Goodness! It's been two months since an update! A lot has happened since September 1st!
School got off to a wonderful start...a new slate of teachers at the school, new A/C at the school, new friends moved in to town...life has been good for the kids at school. Kara is LOVING preschool and her teacher shocked us at parent/teacher conferences by telling us that our shy child is actually the LEADER in class...she's outgoing, very artistic, and focused. Allison is doing very well in her 1st grade class. Grades are outstanding! Her only issue is breaking in to song under her breath when it's quiet in class...hmmm..wonder where she gets that from? Matthew is doing extremely well as well...he's only got one B right now and the rest are A's. He's improving in band as well...he decided on percussion and has been learning the bells since September. He's looking forward to drums later in the year. God help us. We are very proud of all of them.
The kids have been putting up with Mommy being gone a lot since the beginning of September. I played Emma Carew in the Depot Theater production of Jekyll and Hyde. The 3 week run was in October and it was a total success. We've heard great and wonderful things from the public about it...so my first experience in the Depot was a VERY positive one. I was able to meet a lot of new people as well as visit with old friends who came long distances to see the show. Glad to be back home now with family though...
Grandma Nancy, Grandpa Dennis, and Darlene moved from Florida back to Kansas in September...Bucklin, in fact...not too far from Dodge City. The kids are happy to have grandparents so close again.
Kara's birthday was yesterday and although we didn't have a very large celebration, she had a wonderful birthday. She celebrated in her class at school and then again at home with family in the evening. I've posted pictures to her album....Hard to believe that little girl is four years old. I can still remember the sigh and tears of relief when she was born.
We are also happy to be welcoming a new member to our family functions....Grandpa Dan is spending time with Vicki and she is now "officially" his girlfriend! Everyone is very excited that they found each other. We think that Grandma Bev and Vicki's husband Dennis are smiling down at them from heaven. We are truly blessed to be getting to know Vicki!
The Holiday season is sneaking up on us....Thanksgiving is in 3 weeks....so we are gearing up for family visits. Plans are still up in the air for Christmas....our nephew Harold will be baptized in Corpus Christi, TX over Christmas and we are not sure we will be able to make it. I'm not saying no just yet, though! Christmas shopping is in full swing as is shopping for all of the birthdays we have for the next three months!
This Saturday, Eric and I will take a much needed trip to Wichita by ourselves to attend Wicked, The Musical. We hope to finish some Christmas shopping while we are there, but more importantly, we are going to spend some time together. A nice date day if I do say so myself!
Well, time to get back to uploading photos and then to work. Enjoy the rest of your week!Add a comment:

The kids actually took off for school this morning in long sleeves and jackets...this cool weather is SOOOOO not Dodge City in the summer! We aren't complaining, though, because we haven't had to run the AC in days and our yard hasn't been this green in a long time.
Heading out for another camping trip this weekend....we hope. Then, it's off for one final camping run with the camper next weekend...don't know where yet for either weekend, so who knows. We may end up camping in the driveway!
Kids were excited to see Grandpa Dave and Nana this past weekend. Daddy had Stewardship Day at the Cathedral all day Saturday and Mommy had to sing at Mass Saturday night. So although we had guests, we were still busy. Went to Boot Hill on Saturday afternoon and the kids had a ball. We had a great weekend.
In two weeks, Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Dennis will be here. They are moving "back home" from Florida to a new job in Dodge City. The kids ask all of the time when they are coming...we will help them move in when they get here. We are sure praying that things go way better for them here then they did in Florida. It doesn't sound like they will be here for very long (maybe 2 years), but we will enjoy their close proximity while they are here. Have a safe move!
Rehearsals for Mommy will start next week for Jekyll & Hyde (musical). I will be playing Emma Carew (Dr. Jekyll's fiance)....kids have been helping me practice (of course). Should be fun as I haven't done anything major like this since college. Sounds like lots of people are planning to attend...so no pressure. Ha! Poor Daddy will be a "single parent" for the good part of 2 months...but he's being a good sport about all of it.
A week ago we went to Victoria for a wedding for Amanda and Kevin. It was so wonderful to see them getting married! I sang, Eric read, and Matthew served. BIG family affair! Sounds like Amanda and Kevin had a great time in Hawaii...too bad we couldn't convince them that they needed to take us with them. Maybe next time. *grin*
Well, enjoy the beautiful weather!Comments:Add a comment:

First day of school today! A few tears were shed by Mom after dropping off Kara at her preschool today....Kara was a bit upset that she couldn't dive in to the puzzles but had to find her chair. A new routine....she's had her heart set on those puzzles since seeing them at open house yesterday. But, all was well within a few minutes and she was finally able to use her paints in class! She was very proud to show off her picture at home. Allison bounded in to first grade with enthusiasm....Matthew was a bit more apprehensive about 5th grade. But, all in all, the morning went well. Can't believe another year is starting, but we are excited to get back in to the school routine.
Speaking of routine...time to go get the kiddos from school and wake Kara from her nap. Have a great week!Comments:Add a comment:

The kids enrolled in school today (including Kara! She'll be in preschool)...they are all excited and looking forward to the first day of school (next Tuesday).
Matthew opted out of football this year...I am pretty sure it has something to do with his best friend not doing it either....oh well. Allie has joined gymnastics. She decided against Dance Cats this year (which surprised me), but after seeing her joyful face in practice Tuesday night at gymnastics, I'm confident she made the right decision....she's in heaven. Kara has made the leap to no diapers at night. She started ripping her pullups off every night so we finally just said "no more." Has worked wonderfully.
Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Dennis will be moving to Bucklin (about 30 minutes from Dodge) in 3 weeks. Things didn't work out in Florida, but a job opened back up with Dennis's old job. The kids are beyond excited that they will be here...they haven't seen them in a long while.
We will see Grandpa Dan this weekend in Victoria as a cousin of ours will be getting married Saturday. We are very excited to see all of the family again...will be spending the night with Great-Grandma Agedia! Should be fun!
Hoping to see Grandpa Dave and Nana next weekend...the girls got to see them in July, but Matthew missed out due to baseball...he was pretty jealous!
Time to get back in to school mode. It was nice to see everyone at the school this evening at enrollment...it will be nice to get back into a routine. I'll be getting very busy with rehearsals for Jekyll & Hyde (shows: Oct.15-31)...had our first run through of music on Sunday. Was encouraged and impressed with the caliber of actors that I'll be working with. My anxiety was dampened a bit which was good. I'm very nervous.
Well, have a great weekend everyone and enjoy back to school!! =)Comments:Add a comment:
