Last Days of Summer! :(

I can't believe our splash pad park days are coming to an end... it's really been a FABULOUS summer! We are so grateful. But... Ughhh! Can summer come back real soon?! XOXOXO

A couple of TRUE little teacher pictures and sayings that I had to post... TOTALLY TRUE!

Rest in Peace, Uncle Joe!

Uncle Joe is our total buddy! We sit by him every week at Mass. We are sure going to miss our Uncle Joe. Kelly and I got to visit him last Sunday mid afternoon... Monday at 4 am, he passed away peacefully at Hospice House.  I'm so thankful for my goodbye with him. I/we are truly going to miss our Joe Joe.  We have loved our memories and will cherish our talks forever. How we will go to Mass each week and not see our buddy. Uncle Joe and I have been buds since the Osco Drug days.  Golly... no more words for now. (It truly makes me sad.)

 Until we meet again, Uncle Joe! LOVEYOU! 

 

 

 

 

Boy Scout Storm Chaser Game/Classroom Time!

Daddy took Mallory and William to the Storm Chasers while I visited Uncle Joe at Hospice House with Kelly.  I also got to visit Tommy Bob... just in from China! What a day of emotion... I just remember to pray any time I can. 

William was my date to Church (Mike and Mallory are sleepy-heads.. Billy Boy and I are early risers!) So, we headed to Mass, got a special treat at the coffee shop and wen up to Holy Cross to work on a few things.  Love my helpers.  Here is their bulletin board... super cute!

Happy 70th Birthday, Shirley!

Shirley couldn't be any more cuter and sweeter! Shirley has a heart of gold that she is always willing to share with others! What a wonderful day singing the praises of Shirley!

 

 

 

 

 

1st Day of Second Grade!

The day is here... we are ALL entering 2nd grade at Holy Cross! I'm pretty sure I cried tears of JOY at least 5 different times! It just oozed out! I couldn't help it... I'm so happy and proud of our Mallory and William! Mike and I both are! It truly is going to be an incredible year!

Mallory wants to be a mom and a teacher when she grows up! William wants to be a PE teacher! Golly... their smiles light up our whole world!!!!!
