We'll Be In Touch

Saturday mornings used to be for sleeping in, College Gameday and football all day long. Not so much anymore! Knowing we didn't want to spend the entire morning inside and feeling the excitement of Fall rolling in (at least in the blog world if not in the actual temperatures) we made a spur of the moment decision to go visit a local farm! It was so much fun and I wouldn't be surprised if we went back before the season is over!  I got some cute video of all the slides, but I'm blogging via my phone right now so they'll have to wait! It's so fun to have a child and re-experience life through his eyes!! We're making ourselves a Fall Weekend Bucket List to be sure we soak up all the fun this season! And of course we got home in time to watch Clemson's win over Wake! Go Tigers!!!  Happy Fall Y'all!! 

I am very please to announce that I am now employed! And as has been the theme of these past few months, it was not what I set out to do, but I am so happy! I am now the Lead AM Teacher for the older 2 year-old class at Bright Start Learning Center! Though I graduated Clemson with a degree in Early Childhood Education and have been in and out of schools in many different settings, I've never had my own class! To say I'm not a little nervous or intimidated would be a lie, but I'm more excited than anything else. It is a relief to have the job search over and I can't say enough how happy that it landed in this (unexpected) place! When I first started job searching, I was going specifically for church or school administration - admissions, secretary, assistant director, etc. Having come off a year and a half of administrative work at K-Life, which I loved, I thought it would be a great fit. I had one interview with an international adoption agency that I was really ex...

We had a fabulous day celebrating our sweet bug! It was a low-key party with good family friends and some of the staff from Aaron's school. We were super lucky to have Canon's Godmother, Kim, fly in from New Orleans and another of our favorite New Orleans friends, Rebecca, drive up from her new home in Harrisonburg! We are so grateful for the people that love Canon and were able to celebrate with us! Thanks Kim for taking these pictures!    Happy Birthday Sweet Boy! We love you and we love being your parents! Thank you for being such an easy, joyful, laid-back baby! We've got his 1 year appointment on the 26th so I'll share his stats then, and I have a ton more fun photos of the weekend to share later!  

I'm finally linking up with some of my favorite bloggers for their 5 on Friday series. Make sure to check out A. Liz Adventures , Carolina Charm , Hello!Happiness and The Good Life Blog , they are fantastic women and I super enjoy reading about their lives. ONE - Wednesday was The Can-Man's first birthday! I'm not even ready to talk about how this happened...where did my baby go?!? We had a great day, playing in his new water table, setting up his new car seat, eating out and he got a cupcake from Buzz to celebrate! TWO - I know I am late to this game, but seriously. I watched the entire first and second season on Netflix last week. It is so good. Not sure I needed to rush through it considering I have to wait a whole month until Season 3, but I couldn't help myself! Aaron, however, is very glad I'm not glued to my phone anymore! THREE - Clemson Football is BACK! To say we were excited for Saturday's Game, and WIN, against G...
