september update



Fall is upon us. I'm seeing signs of it all around. The days have cooled off a bit, thanks much to Ike, and the leaves have already begun to fall. I began an apple unit with my kindergarteners yesterday and it excites me to think of hayrides, pumpking carving, and haunted corn mazes!

Brad and I are continuing to adjust to the life of married folks. It has been a little difficult for me lately, I must admit, to adjust to the life of a football coach. He is gone so many nights and until so late. And, there is only so much TV I can handle. I need a hobby...any suggestions? And, if you ever need a friend on a weeknight...you are more than welcome here -- I would rather enjoy the company! Regardless, I am thankful for the short hours he is home in the evening. Mo is taking well to the adjustment, though I think he misses cuddling with me all night.
On a more serious note, I have been experiencing some odd chest pain lately. I've been to several doctors and was in the Emergency Room for a while last night and I continue to hear that it probably isn't serious, but still no diagnosis has been reached. It's a little frustrating because I've never had any problems before and here comes this weird blindsiding "thing." I go to the hospital again on Friday morning for a stress test. Hopefully, this might yeild some answers. For now, its pain killers and many acid reducers..."just in case" or so I'm told. Your prayers are coveted :).

Okay on to more bright things! I finally scanned in the letters we've received from James. The first is an annual report from his school. He is doing very well.


The second is so precious to us. He has drawn and labeled many pictures (something I would jump up and down if my Kindergartners would grasp hold of!) with a short letter he dictated to someone. Enjoy!

Hi, Mackenzie. :) I saw the link to this on Facebook and had to come check it out! James is such a sweetheart.. his pictures are great!

I also had to mention.. the pains you are having sound a bit like what my hubby was experiencing a few years ago. He kept having these weird pains that the doctors thought could be acid reflux or something similar, until they finally did an ultrasound and discovered that he had gallstones. He ended up needing his gallbladder removed, and once that was done the pains left for good! Hopefully with you it's nothing serious (I'll be praying!) but I thought you'd be interested to hear what happened with Justin.

Anyway! I hope everything else is going well. Have a great week!
