a huge announcement
Surprise!!!!
I have started a 365 photo project on my favorite subject-- Shelby. You can find a link to it at the top of this blog titled Shelby 365. This is in an effort to help me with my photography skills. I plan to spend two minutes a day trying to take a somewhat decent picture.... as opposed from my current strategy of clicking and praying for something decent. Enjoy!!

Hipppp Hipppp Hoooooooray!!!!
Mr. D...being fabulous as usual...took the big journey into the Best Buy on tax free weekend and bought me a new laptop! I imagine it was like going into battle at 4am on black Friday. Never the less, I am ever so thankful for his efforts.
That said--- a blog post! Sorry, not one with photos because I do not have photos on this computer.
We are having a fabulous summer-- and it is winding down at a rapid pace. We only have a week and a half before school starts again. And, in the mist of that week and a half- we have a not-as-big-as-last-year second birthday party! This weekend we will be swarming with grandparents, aunts, uncles, family, friends and more! I can hardly believe how fast this two years has passed!
I am also now in full "getting ready for school" mode-- again thank heavens for a working computer. This will be a big year for me. In addition to my teaching, and room parent duties for Shelby's class. I am also in charge of ALL of the school's social events. Whew! I am looking forward to the year ahead, but can say with all honesty that the summer off has been great for me!
I have worked all summer on organizing our home. Thanks to a fellow blogger friend of mine I have implemented a toy rotation system that has literally changed our lives. We were swimming in toys and now we have 12 toys each week in the main living area. It has made everyone happier and within the span of a month Shelby will get the opportunity to spend time playing with every one of her toys. She is busier, the house is cleaner and we are all less cluttered in every way!
Shelby has also spent the summer learning her letters, letter sounds and numbers 0-9. She is a whiz. I plan to make a video of it soon. She is impressive for 23 months.
We are enjoying our food co-op that has been organized through our church. Each week we get a food basket of local fresh fruits and vegetables. We have had a summer of wonderful meals....and even some things put up for the winter. I have also experimented with some new recipes, but nothing blog worthy.
I have spent the summer reading! I love to read but it has fallen on the back burner over the last few years. I am calling this my summer of the trendy trilogies. My Kindle has really gotten a work out!
OK- more later. I have a bunch of people coming in less than a week and there are certainly things around here that need to be done!
More later- thanks for sticking around!!!
