My baby is almost home

Above is a picture of Sarah receiving an award from a general for doing what ever she does. She is a transportation officer. I am super proud of her.
Sarah, will be in the USA tomorrow. We are so excited. She will be flying to Ft. Riley, Kansas. We hope she comes to Texas soon. We won't see her for a while, but we can call her anytime we want. If she calls, we can call her back. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is when you can't do it.
Below is a picture of Sarah when she was around 2 years old. She loved to read even then.

What A Week

Remembering cooler weather


This is a picture of beautiful Colorado. I think it was taken near Vail. Joe and I rode his Harley to Rifle, Colorado in June. Weather was great, cool when we were in Colorado. When we hit Texas after 10 days in coolness, it was over 100 and has stayed that way.

WHAT A WEEK
MONDAY - I started the week working at a local day camp. A friend asked me if I would volunteer Monday because they were short handed. I spend the morning with 4 and 5 year olds. I was super tired.
MONDAY PM-THURSDAY - I packed my suitcase and headed to Fort Worth with my sister to attend an assistive technology (AT) conference. After 3 days of sitting in a conference room and shopping in the evening, I am "zhausted".

FRIDAY - I am going to Archer City, Texas to see my daughter in the musical Oklahoma. The picture below was in the Wichita Falls paper. All credit for photo and text go to the paper.




SATURDAY - To top off my exciting week, I am going to Canyon to my nephew wedding. (Zane P is the son of my older brother, Zane K. My brother died in 1997 at age 43. He would have been proud of his son. ) Canyon is about a 5 hour drive one way. We will spend all night and come home Sunday.
MONDAY is REST. Then TUESDAY is my first day of work for the 06-07 school year.
Whew, I am tired reading this.

Just another day in Paradise

No, I don't live in on a tropical island, but I live where I want to so it is paradise. I live close to my children and parents to make me happy. The one in Kuwait is not close, but she will be home in less than a month. Today I am going to do an assessment of a co worker. She is a teaching assistant at an elementary school. She is going to college and struggling. I think she has dyslexia so this afternoon I will so an assessment for her college.
Tomorrow is my daughters 10 year class reunion from high school. There will be a party and I will keep my granddaughters. My niece, Shannon, also graduated with the class of 96. I will keep her 3 boys, ages 6, 3, and 1. I could do it by myself, but my sister from Midland is coming to help. Really she just wants to spoil them. We will have fun.

In the beginning

My daughters, Sarah and Melissa, have blogs, and encouraged me to start one. This blog will be about my family, job, and church. That is about all I do.
FAMILY
I have been married for 32 years and have 5 children and 7 grandchildren. My family will provide material for lots of posts.
JOB
I work for a school district so I will discuss the ends and out of my job.
Church
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I attend a small church that has an awesome outreach program. I teach children on Wednesday nights.

In the future I will write about each topic in detail. Especially my wonderful grandchildren.
Blessings until I write more. Jan

I couldn't resist putting pictures of my 2 year old twin granddaughters eating watermelon on the 4th of July.
