And the ball rolls on....

Yesterday was the last day of soccer for the year. Walter received a participation medal and said in excitement "does this mean I won." He then proudly wore it all day long.
Miss Rose E here made me chuckle in church this morning we sang "Jesus Loves Me" she sang along and then when the song ended and the congregation was quiet she said out loud "lets sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star now."

Walter's Big Adventure


Here he is, ready for his first day of school. He climbed right up into the bus. He was very excited and seemed so grown up! It was hard for Mommy and Daddy to let him get on, even though mommy is a teacher in his classroom. Rose E. misses him while he is off at school and looks forward to his return later in the afternoon on "Walter's bus."

Some of you may be wondering what in the world has happened to me

Well...it has been a very BUSY couple of weeks to say the least! My old supervisor unexpectedly asked if I would be interested in getting back into the classroom (I taught Head Start for almost five years before Walter was born). So, I have been spending countless hours resetting-up my old classroom and meeting with families. The nice thing is that it will be part-time and that Walter will be in my class. Rose E (and Walter when need be) should be able to be with Jeff most of the time too which will also be nice. But phew, talk about never knowing what life will bring and what God's plan is. Class starts on Tuesday so wish us all luck!

In the home front here, of course our kids are still keeping us smiling! Last weekend my mom asked Walter what he thinks Rose E should be for Halloween and he said "maybe she could be a girl king." Oh and Rose E, she is starting the good old stall before bedtime trick, anyway, the other day I was laying her down and she wanted a different stuffed animal, a different blanket, different music and then as I was leaving the room and turning off her light she says "wait I have an idea..... I need a drink of water." Too cute!

And on another note, today at church Jeff's grandpa was complaining of chest pain. So he took him to the emergency room and discovered that he had had a heart attache. His energy is pretty low so he has been sent to Marquette and will have a stress test done tomorrow. So please keep him in your prayers.

A touch of color

No, it can't be already. Fallen leaves and lots of them. We have been noticing lately that a few of the trees around town have changed colors already!
One of my latest project has been to get things ready for a garage sale except for one problem, my price tags have been literally walking away! Oh and speaking of shirts, in the picture above(where Rose E is sitting next to Walter) Rose E is wearing a shirt with strawberries on it and this morning I chuckled a little as I dressed her she looked down and said "oh, I have groceries on mine shirt."

The princess and the pea!

She may be dressed as a princess but we don't dare to call her one lately as for her response is "I'm not a princess I am Rose e" and sometimes she even goes so far as to start crying!
A couple of weeks ago this kid discovered that our sweet peas are edible and man oh man you would think that he discovered gold with how excited he has been over these peas!
