Well, can you believe October is upon us...and a terrible one it has been. It started okay...with a last minute camping trip with Memaw and Papa. Which turned into a week long vigil with Granny in the hospital. Thank goodness for the Montessori school where the boys could go to school while I sat with Granny. Days I can never get back and hours that will forever be etched in my soul. She is at the feet of her Lord, whole and happy and not hurting any more. But I miss her terribly. We made the trip to Pearsall to take her home for the final time...the third trip this year. Wow... It has been a sad year...

We took the boys to visit the Alamo and to see the movie at the IMAX while we were down that way. It was fun. "Davy Crockett" loved it of course! We are now the proud owners of two "toon skin hats" as little man calls them. His rarely leaves his little red head. :) Crazy kid.

Brian and I spent the weekend trying to catch up around the house and get back into a routine. That was harder than we imagined.

He worked on his bird house - it really looks nice. He is so proud. He gets the boys helping him. It should be up soon. We took down the old falling apart ones a few months back to put up my clothes line...Granny's clothes line...

Big praise today - I completed my first teaching class - schools and society. My semester is over on the 31st so it is just in time. Whew! I have completed 25 CU's over the past 6 months - 8 classes so far. I hope to get done with everything I need to begin my student teaching next fall. Although that poses a whole new set of issues. Like where the boys will go during that time. I have checked into many schools in the area. I think we are going to try to get them in at one of the local Christian schools. I have heard such great things about it and the tuition is not out of sight. The classes are small - 12 max. I like that. And they can attend at the same school. I have to sign them up in Feb. Open enrollment begins March 1 - Pray we get a spot for each of them.

Well, all for now I suppose...
