Various updates

For those of you who didn't know, I no longer work in Fayetteville. Praise the Lord!! I now work for a long term care pharmacy in Fort Smith called Encompass Health Group. It is a new company, so we are starting from the ground up. I love it! I've been there for a couple of weeks, and I love the relaxed atmosphere. I really like my co-workers. They are very nice, but they work hard. It's exactly the kind of place that I have been looking for.

Shawn is doing great in school. Unfortunately, he is now driving 5 days a week to Fayetteville. We are hoping that he won't be doing that next semester, but with the classes that he needs to take to finish his degree, he probably will.

Alivia is also doing great in school. She is reading at the highest level in her Kindergarten class. We read every day, and she amazes me! She loves her teacher, which helps with her interest in school. The best part is that Alivia loves to teach Aleigh, and Aleigh wants to learn. When Alivia is doing her homework, Aleigh asks for homework, too.

Alivia had a Fairy Tale Ball at school a couple of weeks ago. She was Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Even though I had only been at my new job for a week, my boss said I could go! We had so much fun! We danced, ate, and danced some more.

Halloween 2010


Jessie and Batgirl to the rescue!!


It took a while, but we finally convinced Aleigh to be a girl character for Halloween. After she found out that Alivia wanted to be Jessie (from Toy Story), she wanted to be either Buzz Lightyear or Woody. I'm not sure where Batgirl fit in to the whole scenario, but at least she's a girl!

Once again, we raked in the candy after just a few houses. We came back home early (like we always do) and managed to hand out 7 bags of candy in less than an hour. The girls are so generous! They would call to the kids as they were walking away "Hey, did you get one of these?!?". It was impossible to keep them from giving out less than 5 pieces of candy per kid!


And, no...I did not ask them to pose.
