Terriffic Kid!

Emily had an awards ceremony this morning at her school and she received every single award that there was! She got perfect attendance, the Terriffic Kid award and the Principal's List which means that in addition to being on the straight A honor roll she also had all Os (outstandings) in her extra classes like dance, gym, music and art and she has good behavior in all areas. We are very proud of her, but most importantly she is very proud of herself!

Just wanted to let you all know that Lucy may know how to go in and out of the doggie door, but she didn't do it last night. Let's just say that at 7 o'clock this morning I was steam cleaning the carpets! Here's hoping she catches on to the idea.......

Our new family member.....

We got a new dog today....a white Schnauzer. We are calling her Lucy. She is all mine! She follows me everywhere, but is very patient with the kids. She already knew how to go out the doggie door and so far seems like a great dog! We will see how it goes....

Isn't she adorable?

We did the Wizard of Oz for Halloween yesterday. We got lots of compliments at our church's festival and we had a great time!
