Weekly Update :)

I know I haven't written in a week. :) We've been busy. I finally finished my syllabus and stuff for the first day of class on Thursday! I am excited...and yes, even teachers get jitters :) It's craziness...I bought two new pairs of pants yesterday too. I feel like a 7th grader all over again!
It is also the time when my online tutoring picks up, so I'll be doing that for up to 9 hours/week, teaching at OCC, and still doing one night at Sylvan because I love it there. The people are so cool. So, it's back to 3 jobs for me... :) I wouldn't trade it for the world because I feel like I am contributing to the family more and I still get to keep doing what I know I was made to do and that is teaching :)

As most of you already know, we have made the gigantic (well, for us anyway) decision to stay at our house long term. It is off the market, for in our opinion, the long haul unless God has other plans. It's a great decision for our family. We're so excited! We're even having a bonfire to celebrate. :) If you are reading this, you are welcome to come. It will be Friday, September 12th, starting at 7pm. :) You may bring your llamas and a chair.

Let's see...other than that, we are in the midst of the "I do it myself!" stage with McKenzie. That means EVERYTHING by the way....and if you don't let her, she will go back to where she started before you helped her and do it again. What a little miss independent! Kylie is doing so well eating and she normally sleeps 10 hours/night without waking up! However, last night, she was out of sorts and woke up twice. Boy, did that throw mama off! :)

Also, as much as we miss Abby, Rob's sister Nickole offered us a new puppy! We will be getting him in late September as he has to wean from his mama. He is black and white and a Shitzu-Chiwawa (I have no idea how to spell that) mix. We are so excited, but are looking for names. Any input would be much appreciated!!!

So, that's all for now. We went camping again last weekend, but didn't take as many pics. I know the last ones didn't load, so I'll have to check on that.
