School's in Session!

We started school Tuesday, August 22 and it has been a lot of fun. Tay actualy started Smithville last Wednesday and has really enjoyed going. I will write on both the kids blogs so you know what they have and will be learning. I have been strictly working with Jimmy on phonics before we start anything else and he is doing great and really enjoying it (especially his flash card that has Pp, he laughs so hard at that one).

9 days and my husband will finally be here and I can't wait to see him. Taylor has really been missing Daddy and she is counting down the days. It has been 3 months since they have seen him and I know he is excited too. We are planning to take the kids on their first field trip of the year to The Kansas City Zoo where they have just opened Asia. My grandparents gave Eric and I a Friends of the Zoo card so we can take the kids to zoos anywhere in the USA and we really appreciate that. Eric is flying in September 2nd and will be here until the 6th.

Last Sunday Alisha and Izabel came to visit and it was nice to see them. Thank you for coming and I will get ahold of you once Eric gets here so we can all get together. I can't believe how big Izzy has gotten and she is sitting and just as cute as can be. Taylor and Jimmy loved having her and I don't think they left her side. You are always welcome to visit.

I also have a new baby as of yesterday afternoon. I was up in the garden picking tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and peppers when I heard a cry. I walked over to where the asparagus used to be and found a baby kitten that was probably dumped (they always end up here). I would guess she is about 8 weeks and she was filthy and had a hurt foot so I brought her in and bathed her. She is the sweetest thing I have ever seen and so loving, I don't think I have ever had a kitten that wouldn't let me leave there sight. She follows me everywhere (unless she's sleeping which seems to be half the day. I love her to death and Taylor named her Tinkerbell and we call her Bell. I will post pictures soon so I can show her off.
