My, my how time flies!

So much has happened, don't know where to begin.  I am back at school with a new class of first graders again.  My 36th class!  Now that makes me feel old.  I can still remember my first year with my first and second graders at Bankston.  Now the school is not even there anymore.  And the school I taught my first Aquin class in is no longer there either.  Wow.  Not sure how much longer I am going to teach.  I have always said I would teach for 1 more year. Now it is 36 1 more years. 

Summer vacation was great.  Jon and I went up to Minn to see Mike and Connie in their new home.  Had a great time.  Came home and went out to CO to see Adam and Joelle the last week in July.  Had another great time.  Abby, Ashley, Trent and Addy went with us.  I have wanted to do this since Adam moved out there and I wasn't disappointed.  The kids were great and everyone had a great time.  We will have to do it again soon.  And take Tory with us next time.

Mike and Connie are coming down next weekend and the Reinbergs are coming up 2 weeks later.  Yay!! Love having company.

Trenten and Papa

Trenten had a great weekend with Papa. Jon was chisel-plowing cornstalks yesterday and harrowing hayground today and of course Trent had to help. He was in his glory. I told him he was a pretty lucky boy cause he got to ride on the tractor with Papa and the bulldozer with Flute. He was with Jon yesterday from about 10:00 until 4. We even had to take lunch out to the field because they were so busy. Abby said he fell asleep on the way home last night. I am sure he will be in bed early tonight cause he was outside more today. He started out with his coat, hat and gloves on but took those all off cause it actually got up to 70 today. Yay!

It's about time!

Kind of forgot about my blog for a while.  Almost a year since I last blogged.  Is it because nothing has happened or because it has been so busy?  I think the latter.  But like I told Adam, busy is good.  I am watching the kids again this summer.  Fun but busy.  Trent and Addy got to ride in the Nova last night.  Trent was SO excited.  He said Papa was a better driver than Mama.  Which I will agree with.  Jon is putting in lots of hours at work so we don't see much of him.  It has been a dry May and June so far.  Continue to pray for favorable weather. So far we have been very fortunate receiving rains just when we needed them.  Hopefully that will continue.  Thank you, Lord.
