The First Weeks of School...it's Fall!

Well, we all survived the first weeks of school. It has been quite an adjustment working full-time again but we're getting into the swing of things. Everyday gets a little easier than the one before. Carter has been doing really well. He has been so good about getting up and going every morning by 7:00AM. He's an angel! I hope it stays this way. My mom is able to continue to watch Carter this year and she has taken on a couple other children as well. It has been working out well for all of us. If only Carter would start using the potty, he could go to school...but haven't had success on the "potty-front" yet. He turns 3 in December, so hopefully we'll have a turning-point soon!


I am learning a lot about my job and starting to really enjoy it. I am still looking into some possible certification programs. I just received my Masters in the Art of Teaching in August, so I am trying to find a program no more than 15-credits. We'll see, if that's possible. I am accepting that I am a "lifer" with college. There seems to be no end in sight for this schooling thing! I will certainly be well-educated and well-indebt by the end.

Dear Summer, Where did you go?? I can't believe it's already Fall. Although we're all looking forward to the holidays. Carter will be Thomas (the train) for Halloween and we're coordinating his birthday theme again this year. He is really into trains these days :) The leaves are already changing colors and Halloween decorations are making their way out of storage. Hard to believe how fast the time goes sometimes...
