Amazing Acres
A few weeks ago we had a fun family outing to Amazing Acres near Edwardsburg. What a great place we have so close to us. They have 2 corn mazes, hayrides, gem mining, a huge slide, a goat "playground" and a bunny town. We had a great time being together on a gorgeous fall day.
Sometimes I think maybe they were born here!! 
The bunny town. The bunnies would go in and out of these store fronts.
Who are these crazy animals?
Doesn't she resemble the Miss Pumpkin?
He kind of resembles her, too!!
My favorite family in the corn maze.
Can you tell they are on a mission?
He's my favorite!
The picture in the header is from there as well. I thank God for the fun day we had. We topped it off by going to Stacey's for some great steak. Yum! Yum!

Back to School
Hey I'm back for another try. I went back to school today. It felt good to get back. We had our school open house tonight. It was good to see my students again. I had met all of them during my home visits. They are so excited about school. That's what I love about kindergarten!
Sam will be in Mrs. Ahonen's class. Along with several of his friends. Look out Mrs. Ahonen! We then went to Heritage to meet Emma's teacher. She will be in Mrs. Miller's class. She knew several kids in her class as well. None of her really good friends, much to her dismay.
Todd is thrilled that college football has started. He is in a vegetative state on the couch right now with his eyes glued to the game. I have to admit, I'm excited about football too! He has a great wife, doesn't he?
I haven't had a chance to figure out how to put pictures on yet. Maybe with the next post.

World of Blogging
What am I thinking? Do I really have time to be doing this? Not really, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun. I can't guarantee how often this will be updated or what it will include, but I'll give it a try.
We are getting geared up for school. I go back next Thursday, Aug. 28. The kids start Sept. 3. A routine and structure will be really good for the kids and I. Sam will be in 1st grade and Emma will be in 4th grade. She will be at Heritage Intermediate which is new for all of us. She is ready for the independence from mom. I bet she will miss me more than she thinks she will!
Todd is really liking his new job as a technical director. Things are going well for him. He is just as cute and handsome as ever. He is involved in our church's worship team, which he really enjoys.
Emma is taking piano lessons. She is quite good if I do say so myself. Sam is currently playing soccer and loving it. He has had 1 game so far. Me...I am just doing the best I can at being a wife, mother and teacher. And all the things that go along with those roles.
How was that for my first blog? I'll try to include pictures next time. Haven't had a chance to figure that out yet.
