Where Have I Been???

Now that school is back in, I can't seem to find two extra minutes to blog. We have either Karate and/or soccer Monday through Thursday and two soccer games on Saturdays. Marissa and I scrapbooked last weekend, which has been the highlight of my week. Work is chaotic as I travel back and forth to two sites. This week I was off both of my campuses for two days of training to work with new teachers. I am enjoying the experience of Coaching, but I truly feel lost outside of the classroom. I need to go back next year for my own sanity.

My sister Holly is moving into her new house this weekend. I may have to pop up there to check it out, even though she said she didn't need any more help. You never know how much stuff you have until you have to pack it up and move it! I am so excited for her and Tim. They are going to really enjoy their first home.

We are surviving the puppy, although I tend to doubt my decision to take her home almost every day. I question if I can keep it up, but I'm giving it my best effort. It'll get better I'm sure.

Dog Days

Today I spent the day cleaning out the dog run, trying to get Maisie to do her thing on the grass rather than my carpet, and getting her used to her crate in the hopes that she will soon sleep in it all night. I feel like I just had another baby! Luckily she is such a good tempered pup that it'll all be worth the effort. She is so much fun to be around and she never barks or growls. She is always happy and ready to play with anyone who is willing.

Tonight we went to my dad's house for dinner. Maisie had a blast playing with their dad, Tiffany. I think Tiff was glad when we left so she could take a break.

Soccer Mania!

It's A Girl!

I finally got my baby girl! We were lucky enough to adopt a new puppy this week. It took us by surprise, and she's a lot of work, but we are happy to introduce you to Maisie Pearl. She is a Western Highland White Terrier and she's 5 months old. She is completely opposite of what we thought we wanted, but she is a perfect fit for our family. She is such a good girl. She never barks or growls and LOVES to play with people and other dogs. She is adjusting well to her new home and we are working on potty training!!! Wish us luck!!

So Long to Summer

Well, we all went back to school this week and things haven't been the same in our house ever since. Jaxon started 2nd Grade and is in Mrs. Tompkin's class. I don't know who go the better deal- me because she's my best friend, or him because she's an amazing teacher. It will be an awesome year! Jaxon is also thrilled to stay after school and play with the other teachers' kids. He feels like big stuff and gets a chance to hang out with his buddies Kaleigh and Addie.

On our last night of summer we celebrated with Ice Cream Sundaes. It was a nice way to end the season and begin a new school year!
