Family Happenings

Things are going well for Noah at school. He just received his first 6 week report card and he made 3 A's and 2 B's. I'm so proud of him. He is having so much fun this year. This weekend is his school's Fall Festival. I'm taking Thursday off to cook for the Bake Sale!

I'm continuing to have almost constant headaches. So I'm really not getting a lot done other than work and taking care of the family. I have an appointment in 3 weeks to see a new physician and I'm hoping that will bring so relief.

I recently made an apple pie that was very good. I seem to always have trouble with pie crust but this one was not a typical pie crust and it turned out well. I will post the recipe tomorrow since I don't have it with me at the moment.

Family Happenings

Noah and Tom went fishing. They didn't catch anything, but they had a great time. It was on a friend's farm. Noah got chased by a goat and he thought that was exciting!

We've already had open house at Noah's school. We were able to see some of Noah's work and talk with his teacher. The first PTA meeting was that night as well. The first parent/teacher conference is tomorrow. Noah's teacher has been teaching for 16 years. There are only 23 students in his class this year. She is new to our school but she says things have been great.

Family Happenings

We went on a short vacation to Nashville. It was wonderful! Noah had so much fun swimming, goofing off and exploring. He also loved the water park. Fun stuff. Wednesday he has a short orientation for school and then believe it or not, Friday is his first full day back at school for the year. Fourth grade here we come!!!!

The one sad event, the husband of one of my best friends died Friday. The funeral was yesterday. Please say a prayer for Becca and the children, Jessica and Drake.

This Week at Our House

First, let me thank you all for praying. No more nightmares this week! I'm so thankful.

We saw Journey to the Center of the Earth. Noah loved the 3-D effects. And it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I'm not a scary movie type person.

Noah lost a tooth yesterday.

This Week at Our House

Not much was happening at our house this week. I guess we've hit the lazy dog days of summer. Since I don't really have much to report on the family I thought I'd leave you with a tip for your family. The home is so important - I believe as women we are called to make a home that is a retreat for those we love. I look forward to finding tips to help me create such a home. So here is one for you.

Hang a bulletin board above your washing machine filled with pictures of family and friends. Their faces will brighten your day as they remind you that you're loved and lighten their load as you pray for them.
