Where Have I Been?

Has it really been 6 weeks since I have blogged?!  Now, I know that all my readers (I think there are 3 of you) have been eagerly checking everyday for an update, and I finally have one for you.  Between teaching, grading papers, church stuff, more grading, 3 family birthdays in October and starting to run again I have stayed busy!  Here are some pictures of other things that have been keeping me busy too. 

These 2 cuties have been keeping me pretty entertained on the weekends:

Our family has had the blessing of moving my grandma this fall from a care center in Burley to here in Boise.  After she moved in, we celebrated my mom's birthday with an all girl dinner at the care center.

Halloween rolled around and I carved my first pumpkin in a very long time. 

 Can you tell it's an owl?  

I had some issues and now tell a story of an owl who was attacked and lost an eye and ear.

My pumpkin was in good company!

Did I mention these 2 already?

 I have also been coaching girls basketball at my school.  I love these girls and we have had a great season!  It ended last night when we lost our tournament game but the girls and I will be partying this week instead!  They played hard in every game and learned so much this season!

That sums up my fall so far!  As November rolls on, I have been thinking through the big and small things in life that I am so grateful for.  Salvation, family, friends, coffee, peanut butter and so much more!
