End of August

Well, here it is, the end of August already!! I can't believe that the summer is already over!

The month of August was a busy one!! We started out by having John's parents come and visit us. It was a nice visit and great to have them here. Even though we didn't do much exciting--it was still a great visit!

The weekend after that, Shila's parents came to visit and babysit Brenden. They needed to babysit, because John and Shila decided to fulfill a dream, and take motorcycle riding lessons. :) It was great!! After one weekend of day-long classes, we are now certified and legal to drive motorcycles!! woohoo!!! Now the itch has only gotten stronger to get our Harley! It's only a matter of time before we head down to Junction and do some shopping! ;)

The same weekend, John surprised me with an early Christmas present!! Little Bella Daisy Mae was added to our family! I have wanted a beagle puppy for a long time, and John surprised me by having her flown in to join our family!! It was tough naming her....At first we thought her name was going to be Daisy--then Shila kinda liked Daisy Mae, but had always wanted to name a beagle, Bella. So...the deciding factor--Brenden said Bella. It was set!! ;)

Now we get to the middle of the month: Due to construction, we weren't allowed into our classrooms until the 17th. The problem with that was that I had trainings the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, of that week. Plus more trainings/meetings the next Wed., Thurs., and Friday. Which leaves virtually no time to put together a classroom, before the little angels come on Monday morning. :)

It is now Sunday evening...I don't feel that I have things set and ready for tomorrow morning, nor do I want to leave the comfort of spending all day with Brenden watching Phineas and Ferb, Seseme Street, and the Price is Right! ;) But such is the way it goes...vacation can't last forever....so here we go!!! ;)
