Happy Family Day!!!

My amazing little girl:

Today

With Mommy, Maddie and Nana (that frown is because Mommy asked her to stop playing with her new DSi long enough to smile for the camera:))

And some pics from our summer:

Grading by Candlelight

Huge power outage in our region last night and I didn't want to fall behind in grading papers. Turns out that school is cancelled today, so I have plenty of time. It was 91 degrees in the house last night--at 10pm!

M. had a lot of fun taking pictures of Mommy working like a "Colonial" teacher.

First Day of School!

The girls started school yesterday.

A rainy, muggy morning!

Ava started kindergarten!

It's in the Mail

Homestudy agreement, etc. I'm still waiting on some documents, but I'm close enough I could get this off and going. I'm hoping to have my homestudy completed by the end of the month, but that might be a little optimistic.

Several Steps Closer. . .

Police Clearance Letter

Also accomplished this week: My mom and I were fingerprinted, I tracked down my daughter's teacher from last year and asked him to fill out the required form from my home study agency, got all my referencees lined up (most of them are school teachers, too, so I had to wait until we were back to work), and I sent paperwork for apostille seal. I am finally nearing the end of my dossier to-do list :)
