Jordyn went back to school after Labor Day to start a great year in 4th-grade. I can't believe she is that old! She is working hard already... she came home yesterday with a "boatload" (her words) of homework. Today in Phy Ed she had to run the timed one mile run.. I always hated that day but she seemed to take it all in stride. Here she is on her first day of school. It is VERY embarrasing when your mom takes a picture of you in front of the other kids...tee-hee! I'm sure I'll still be trying to take pictures of her on the first day of school when she is in high school and I'm sure she'll be mortified.
Addyson is doing so well. She is now 3-months old and such a happy and fun baby. We are so blessed to have her. She is sleeping from about 9pm to 6:30am each day... which I love. She does really well with routines and has settled into them with little work by us.
We also had the first day of VIKINGS football! We all donned our purple and gold and watched the game together. Even Jordyn joined us... although she read and drew during most of the game. We had to get the camera out to capture our VIKING PRIDE! It is hard to get a baby to look at the camera and smile when it is on self-timer. She is watching the tv in this picture... little turkey!
Our latest bit of news is that I am officially back to work after a great summer at home with my girls. I had 3 good job offers in one week so I was fortunate to have some choices. I chose to take a Marketing Manager position with Summit Group Software. I feel that this will be a challenging and exciting position in a relatively new and small organization with great growth potential. I have been working for a week and am learning a lot already. Addyson is doing well with her new daycare routine. She is going to a great home daycare run by someone I have known for a few years. She is well loved and snuggled all day which is exactly what I want for her. I miss her so much during the day but I have to admit that it is nice to get out of the house and interact with adults.
We have a very busy fall scheduled with 3 different out-of-town weddings in 3 weeks. I am also going to training classes and several trade shows for work in October. Plus Girl Scouts and Awana are gearing up again. I have a feeling that fall is going to be gone before I know what has happened.
Hope all is well with everyone... please leave a comment! We love to read them.
