The weekend...

Happy Veteran's Day to all the Veterans! Thank you for your service and your sacrifices!

My favorite veteran!  Love you Mikey! :)

This week has been a super busy week filled with meetings, school, homework and all of the regular craziness at work. 

This weekend I am working on my homework and I have to take my re-certification for my Preschool CLASS certificate. 

I miss this kitty.  We got him when Alyssa was in kindergarten.  He was such a snuggly little kitty and he was the best cat ever!  He turned 17 this year and was getting pretty old.  He was mostly deaf and pretty blind, but he still loved to snuggle.  He passed away this summer and I miss him.

We have a new little kitty now.  Alexandra's friend fostered an abandoned litter of kitties she found and Alex fell in love with the littlest one.  We adopted him at the end of summer and he is such a super snuggle bug.  I know it is Alex's kitty, but I really love him! ;)  His name is Oreo and he is black and white...named after Alex's favorite food! 

Alex and Oreo!

I am off to finish my English assignment and my CLASS re-certification!  Have a great weekend!!

November 2016

I can't believe that 2016 is almost over!  I am still in school, almost done with my ECE degree (just one more class!!) and then I am almost done with my AA in ECE.  I have an appointment next week to finalize my schedule and that should give me a graduation date also!

My cute little family is growing up!  Aiden is in first grade this year and Ryan and Elizabeth are in preschool.  They don't currently attend a preschool this year since Miss Patti 'retired' and is now teaching at the elementary schools, but they are super excited that mom is going to 'home school' them!  I have been sending crafts, books, and activities over for them to do! 

For the last few years, all I have wanted for Christmas is a current family picture.  This last year (these are from Jan 2016) I told the kids to meet me at Hovander because we were doing pictures!

Some silly poses...

...and some cute poses!

I was very pleased they all turned out!  I think we are all looking at the camera and most of us are smiling in this one!  I call that a winner!!  

One of my favorite of these two!!

I am off to finish up some homework before going to bed.  Tomorrow is going to be another long day and I need my beauty sleep!
