School's in...and other stuff

RCS kids went back to school a few weeks ago meaning I am back to work and no longer a stay at home mom. I am so excited to be teaching again at one of the best kept secrets in Rockingham County.
 Here are a few pics of my room:



Under no circumstances do I post pictures of my students on Facebook or on my blog, so you won't find anything like that here. :)


So what else?? Riley is busy playing at Nana's house (Josh's mom) or Grandma's house (my mom) getting into everything and having a blast I'm sure. He probably doesn't even think about me, but I think about him and wonder what he is up to when I'm at work.


Riley was baptised at my parent's church on August 13th. Here is a pic of him in his cute little outfit I ordered online and prayed hard that it would fit him. (It did) He did very well through the baptism and let the minister carry him around the church for everyone to see him.


Grandpa has been coming over in the evenings again to hang out with Riley so I can get some work done. Here they are playing with Riley's zoom racer!


Hurricane Irene came and went, with some humidity to spare for a warm afternoon at the pool. I wasn't really in the mood for a swim, but Josh and Riley had a blast in the pool at our exclusive Cates family hurricane party!

Something else new we tried - Sunday Evening in the Park! The music was great and Riley had a blast running around everywhere. We finally managed to get him to sit down for about 5 seconds before he was off again. Josh, myself and Josh's mom took turns running after him for the other hour and a half that we were there!

Here is a picture of Riley at our neighbor's birthday party at The Little Gym. He's already a pro at walking across the balance beam thanks to his nana and Miss Carolyn at Tumblebees this summer! Being a Tumblebees girl myself, it was neat to see another gym. I even snuck in a cartwheel, handstand and a backhandspring.  We are so thankful that Greyson and his mommy invited us to his party.

Fall is upon us so we will see what new adventures we will get into.

Love,
Sarah, Josh and Riley
