Been awhile

It has been sometime since I posted last. We have been so busy and I have had to get used to a new routine. Ally has started bringing homework home and is learning to read. I am so proud of her. This morning she picked up the book we were working on and just started reading. I am so excited for her! The teacher is sending very light reading homework home, pronunciations and such. I have phonics books and Ally and I have been working with those also. She is doing so well.
John turned 31 on the fifteenth, can't believe I am married to such an old man! Still, gotta love him!
A good friend of mine, Jesse, gave birth on the 17Th to a beautiful baby girl! I am so excited for them! Congrats! And Caitlin turned 6 yesterday! WOW we got a lot of October babies and the month isn't even over yet!
My classes are going pretty well. I am trying to juggle school work around Ally's and Matt's schedule. It is interesting. My computer is giving me fits and threatening to do something I don't want it to but I am slowly chugging along.
I have started volunteering in Ally's class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before I go to class. She loves it when I am there and I love being a part in that area of her life. Ally also started Girl Scouts last week! She is so excited and I am too! She is a Daisy and she is going to be using my old daisy sash that I wore. I am too stoked for words.
John and I have sort of slipped into a routine on Sunday nights and it is cracking me up. I started watching "Desperate Housewives" on Sunday night a month or so ago after the kids went to bed and the last couple of time John has sat down with me and watched it or has a magazine and "reads" it. It is our time and ironically enough it is a chick show! lol
This morning John and I got the start of a life! We were all sleeping in bed, Ally had moved into ours at some point, and we heard this loud Crack BOOOOOOM ! and the entire house shook! I looked at the clock and it read 5 AM then we heard the next BOOOM! and the entire house shook again only this time it lite up with light! It was a thunder and lightening storm right above our house! It was so loud that the bed was shaking from the booms! I haven't ever been directly under it before and Ally slept right through it, how I don't know. Wow what a way to wake up!
'till later
