September...I am ONE!!!

Well, what a busy September it has been!!  I did indeed get my room ready for the first day of school...thanks to Mom and Syd!!  It was pretty hectic and has been a lot of work learning and planning 4 brand new subjects!  Things are finally settling down a little bit, but I am sure looking forward to next year when I have been through all of this once!! 
Lily had a great first birthday...or should I say 3 great first birthdays!  We celebrated with my family while we were camping over labor day weekend. It was lots of fun!!  Then we celebrated on her actual birthday with Gma & Gpa T, Auntie Pauline, Great Gma Amie, and some great neighbors and friends from Upton.  We had our little duplex full of people.  And the next weekend we traveled back to Sioux Falls for a wedding of our good friends and former :( nextdoor neighbors.  This gave us the opportunity to celebrate with our friends and family from Sioux Falls for birthday party #3.  Lily got spoiled during her week long celebration!! 
She has also learned lots of new tricks.  She is not only walking....but running...ALWAYS & EVERYWHERE!!  She now has 8 teeth and is eating anything she can get her hands on.  She loves to dance and sing and does so anytime she hears any kind of music!  She is liking it here in Upton.  She loves her little neighbor friends, Brooke and Paige, who come ask if Lily can play about everyother day. (Brooke would come everyday, but her mom told her she can only come everyother!) She also loves her daycare lady, Cindy! It is just Lily and her little friend, Hadley who is 2 months.  We got really lucky once again with daycare!!  And we love being close to Gma & Gpa T and the rest of the cousins and Aunties...but miss our east river friends and family still lots and lots!  We have an extra bedroom and are ready for guests ANYTIME!!!! 

I  love to read!!

July & Aug Update

Well what a busy last month or so!  We got all moved to Wyoming.  Before we left we had the chance to spend a weekend with the Wilson crew at Lewis and Clark.  We had a great time!!
Packing was a little challenging with little missy unpacking everything that I packed!!  She was crawling and climbing into everything.  Then she figured out that she could walk with a little toy to push!!  It only took a few days until she was taking a few steps and now she is practically running!! Amazing how fast they figure those things out!!  She finally got her two front teeth so she no longer looks like a vampire!! 
She is a little busy body, but loves her books and likes to read them to us...even during church!!  She loves to dance and sing...she never stops making sound!! (Loudly!!) 
We are enjoying Upton.  Pete likes his new role as an administrator.  And I ended up getting a teaching job...TODAY! (School starts in 6 days!!!)  I was just going to be a teacher's aide, but the MS Social Studies teacher decided (the first day of inservice!) that he wasn't going to teach this year.  So I interviewed on the 2nd day of inservice for the job and found out that night (tonight) that I got the position.  It will be a great pay raise...Wyoming actually pays their teachers...but a lot more time than I was thinking I was going to be putting in this year.  Very excited...but nervous that I won't be ready in time!  I'm sure it will all work out! 
Hope all is well...enjoy more pictures!!

Happy July 4th!!
