Birthday Milestone!
Yesterday was my Grandma's birthday.
I'm going to refrain from stating her age because she may get upset with me (wink)when she reads this, as she doesn't like all of the attention.
She looks fantastic and you'd never guess anyway.
So what did she do to celebrate this birthday milestone?
She took a ride on a Harley!
In honor of her birthday, I've decided to list my top 10 favorite things about her.
10) Family is, and always has been priority. She and Grandpa were so involved in all of our activities then and now.
9) She volunteers her time to help others.
8) She golfs (and tried to teach me many years ago-wish I would have paid attention).
7) She's competitive and stubborn (both strong family traits that are well-suited for game nights)
6) Hot fudge sundaes, homemade pizza, butter cookies, and buckeyes!
5) All of my memories from spending days & nights at her house growing up (swimming, gardening, cards, playing with Tara's barbies, watching cars go by on CR 8, walking to Krider Gardens, the list goes on and on)
4) Traditions (Easter egg hunts, Pumpkin farm trips, nativity plays at Christmas, Cubs games just to name a few)
3) She loves the Cubs (even after all of these years of waiting and wishing).
2) I love to watch her love on my kids. They call her G.G.
1) I admire her for the way she has lived her life and raised her family with Christ at the center.
Hope you had a fun birthday yesterday Grandma! Glad we could celebrate with you.

Kindergarten
And you're off...
You got on the school bus for the first time this morning and as the bus drove away, I had tears in my eyes.
You were confident and anxious. It helped that 5 others from the street got on at the same time (3 in your class).
In a few minutes you'll be settling down in your class getting ready for the day. I can't help but be nervous that you will get to all the places that you are supposed to go today without any trouble. The teachers assured us yesterday at Orientation that they've never lost a child. The system works, but this is my first experience, so forgive me if I'm a little nervous for the first few days. I'll probably tell you 100 times to follow the teacher and listen with open ears. Just bear with me, I'm your Mama, so you'll hear that a lot from me.
We've taught you about how to be a well behaved young lady, but now you're on your own. I'm so anxious to hear how the first day goes and to watch you develop over this next year.
Enjoy your first whole day! The hours can't go fast enough until I get to pick you up and hear all about it.
I love you,
Mommy

Annual Applesauce Activities
It's that time of year...Homemade Applesauce!
A few weeks ago, we gathered our transparent apples and set up shop in the kitchen. It was a family affair.
The kids helped wash the apples and Avery and Jon were a big help throughout the whole process (until they bailed on me a few hours into it to go hang out with the neighbors)
Avery is such a big helper and wants to be involved. Austin is our official taste tester...trying to sneak in a taste at any opportunity!
Last year, our applesauce supply lasted us through February. We made twice as much this year, so that will hopefully get us through to next summer. Though we've already finished two of the containers!
