I have been quite busy lately. With school starting so does all the extra activities. We have soccer two nights a week, Teagan is in tap dance classes one night a week, and Briley started back to Church choir. We have something every night of the week. With home work, packing lunches, and keeping up with the cooking and cleaning, I am quite busy. If you keep reading, you will see that I will only be getting busier...check out the photo at the end of this post to find out.
We had great weather for the fair this year. Briley entered some crafts for the first time this year. She won a blue ribbon on her horse latch hook wall hanging! She was very excited and won $4 for the blue ribbon. She also got a 3rd place ribbon on her pot holder, and a 3rd place on her beaded necklace and bracelet set. Way to go, Briley!
We took in most of the animal shows and spent a lot of time in the 4-H areas. Next year Briley will be old enough to take an animal. She keeps saying she wants a goat, but she also wants a rabbit. I hope to talk her into just a rabbit for her first year. We will see!
Of course, the girls had to take in all the fun fair rides and attractions. Teagan begged every day to do something. She loved the jump house and riding on the pony.
Briley was more into big thrills and loved the bungee jump thing she does every year. This year, she was able to do two continuous back flips at one time. She also could do a forward flip.
The girls thought it was cool to be able to sit in a tractor tire.
Teagan on the carousel horse. She loved going on rides!
Briley and her cousin, Emma jumped right on the Sling Shot, which took them straight up probably 3 stories high, and then dropped them straight to the bottom. They did this ride once...they both said, not again!
Our Puppy, Zoey turned one! Happy Birthday, Zoey.
And...here is why I am only going to get busier. I bought a house! I get possession mid-November. It is much bigger than what we are living in now. We can't wait to be able to have more room. The girls are excited. Big changes ahead for us.

Just saw your blog and wanted to let you know that I too am a single mom of a Chinese daughter, do a lot of work with the Help Me Grow program and live in central Ohio! I'd be interested in knowing how it is to have two daughters as a single mom - now that mine has been home a year I am starting to thing about a sister...
