Fun in Champaign!

A fun day at the apple orchard!

The Cowboy birthday party was the best! Yee-Ha!

Silly face!

October

Fall is here, even though the temps are hotter than ever! Isaac and I just went and visited with Erika (h.s. friend) and her boyfriend Andy. They are visiting Erika's sis, Jen, and the family for a few days. Shawna, Erika and I were best of friends in h.s. When I was in my car accident, they were sooooo there for me. They visited with others when I was in the hospital in Decatur and rehab. in Champaign (92). Shawna is a principal this year at a school in Champaign (I'm so proud of her!). She has had a rough start, though. Her dad is in very bad shape at a hospital in Champaign. We're praying for him (his lung collapsed). Tonight, I guess I'm the bearer of bad news. My grandma has been hospitalized this week with a bad blood infection. I will try and see her this week after work.
I got a new digital camera and tonight I'm going to try and figure it out so I can post.

Have a cool day!

New week!
I've been pulling weeds in our new grass out front this evening. Isaac and I went over to visit with Great Grandma and Grandpa. He was a ham, as always. We went on a little walk around the neighborhood. Back at home, Grandma found a trolley car from San Fransisco she wanted to show Isaac. He kept saying, "No, it's a train!" I was teasing him, saying back that it was a trolley. My grandpa said, "Did you see that? How he cut his eyes at you?" I guess he's a regular, slightly rebellious kid. I suppose it's hard to avoid. He's a good boy, though.
I just woke Isaac up with my typing so I have to stop now.

What a rainy day! We took our pictures to be developed today. I'll pick them up tomorrow. Hopefully the animals we saw at the Omaha Zoo turn out. We had a great time visiting! It was super to see old friends and a road trip is always fun, too. Isaac has harvest allergies like the rest of us. Everyone I talked to at work today had a terrible headache, like me. The fields will be cleared soon, right? One little student of mine had to go to the emergency room last night with a throat infection, most likely from the air. Yikes!
F3 went well Wed. night. Seemed like there were more people this year. I had about 10 kids. Here's another thought: the chipmunk was eating the birdseed again and he took a flying leap from the top of the deck railing to the ground. He went splat! but ran under the shed. I feel really bad for him, I hope he didn't get hurt too bad. He was a nuiscence but that little rascal could've probably lived all winter on the seed he had packed in his cheeks before the leap. Sorry guy. I need to get some corn for the little fellas so they will be fed this winter, that is if they generally can jump like that. Have a happy day.

It's official... our computer crashed. Well, I wasn't able to save many photos, considering. At least most of what were good have been printed.
Good news... we have a new computer now!
