Dumped my pictures

Just went through my pictures on my digital, looking for some things to post here to catch up on the last couple of months, but there's not a lot I can post. Lots of pictures from a field trip to the apple orchard... some from a "show and tell" visit from one of my kid's grandparents-- they drive a merch semi for a race car driver... not a lot there of MY kiddos or my life outside the classroom. Think that shows pretty well where I've been. I did find this one of Tyler from his first day of preschool:



And, this one from Thomas' first day of 3rd grade (he started the week before us):



Gotta love the snaggle-tooth look... he lost yet another after this DURING a festival parade-- while on a float! LOL He's always got such great stories in regards to losing his teeth. :)

and then... this one was from that same bunch, and just begs the question-- what is wrong with them anyway? LOL



IN AWESOME NEWS...
Thomas will be getting baptized sometime within the next couple of weeks. :) He has started the process at church-- all on his own-- spoke up in church in his class. He is ready. We worked on some of the packet they gave him from church and had a looonnnnggg talk about it. God has His hand on this child. I am so humbled by it-- I truly am. His understanding of our Lord is astounding. Proud is not the word... blessed is much closer... God is so good.

To get a little selfish in my thoughts... Now that I've had a nap every day for the past three days... I find myself longing to reconnect with myself. I miss scrapping, but didn't know it... I miss sleeping-- did know that-- miss a clean house and even cooking. Is it possible to do it all? Doesn't seem so, but I sure would like to make it fit. I miss music... and I need to go out on a date. I need a haircut-- well, a makeover really-- LOL... you get the point. Don't feel much like a girl these days-- that would be nice. :)

On the health-front-- still in limbo. I have discovered that when you are in constant motion, pains are not as noticeable. They're not better, just ignored. Good thing? Bad thing? Not sure...

On a cool note... this was so awesome... triple over-time, people...



Who knew I like football? ha....
