This is our (new) life

Here is our school life in pictures.
These photos were taken yesterday on our way to school.
Ruth is getting her shoes on, they are always left in the car.
Mary is psyching herself up for another day. She loves her school, teacher, friends, and has a great time. I call her Misty now since she tears up every time I drop her off.
Then there are all those boxes.
That was my job yesterday. Three hours of filling orders from our fund raiser. We got it done and raised a lot of money for the school.
So this is my life now. Back and forth to school, in and out of classrooms, raising money.
And I love it!!

Thank You!

I want to send out a quick Thank You to everyone who is working to make this holiday a special time for my family.
We love you all, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Matt, Amber, Ruth and Mary

A birthday video

Ruth's birthday

Ruth asked for two things for her birthday.
Books and dragons.
She got three dragons, and three books.
Exactly what she wanted.

Highlights from Ruth's 8th birthday

I made Ruth a dragon cake using sprinkles and the outline of a dragon made from a coloring page.
Mary helped light the candles.

Today Ruth turned 8!
Happy Birthday Ruth, I love you.
Mom

What we are up to

Wow, it has been some time since I last posted.
Let me see, what have I been up to.
The kids are having so much fun at their new school, and are doing really well.
I am still working as a property manager, volunteering at the kids school, and then all the homework, school work, and laundry I have always done.
I will try to do better in the future, I don't have the kids at home all the time anymore, not sure what to blog about, but I will do my best.
