The ladies, all of us, had a transitional summer filled with eldercare and reinforcing the values of family. Poppy came to live with us just before school went back. We started the school year off by losing their grandfather and then great uncle. This was immediately followed up by moving grandma in! Next week will be their first full week of school this year. Now you're all caught up!
So as I am driving home a strange number comes up in the car. I'm usually leery of said numbers. I answer in a strange voice incase I'm being tracked by the mob. It's the girls teacher calling to gush!
PROUD MOM MOMENT!
She went on about how well they are doing and their excellent behavior. With everything that has been going on in our lives it was this 2 minute phone call that brought tears to my eyes! They are well adjusted kids, respectful, and excelling in school. Despite the recent shake-ups they are rolling with it!

In other news, we have gained another furry child!
This kiss-a-holic is Ivy. She came to us in July to calm the anxiety of our pup Kenton. Ivy is young, energetic, and full of BARK! She loves to alert us of passing cars, falling leaves, and the neighbor's every movement. She is also a cuddler! Tons of puppy love in our house.

Lastly, I'm still here. Alive and well. Maybe I will even start writing again now that life has settled down.
