Start of Summer

Hi! Remember us???



I have actually had several people tell me just recently they follow my blog. Which really makes me embarrassed because I am just terrible at posting. I would promise to be more diligent at my posts from now on.... however, I just wouldn't want to tell a lie. I can promise that I will try harder though.

Summer has gotten off to a fun start. In May we took a trip-- a much needed and anticipated getaway. Mom and Dad met us in San Fransisco and we rented a car and drove out to Sonoma. Talk about a perfect and beautiful destination. Sonoma was fabulous. We enjoyed the restaurants, vineyards, parks, shopping, etc. Most of all we enjoyed spending time with Buddy and Grandmomma and our beautiful surroundings. When I find myself stressed I just close my eyes and think of Sonoma. It is definitely a place we will be revisiting- hopefully sooner than later.




When we returned from our trip, planting of milo begun. Dennis has been busy with the farm. Lots of work to get done as we are moving into planting and summer harvest. Dennis has also been working hard in our garden. He definitely gets full credit for the garden because he has done all of the work on it. He has planted tomatoes, sunflowers, pumpkins, squash and lavender. I need to post pictures because it looks great! Fingers crossed we will not have a terrible wind storm to knock it out like last year.



I recently accepted the preschool teaching position for next school year. I will be teaching four year olds in our community three mornings a week. Part time teaching positions never come available in our school district so when I was approached about this job, I jumped at the chance to do it. So this summer I will find myself organizing a classroom and gathering information on the best way to teach four year olds. Please pray for me :).

Mae is growing like a weed. She is a very curious and determined little girl. She loves spending time outside and has figured out how to take pictures on my iphone. I am starting to learn the term "terrible twos". Not that Mae is bad or anything... She just has a certain way things need to be done and certain idea of what she wants to do. Needless to say, we are working on transitions. Overall Mae just loves any new experiences she comes across and is a very happy girl. Which makes for a very happy Momma and Daddy.



We have an upcoming trip to Birmingham end of June. Mae and I are looking forward to having some fun with family and friends. I will be in touch.

Hope everyone is enjoying their start to summer. For those of you reading this, thank you for taking the time to read and not giving up on checking my blog.
