Hi! Just thought I had better post so people won't think the Suttons dropped off the face of the earth. We are just busy adjusting to being back at school. I have some sweet sixth graders this year.....3 sets of them for 2 classes each. I think we are going to have a great year this year and for that I am so glad!! I don't want to say too much more and jinx things. More on my classes later on.
Ebeth has three teachers this year in 5th grade and she likes them all. One of the teachers she had last year. She says 5th grade is easier than 4th grade so far. Em has two teachers in grade 2 and loves them both. She has Ms. H. for the third year (she keeps moving up with the kids) and she also has Miss Miley (that's her last name----it's not Cyrus). She didn't have any homework the first week and just had a little today. She's happy about that. :)
Em lost yet another tooth the other day (I promise to put pictures here soon of her) and she got 3 dollars this time from the tooth fairy.
Hubby is doing fine too----I know I never seem to mention him but he does exist. :) We love him, we just don't talk about him all the time. He did, however, send me some gorgeous flowers to school last week with a note that said "have a great year!--love, steven" So, he's a keeper!!!
I've kept him for 12 years now, guess I'll let him hang around for more. :) really, he's a wonderful dad and hubby. :)
Ok, let me run for now. I am going to post pictures one day I promise. I know it's boring to just read isn't it???

School starts soon......Boo!!!
Thought I had better write a quick post so people won't think I decided to move to Nashville and leave my family! I got home from the Sue/Petunia visit Sunday and just haven't stopped since.
I sure miss my hugs from little miss Petunia though.....I will download some cute photos of her soon I promise. I also promise some pics of miss Em with no teeth (and she has yet another loose tooth). I called Susan and she went back to the doc on Wed of this week and she is now in a real cast. She has to stay off her foot like she has been doing (she's a very good patient and listens well to the doc and her caretakers) at least until her next appt which isn't until August 11th. The doctor was/is pleased with everything though. Sue says that Petunia is getting tired though of her mom not being able to do things with her and for her.
On the home front here, the girls have been going to Mission camp at our church this week. Today is the last day. Their mission today is to hand out cold bottled water to the homeless. They have done so many good deeds this week just around the Baton Rouge area.....they have learned so much about helping others too. I am proud of them. Ms. Caroline, our children's director at our church is wonderful. She is always doing great programs with our kids.
The kids also get to go swimming today after the mission work.
While the kids have been in mission camp, I've been going up to my school to get my room ready for the start of school. Which, by the way, starts next friday for the kids---August 8th---way too early for me!!!! I have to officially be back on August 6 and 7th. I'm already overwhelmed trying to get things done. Remember, I have been off since December. I might have forgotten how to teach???? You think??? Maybe the 20 years I've done it will come back to me.
Everything will get done. In the meantime, my house is a mess... I can't seem to get my school room done and keep the house straight at the same time. Just can't.
Anyway, i've posted more than I meant to post. Need to make some coffee and try and get the girls up. Our days of sleeping in are pretty near over. When school starts they have to get up by 6:30 and we leave by 7 each day. Boo hiss!!!! My two are NOT morning people.
Anyway, look for pics soon.
Have a good weekend everyone!!!
