Friends

I have made a friend at my new job. Her name is Betsy and she is the art teacher. I am grateful for the people God provides me in each new job I have. Thank You!

Dentist Part II

Alea and I went back to the dentist today so Alea could get a filling for her cavity. She was a very good girl again. It is amazing how people react to a well behaved child. It is almost like another wonder of the world. Few and far between. It makes us proud of our girl and our parenting but very sad for everyone else.

Alea was so cute after they woke her up. She was trying to walk but kept bumping into the walls. I told her I would carry her, but she said that she could walk she was just a little wobbly. I think the nurses were about to eat her up she was so cute. They told me to take her home for a nap. She and I both slept for FIVE HOURS!!!! We woke up about an hour before Davin got home from work. I guess I really needed it and she was really drugged. :)

Baby Shower

Today we had my sister's baby shower. (Pictures below) We had a good time with several members of our family. It was so nice of them to travel to Arkansas from Kansas to attend the shower. I loved listening to the sloshing sounds and movement going on in Becky's belly. I am excited to meet Reed Mathew in February.

Dentist

Alea had her first dentist appointment today. She did GREAT!!! The dental hygentist said that her child (who is older than Alea) doesn't even behave as well at the dentist as Alea did. She did have one cavity though.

Pumpkin Painting

Alea is very excited for Halloween. She has enjoyed seeing all of the decorations our neighbors have on their homes. She is a holiday girl. She loves all holidays but birthdays are the best. Below are some photos of Alea painting a pumpkin. She had so much fun and spent a long time working on her pumpkin to make it just right. She even painted a purple tutu on her pumpkin. She told me this week that she was going to have her birthday on Halloween. Her birthday is in April. I think she just wants to have her birthday early and often. :) What a funny girl!

Sick Again, Again!

Alea is sick AGAIN for the third weekend in a row. She has a kidney infection now and is on her third medicine in three weeks. I am praying for her quick healing and MAINTAINED health.

New York

I am going to Buffalo, New York for a conference in November. I am excited about attending the conference and visiting Niagra Falls with my assistant principal. We will probably be presenting what we learn to all of the assistant principals from the district at their January meeting. I hope it is a good trip.
