catch up

I realized the other day that I didn't post the whole month of September.  And here it is over halfway through October without a post, too.  Does anyone even read this blog anymore?  I guess I can't blame anyone if they don't, since I never post!  I don't think there are many, but I guess for the sake of my family's history, I do want to keep it up....

The girls just finished the first quarter of school.  They both like it and are doing fine.  We had parent teacher conferences this week and received good news about their progress.  We are very proud of them both.  

Rebecca loves doing her homework!  

This was taken at a social event at Rachel's school.  I wish it wasn't blurry, but I love how excited Rachel looks.  Definitely something I love most about Rachel, is her enthusiasm and zest for life.

Rachel became a Junior Girl Scout this fall.  This is the first time I'm not leading her troop.  

The original plan was that I would lead a troop for Rebecca.  But then cancer came on the scene and I decided this wasn't the best timing for that.  We're still waiting for a troop to form for her.  

I finished radiation a couple of weeks ago, so I'm enjoying some freedom in the mornings while the girls are at school.

Brian took the girls to Mammoth Cave with Rachel's friend, Taylor, her sister, and their dad.  They had fun, though they were all exhausted when they got home!

And next week we go to Disney World!  We surprised the girls recently with the news, and they are beyond thrilled.

Today and tomorrow there is no school because of conferences.  I took advantage of the day with most kids in school and took the girls to COSI.  These was a visiting Lego exhibit, which they loved.

Oh, and this picture makes me laugh--it's in the "Progress" section at COSI, where you go back in time.  Rebecca has never seen a real phone booth or pay phone, but here she looks like an old pro at using one, doesn't she?

So that just about sums up October, September and August in the World of Weed!
