Apple picking

It's hard to believe that September is over and we have just finished our first month of school. So far both of us has had a great time and are loving our jobs. I've also been able to play volleyball with some of the other teachers at HCS. It's a fun time, and I'm getting to know some of the other teachers. This week has gotten quite chilly, but overall the weather has been perfect! Two weekends ago the weather was so perfect we went apple picking. Here are some of the pics!

Eric's First Day of School

Well, I have finished the first 2 1/2 weeks of my new job and have been amazed at how fast time has flown by. For those who do not know, I am teaching 6th grade with Heritage Christian Schools. While this job requires a great deal of time (explaining my lack of posting to this blog) I couldn't be happier. Thank you to so many of you whose prayers have helped in bringing us to this point. Please praise God with us for situating Sarah and I in this position. The students are wonderful. I have one little girl who comes up to me every day and thanks me for teaching her and her class. The flat we are living in is small, but it fits us well. I can see God's fingerprint on every element of placing us where we are and am so thankful for His kindness to us.

Who is that crazy 6th grade teacher?

Freebies and Fall

So lately I've become obsessed with free samples... I never realized how many companies out there will give stuff away just so that you will go buy more...it must be effective otherwise why would they do it? Thanks to my friends Tracy and Jessi who have gotten me addicted to one more thing online! :-)

I'm loving the weather right now...it's funny around February and March, I can't wait to get out the flip flops and capris. Sometime around August, I begin to look forward to my fuzzy slippers and sweatshirts. So I am now enjoying cuddling up in my slippers, sweatshirt and fuzzy blanket. I'm weird... :-) The trees are beginning to change, the mornings are cool, and I can't wait to go apple picking (hopefully Saturday). If you have any good ideas for how I can use said apples so that they won't go bad, let me know...so I can have a game plan!

First Day of School

Well today was my first day teaching preschool and I must say...I thoroughly enjoyed myself. :-) They are all super cute and for the most part good listeners. The funniest thing that happened was when one little boy's mom came to pick him up and she said, "Did he have an accident?" I said that he hadn't. "Why is wearing his extra clothes then?" She asked him why he changed and he said ,"Cuz I wanted to." That little stinker had completely changed his clothes (including undies) during naptime. I had come in at the end of naptime so it wasn't my fault....but definitely funny.

I'll have Eric post his first day tomorrow...after he has his first day. :-) They start on Wednesday...lucky! :-)
