BACK INTO BLOGGING

Have completely gotten away from the blog for awhile, but ready to jump back in with some updates on our life!

1. Fall is here for sure, leaves are flying. We live in a windy spot so no raking here!

2. Katie is almost 10 and is always cracking us up with new phrases and a more mature outlook on life. She was telling us the other day about something that happened at recess and her comments were something like, "...the part that really sucked about it was...." Brian and I looked at each other over her head and raised eyebrows at the same time! I stopped her story and asked what she just said and she fully repeated the exact wording! I explained it wasn't something a little lady should be saying and it's more adult language than 5th grader. She kind of smiled and just moved on with her story...so what do you think will be her new fav word to say out of mom's earshot?! (better than most her dad could be caught saying out of her earshot!)

3. Brian is a hunting banshee with goose and deer season in full swing. He's really enjoying hunting with Millie and different buddies with all of his goose paraphenalia - smiling from ear to ear!

4. Work for both of us has been tense, but we're still employed and in today's economy, that's a good thing. But there are days...

5. Scrapbook weekend is just 12 days away, cannot wait! BUT - I am not yet prepared to go, so the pressure is about to start.

6. We have a sweet new nephew/cousin! Master Cormac was born in late Sept but Katie or I have been sick at opposite times enough that we've both only seen him twice so far. Don't want to spread any germs his way!

All else is good, buckling down for winter's approach. Oh, how that sounds yucky!

Here are a few back to school pixs of Katie and friends
