Welcome Back

Aeraci and her pumpkin at the pumpkin patch



At the pumpkin patch, Aeraci rode the pony for all of 10 seconds before she got scared, but who doesn't get scared on their first pony ride?




It's been a while since I've updated our blog, things have gotten busy around here. I went back to work at the end of September. I'm working at the local school district as a substitute teacher. It is great being back in the classroom! I did not realize how much I missed it. I usually work 3 days a week which is perfect. As for Aeraci, she stays home with grandma and daddy. This works out great as Aaron is on swing shift and is home during the day. In addition to working, I am still active and serving on the leadership team for PWOC (Protestant Women of Chapel). And if that wern't enough, I just started a Young Adult Women's bible study in our home Tuesday nights. So as you can see, pretty busy.










As for Aeraci, she is getting so big. She is 15 months now and such a joy. She is still not quite walking, but she recently started pushing a little shopping cart around the living room. Her vocabulary is improving as well. She now can identify and say "dog" and of course "mama", "dada" and "nana".










We are loving watching her personality develop, and seeing her turn in to a true little girl! I say this because when we were in Washington in September, Grandma Owens had a baby doll, and Aeraci loved cuddling with it, so after we came home we bought her a doll and she loves to carry it around and snuggle. She also calls her "ba- bay". In addition to little girls and dolls, Aeraci is also a future Miss America. Granmda gave her a tiara to play with, and she has a beaded necklace from Aunt Tiny, and she will pull both the necklace and tiara out of the toy basket and put them on at the same time!!! She will even blow kisses and give a "pageant" wave!! We love it!
