We Heart Fall

*** BIG BABY NEWS ***
We have an update in the Baby 2008 Watch: I just found out this weekend that the Hoopers are expecting not one - but two babies. That's right, another set of twins for the Cincinnati area. So, Sean and Julia - I'm sure you will have lots of advice for the new parents for when the babies arrive in April. Pat and Erin - as you know, I can't wait to play Auntie to the new ones.
*** OCTOBER SHOUT OUTS ***
Happy Birthday to Rudd. We hope having two new little granddaughters is helping you to feel young again.
Happy Birthday to the posse from school: Shaznin, Laura, Goziam, Candace.


So far, fall is off to a fabulous start for the Pfirrman girls. Trips to farms, time spent in the woods, hanging out with friends new and old - what more could you ask for? Midterms are over and I have fared quite well - all As so far. Miss M is doing quite well in third grade in spite of a peanut related scare last week. For those who we haven't talk to in a while, Maddie is in karate this year. She loves it and is getting ready to take her yellow belt test and thanks to our visit with the Hoopers and the Hodges, she'll be able to impress her teacher with the ever popular "wax on, wax off" and "crane" techniques.


Here are some pics to enjoy.
Mom and Maddie - taken by Karen Hodge shortly after Maddie rode a donkey. Must be why she's making that goofy grin.











Maddie's big pumpkin. It only took 40 minutes to find.




"My pumpkin rocks!"



Maddie and Jillian, my friend Adam's daughter, during a hike with some people from class. We explored the wonder of Yellow Springs. No, not the hippies - Glenn Helen.

Another Day, Another Test

It's midterm time. The first was last week. Two more this week. Plus writing papers. Plus finishing the development stage and persentation of my assessment tool. Plus making my first video for my interviewing class. I still wonder how I'm going to get it all in in such a short amount of time. And did I mention that I still have to continue reading new material. AAAAAA! It's at times like this that I wonder what as really so bad about writing about trees and the people who cut them down.

More later when the weight of midterms is lifted.

Love you all
Jami
