Trick or Treat??? (is Shawna really blogging again?)

So I am finally back around. We have been remodeling our new "old" house and living in it at the same time. I barely have time to breath between unpacking boxes, little "projects," school, Jenna, and the dreaded laundry! I wish I had all this time to keep you all posted about my crazy life and I will try to do better. Tonight I am taking a break from working on lesson plans to spread a little joy......LOL!

I have a few new pictures of Jenna to share and a short little story or two.


1) For all of you who have known and loved my little Gizzy, he has been missing for over a week now and we are afraid he has become a victim to a coyote at our new house. We love and miss our little furry friend so much, we just feel blessed to have had him 5 1/2 years. :0( It is amazing how much you become attached to animals and how much your life just doesn't seem as full without them. I just believe that Jenna has her own little guardian angel dog.


2) (This is just for Stacey!) Jenna has lost the dreaded "PASSY!" We got rid of it last week and let me tell you that it was the BEST thing we ever did. She seems to have grown up 2 years in a week. She doesn't even ask for the nasty thing! The whining is so much less and the fits have decreased as well. I wish we would have done it weeks ago.....especially when I teach with a lady who lets her 8 year old have hers when she's had a bad day at school! AND NO I AM NOT KIDDING!


I'll leave you all with a few new pictures of Jenna & Sydney this weekend at the pumpkin patch.
Yes, we should have pulled her pants legs down!

Oh-she is sooooooooooo adorable. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Precious!
So sorry to hear about your dog. I am not a *pet* lover myself-but an *animal* lover-does that make sense? Meaning I don't like the responsbility but I cannot stand to hear about them being hurt, starved or neglected.
Congrats on the passy! J was almost 3 before hers *disappeared.*
We miss you!

Oh poor Gizzy!!! I'm so sorry to hear about him. That would just be absolutely devestating if something happened to our dogs. I know what you're going through right now. Congrats on the passy. Jenna's new pics are adorable! Text me your e-mail address and I'll send you pics of Clay. He's 10 weeks old now!
