, has honestly collected 200 or more shells and rocks this summer and got her own library card!
Maddie is loving life as usual! She has begun to show us quite the attitude over the summer so she is keeping us on our toes :) But just as quickly as she gets upset she is over it in a flash! Maddie continues to be the mother hen in our family. She lines up her 15 or so babies every day and plays and visits with each one of them. She will make a great mom someday! Maddie starts preschool on Wednesday and is very excited about being able to spend her days with her friend Kaylin and Macie and their mommy Krista.
I still can't believe that Taylor will be in school and that Maddie is very close behind her.
Dave's Grandma passed away last month after a wonderful life of 99 years! We had a really nice memorial for her at Carolyn's house and celebrated all the great qualities of Grandma Frosty! My Grandma had her first round of Chemo last week and I am so happy for her because it all went well and she had no sickness or any other reactions to it! She is still having some other issues but those too seem to be getting back under control. She is extremely tired but happy that all is going well so far.
I will leave you with the 3 pictures that I took today! Taylor got her hair cut and as you can see she got a lot cut off. She has been wanting her hair really short for a while now and I finally caved in- I think it is actually quite cute! And she is very proud of it. The last picture is of Maddie (she will kill me when she gets older and sees all these naked pictures of her!). The girls have been wanting to help with the dishes the last few weeks (yea!) and they are actually pretty good at it. Taylor was tired tonight so she gave up fast and Maddie went into the bathroom and came back out in her birthday suit! It cracked me up because she was so intent on scrubbing the dinner plates :)
I promise to be back soon! ~H
