I am ashamed to even admit that I have a blog after my lack of blogging these days...I really do enjoy doing it, but I just haven't been setting aside the time...That is all going to change now...I know how it is to want to read a new post on someone's blog! Well, here it goes...a quick catch up on the past couple weeks: we bought a new car and traded in the old Tally...I now have a Murano named Martha...I love her, therefore I named her after my favorite-though often criticized idol Martha Stewart...Martha is a beaut, Clark, a real beaut! She is silver with black interior...yummy! I love how great it is to drive without shifting! Yes, you can tell I'm getting older by saying that! The first six weeks of school are long gone and this week is my first ever parent-teacher conferences...i'm good, i'm good...where's the tylenol...One of my good friends, Toni got married on Saturday, and I had the honor of being a part of the wedding...It was the first wedding I had evern been in that I wasn't a flower girl when I was young...She was such a beautiful bride, and I know that Jeremy and she are very happy! My kids are really getting into school and are amazing me more and more each day...I have a new student from Vietnam, which is a big challenge for me right now...A language barrier is a tough challenge at such a young age...It has proven to be a great opportunity in tuning some of my teaching skills...I am so excited that fall is finally upon us...I plan to take some pics this weekend! Yay! Well, here's to another great week...Here's a school pic just to tide you over until the next post...

If you look closely, you can see that they are wearing elf ears...We were elves for E Week! So magical and fun! They loved it!
