Fast Forward to Now...

Oh my goodness, I don't need to be told how awful I have been with blogging this past month. I already know and just feel terrible about it. So, with that said, I will do a quick re-cap of all that has been going on this past month... or so.


To begin, I started a new job! I don't think I have mentioned that yet? I am now working with a group called Parents as Teachers. I work with preschool children and their families providing resources and fun activities centered around the child's development along with preparing them for school. I have ten families that I am working with and visit with each once a month in their home. I am SO excited to have this opportunity. It has been the perfect fit- allowing me to use my teaching background plus I have a very flexible schedule that still allows me to stay at home with Mae. This has been great for Mae as well. She now has a new BFF named Tammy. Tammy takes care of Mae when I work and this has been good for Mae now to have another caregiver that she is comfortable and happy to be with.

At the end of October we made a trip to Birmingham. Having the time with family and friends was much needed and so nice. Mae really loved the time with her cousins- especially trick-or-treating with them (Mae is the cute ladybug).




Napping with Buddy.


Learning how to play the piano.


Meeting new friends.





I also had a wonderful time. We are looking forward to being back there for Christmas... which isn't far away, by the way (writing this makes me panic thinking of all that needs to get done before then).

The hunting season has also kept us busy. After much time and effort Dennis got the big one! We are all proud.



Hunting season brings many visitors and house guests. Our favorite being Uncle Dale and his friend Chris. We love company- especially family company. Anytime I can convince family to come all the way to South Dakota is very exciting. I cherish these visits.



Now we are at Thanksgiving. Where did the time go?
We are so thankful for all of our many blessings- most important being our family and friends.

It is our hope things are happy and well your way.
