Goings on....

Thanks for all the sweet comments about the flower pictures!! We have been very busy since school started. Sports are about to start too so we will be even more busy. I thought we were only going to have 3 in sports and one in cub scouts but Landon said he wants to play too! So I guess we will have ALL 4! Yeah! My dream come true when all four could play :) Katya will start her first soccer season so looking forward to lots of laughs. I am hoping to find some pink cleats too but no luck yet. I have been subbing some although the school systems have about stopped hiring subs because of all the lack of money and such. I guess I will have to count on those private schools;) We have had lots of produce ripening in the garden. It is wonderful! I love all the peppers, tomatoes and okra. Yummy!! We have also had some white eggplant. Today though I found some nasty hornworms. They are digusting and hard to find and even harder to get rid of! I had done very well with no bugs and no pesticides all summer so now I am going to start trying some organic remedies. It is a totally organic garden and been lots of fun! We will be planting winter gardens soon. We have had birthday parties too! Our family went to one this weekend and met a lot of professors from the university. There was tons of GREAT food and lots of international food even homeade pita bread! I went to my first board meeting the other day to try to get some water fountains at the kids' school (on the playground). I will keep you updated on that. I have been sewing a lot but haven't taken any pictures lately. I am making dresses for one of my friend's granddaughter who is going to be born soon. Did I also mention that I am taking a Russian course?? I love it!! Thanks to Mr. Jackson for watching Sydney Katya during my classes. I ride my bike to the class. My teacher is from Siberia and yes, is living now in South Georgia! WOW!! Talk about drastic change in weather :) I am just taking the course so hopefully I can improve my Russian and learn some more too! So far so good... So as you can tell we are staying very active and always doing something. I will try to post new pictures soon.
