A Day with the Dogs

This afternoon was spent with the dogs. Literally.

Erica and I brought our respective kids (Buck and Ellie) for a double doggy date at Sharon's dog park. The dogs played and ran and sniffed and wrestled and wandered and ran and sniffed and wandered some more. (Ellie spent more time wandering and sniffing than playing per se but she got some fresh air and has spent most of the evening on the couch sleeping.)

I tackled a few grad class assignments/ a bit of school work today knowing the next few days are busy busy busy!

Tomorrow's big event:

Ellie sees her new house and backyard for the first time.

Dad will help us change the locks on the house; We'll begin the major scrub down of the walls, windows, and floor and start yard work.



So excited to begin moving in/decorating/hosting/entertaining.

Its been awhile. . .

Its funny how life gets in the way and how you just don't seem to know where the time goes.

Last week we had some friends over for the Patriots game which was very nice--and yummy. The weekend before, we took Ellie to meet Auntie Leah at UMASS. =)

Third grade is going well. We are moving along faster in Math than we did last year which is nice. I've gotten a few very nice, sincere compliments from two now-retired teachers who have come in to assist me during my Writing block. Those were very nice to hear.

This week they finished their molecule meal menus which the principal adored. =)

We are beginning chapter 3 in Math tomorrow, appropriately learning about the Wampanoags as Thanksgiving quickly approaches, and learning author's purpose, main idea and all that good stuff.

However, today is Veterans Day and Justin and I both have it off so after a delicious breakfast date at a small cafe around the corner, we are taking Ellie to the dog park!


Ooo and in wedding news, we have our photographer and dj booked! I also have a dress appointment in two weeks! =) Yaah!
