Hey all,
First of all...I want to give a big birthday shout out to Benjamin Harvey which was on the 3rd of September and my wonderful sister, Sarah whose birthday was on the 7th! Well, surprise surprise Ben and I remain very busy. We usually stay at school until about 6:00 P.M. In fact...I'm writing this from school. I usually go into school around 7 and Ben follows shortly after that. Our classes are getting better. My children are starting to understand routines, walking in a straight line, not punching their neighbor, how to hold a pencil correctly, etc. Ben is still attempting to meet the needs of his 100 students who are all at different levels. He's a stud though, so I have no doubt that he will be able to pull it off.
We had a long day weekend which was absolutely amazing. One of the birthday presents I got for Ben was season one of the show, Chuck. Yep, pretty sure we watched the whole first season in three days. We are patiently awaiting the arrival of season two via Netflix. :) It has been very rainy here. The temperature has lingered in the high 40's low 50's. I would be ok if it stayed this temp all year. Ben is excited to get a snow machine...yes, they call them snow machines and not snowmobiles. I would be lying if I wasn't excited for him to get one. Anyways, life is good!
Things we miss:
Family
Cars
Applebees
The Minnesota Twins
Things we don't miss:
Paying for gas
Cars/driving in traffic
Target (ok maybe that's just me)
Going to a real grocery store.
That's all for now folks. We love and miss you all!
Ben and Anne
You are definitely missed in MN, but it sounds like you are settling in nicely. Have you got your house all situated the way you want? I really enjoy reading the updates, so keep them coming Anne and Ben, and know that you both are in my prayers. Take care, Ashley Smith
