And so it begins...

So, we head to meet Nanny and Papa this afternoon. Dakota is heading there to spend the week. She gets to finish her summer fun in Brevard. Dakota starts first grade on the 27th. Her teacher sounds great. Ms. Wilson is a Nationally Board Certified teacher, was Teacher of the Year at Lake Wylie, and from her websites looks like she has a lot of fun in her room. I think Dakota is up for a fantastic school year.

I have two more teacher work days before the kids head back and the school year begins for me. I meet my students tomorrow night. Hard to believe this is the beginning of my 12th year of teaching...7th in South Carolina. I am taking a Science journaling class this year, so I am excited to try new things. Next year my focus will be spelling! Still trying to decide when I would like to begin my EdD journey, but I know it is NOT now!

Ron continues to work hard at Palm Beach Tan. He is a store manager again. I admire how much time and effort he puts in at his job. Ron always gives 110%!

As for my photography business, things continue to go well. I am in the process of teaming up with a talented lady who does specialty cards. The idea would be to use me to photograph and her to create the cards with my pictures. We are hoping the holidays will bring a lot of business for the both of us! Details on this will follow in the next month. Of course, I have a couple pics to add from my latest session...
