October!

Well.. Old Fashioned is thru. Somehow this year it just wasn't a lot of fun. Maybe I'm getting burnt out on OFD. After all it's been close to twenty years. Anyway. We are starting October. My classroom is freshly decorated, (last week) and we have learned 13 letters and sounds so far. We are halfway there! Yay! I am surviving, how I'm not sure, but I am. Well... Have a wonderful week, month...... etc!

Fall!!!

One of my Piano students gave me some apples, and that same weekend I baked an apple pie! Yummy!!!! It's getting to that time of year! I love it! Fall... Time for apples, pumpkins, hayrides and hoodies!

The absolutely beautiful sky tonight. God is a master painter!And the picture does not do it justice...

Pictures from Camp!!!!

Evie and I teaching.

This is one of the first times that I have had a chance to go online and post pictures and things from CYM camp. These kids were angels! So much fun! I really truly enjoyed it! Evie and I had a blast!

Sooner!!!

This is a video of the guy who did the puppet for my kid's services. Even though I wrote the script, I never knew what he was going to say. In this particular video, he cracked me up so hard it was difficult to play the piano.
Now my next thing is starting Kindergarten... we start in just a few days. Wow. How time does fly. I'll have to post pictures later of my classroom... but until then :) Have fun!

Gearing UP!!!

Well, I'm gearing up for another camp. I'm getting clothes ready, mentally writing puppet skits, thinking of how and what to pack.... YAY! I'm excited to add a puppet this time, Now I just have to figure out his place in the service. What fun! I'm hoping to find out soon what I'm going to be doing at school this year. So far, that knowledge has eluded me. So. I'm working more hours this week and trying to get all of these mental gymnastics done. Plus making time for a date this weekend "wink ;)" I'm excited tho. Teaching kids is one of my favorite best things to do! Definately more fun than working.... Anyway. I probably won't have a bunch of time to get on here, not that I've been doing that good this year anyway! But I hope that if you think of it you will remember me in prayer. Teaching young ones is a great responsibility, and I can only hope and pray that something I say or do will help them along their spiritual path. I'll try to post some pictures when I return!!! Have a wonderful week!

Hot! and Content?

Hot... Hot...Hot! What a grumpy hot day! To tell you all the truth, I'm quite ready for this summer to end. I'm ready for fall... for crisp red apples, really ripe tomatoes, for cooler temperatures, hoodies and hot chocolate! I'm ready for some of my friends to return, to get back into a routine, to start living a normal life again. Why is it that we as humans tend to always want something else? When it's winter we eagerly anticipate spring, and then when it starts getting hotter we long for the snow again. We long to be with friends, but after being with them for so long... we long to be alone again. Wow when you look at life that way, it seems like Paul had a reason to joyfully say that he had learned to be content in whatsoever state he was in. Looking over my life, I know that I definately need hep in that area. Help me Lord.. to learn true contentment. Contement in my place in life with you, yet ever striving forward.

Return from Vacation!

My Current Family... and Hopeful Family????

Well, THIS time I actually had a vacation. Well... Sorta :) We got to travel down to Sam's for a few days. Such fun! We were there over my birthday which was fun. I got to see some of my family, whom I haven't seen in over a year. We ate at the "original" KFC... don't try it. It wasn't worth it. I got to go on a birthday morning date with Sam, and we ladies... Mom, Mary, Mom Nelson and I... had a fun day of shopping. Mom Nelson had made me a new skirt, and Mom bought me one.. so Two new skirts for my birthday.. not bad :) We came home on the fourth, and had some fun watching the various fireworks displays as we traveled the roads. All in all not a bad vacation!
