School has started, the weather is colder and we all have colds so FALL is officially here.
Summer is my favorite time of year, most think it's too hot but for me it's pretty perfect. Don't get me wrong Fall is beautiful with the leaves changing into reds, yellows and oranges and especially the PUMPKIN PIE. All the seasons bring something new but I love Spring and Summer colors best.
I had the opportunity to walk with my family this last Friday for the "Light the Night Walk" which raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society. Our family raised over $600 which is really impressive for a bunch of poor people. Thanks to all those who donated. I received a special "Survivor" t-shirt, I was very excited to be one of the many survivors in attendance.
The last year has been a trial but I feel we have pulled through pretty well. Previously, I never had the opportunity to really volunteer at Kira's school. This year with no work and no major health issues I am able to actually be a Room Mom for Kira's class and volunteer weekly in Maci's class. I look forward to both with great anticipation. I am grateful to Ben and what he does for us so that I am able to be apart of the girls lives all day everyday.
We are a very lucky family and have a great time enjoying everyday we have.
Happy Fall everyone!
