Fall!

My pumpkin topiary for the table. It turned out better than I thought it would!

4 months - New Record!

It took only four months for me to remember that I have a blog!! I'm getting so much better at this stuff.

Current news is as follows:

1. Gavin and I have purchased a home in the small little community of Myrtle, MS. A GREAT home for a great price, but it IS in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Sigh. I do miss the city...any city actually. Lois LOVES her yard though - she can run all over and become out of breath before she's out of property.

2. The holidays are upon us and this year the Dunn family will not be meeting for Thanksgiving. Egads! The horror! I believe we'll be going to Texas for the holiday though - so at least we'll get to get away a little bit.

3. Started my second year of teaching at V.C.A. I've started teaching grades 3-6 full time and just teach the younger one their phonics. Actually I'm teaching them words and how to read!! I have a 4 year old, Matthew, who is as cute as can be and man, does he surprise me with what he actually picks up. You would think he would know how to pick out the letters A, B, and C...sure can't. But he knows the letters I and J. He knows the word 'crazy' and 'Walmart' too. I've decided teaching children words they can associate with will get them farther along on their learning journey. :) They all know what Walmart is and I always tell them they are driving me crazy. :D

4. Amber is scheduled for a 4D ultrasound for baby Ella. Woo hoo!! I'll get to see my niece. I can't wait!

Well enough for now - I'll post more later. (Quit laughing - it could happen!)
