Back into the swing of things

This past weekend Matt and I went to Waco to see our sweet Traci.  We went out to dinner and to the football game with her.  I so loved being with her.  Her apartment and her room are as neat as a pin, which isn't surprising.  She surprised us and got herself a fire belly toad.  His name is Phelps and the funny thing is he eats crickets and she is scared of them.  She said she didn't think about that when she bought him.  Goof ball.  Except for the heat and the crowds, the game was fun.  Poor SMU didn't have a chance. It felt weird to be wearing a Baylor shirt of all things!

OK, I can be stupid!

Keri surprised us and came home last Thursday.  She also has a pet story.  Ugh!  The ding bat!  She went and bought herself a ten gallon aquarium complete with fish and frogs.  Then she found out the next day she's not allowed to have it so she brought it all home.  I have to admit that I kinda went wild
fixing the dang thing up but I was surprised when she called and said she was bringing home a ten gallon aquarium. I love this picture of Bree and Keri.  They both look so happy.  Love my girls!

Bree has not only one new job but TWO.  Here she is in her new dress that she bought for her new job.  She is so used to wearing black and white at work that I'm sure it's fun for her to wear colors now.  She has had a ball buying new clothes for work. It's so convenient that she has to wear the clothes that the two boutiques sell in order to work.  Oh yeah.  But oh she is a cutie.

We are just praying and holding onto hope that everything will be all right for her.  She is upset and we are upset and I think I am going to have a nervous breakdown. I so want her to be all right and for this all to go away.  I am trying to not get bitter but I am headed that direction.

School is going well for me. I love my class. I have great kids. I don't know if I've ever had such awesome kiddos. I feel very grateful.  I've had fun fixing up my classroom and getting every thing ready. I am pleased with all the goals I accomplished over the summer and my
