It has been a busy August and beginning of Sept. August was full to the brim with things to do and not enough time to get them done. I had workshops and meetings to attend every week. Since I got new carpet in my classroom I essentially had to start from scratch getting my classroom ready for school.Brian's mom turned 75 in August and planned her own birthday party for all to attend who could. It was a fun party on August 9th.
We were in charge of the Sunderland reunion this year and had committed to redoing the Sunderland directory. Donna and I spent a considerable amount of time working on it and Kay was responsible for making sure we had all the food we needed. We had a good reunion and voted to have a 'cousins only' reunion next year.
At school I have spent more than my share of long days and nights preparing my room and lessons. We also have a new reading program this year and more hoops to jump through for the district. I also committed to attaining my ESL (English as a Second Language) endorsement this year. I should be writing a 3 page paper now instead of working on my blog.
Charlotte Mae was blessed on the Sept. 7th. Marc and Jenny both bore their testimonies of the gospel and their joy in having Charlotte in their family. They planned the family dinner after at Brian's mom's home. It was a day of love and family.
