What We've Been Up To...

Wow, I feel like it is all I can talk about - I am so busy!  Having two children and working outside the home is HARD!  I am trying to really have the best of both worlds.  Here are some things we have been up to lately:

Loren is doing great in K-4.  She is now going four days a week.  She is learning so many letters and sounds as well as Bible verses.  Most days when I come to pick her up, her face is red from playing outside.  She often says things like, "Why did you come so soon?" 

Madi is my childhood friend, Mandy's daughter and is Loren's class. They are good friends and I think it is so sweet.  I need a pic of them together.

Loren came home sick today (Mom picked her up.)  She  was complaining of a headache and had a slight fever.  She is still saying her head hurts but no fever. 

Here are some pictures to show you and remind me of what we have been up to!

A couple of Friday nights ago, we went to the "Haystackular" which is put on by Dixon Primary School.  It is their major fundraiser.  I believed they raised $35,000 last year from it!!!  Loren and Daddy went through the maze.  Looks like she was fast huh?! 

This is what happens when you don't listen to Mommy!

Howdy Partner!

In John Deere Green....At the Peanut Festival in Jay.  Loren even ate a few boiled peanuts with me!!

We went out to dinner with my dad last Friday night and he took a turn feeding Arden baby food.  He thinks it may have been 30+ years since he last fed a baby baby food! ha!  Good job Dad!

We went to the St. Rose Fall festival.  I enjoyed Fillipino food, Andy enjoyed Italian, and Loren enjoyed cotton candy (what else right?)  Her face actually cleaned up quite easily to Andy's surprise.

First time riding bumper cars.  Apparently, Loren rode by herself the first time because she could reach the pedals.  However, she got shoved into a corner and was stuck there the whole ride.  The nice lady running the ride recognized this and let her ride again with her Daddy driving. :)

My super sweet girls in their fall dresses.  Those shoes stayed on Arden about another 3 seconds after this photo was taken - ha!  We were on our way to church.
