Fall is here!

The school year has gotten off to a crazy busy start.  I thought with Cash being gone full days for the first time that I would have free time on my hands.  So far that has NOT been the case.  I've been volunteering at his school a lot,  taking family and senior portraits, and refinishing our kitchen cupboards myself.  We've also had quite a few big school projects to work on.  It's taken some adjustment for Cash to transition from half day kindergarten to full day first grade.  His teacher this year has a different teaching style than his kindergarten teacher and Cash has a hard time sitting in his desk focusing for long periods of time.  He gets bored and wants to visit with the person next to him or he wants to move on to the next task.  Academically he's doing great though and I get positive reports from his teacher that she's amazed at how kindhearted Cash is.  Cash's school had a Grandparents' Day concert and strangely the only grandparents who could make it were the ones who live 2500 miles away.  Grandpa Eddy and Grandma Kathy flew in from Michigan.  We only get to see them about once a year so we tried to make the most of their time here.

While Grandpa and Grandma were visiting we went to a pumpkin patch.

Cash's school had some fun dress up days during homecoming week including superhero day, pajama day, and crazy hair day.

And, finally here is a recent picture of Cash at his horse riding lessons.

I have a bunch more pictures to post from Cash's first grade field trip and of Millie's birthday party.  Hopefully I'll get another blog post done later this week with all of that!
