We have been busy settling into our rhythms of the new school year ... and just like that, it's already November.
In August, we adopted a Border Collie/Kelpie puppy and we named him Bear.
In September, on the first day of school ...
Sienna is in 4th grade this year and Forest started kindergarten. I'm still teaching 2nd grade, where my heart seems to belong!
In October, we made our annual trip to our favorite pumpkin patch, Gordon Skagit Farms.
For All Hallows' Eve, we had two little pirates. We went trick-or-treating in our cozy, new neighborhood and the kids were pleased to learn that many of our neighbors gave out full-sized candy bars!
In October, we also found a new home for Bear with our school secretary, where he will live on lots of acres and be able to roam more freely. He was a sweet puppy and we loved him dearly. He was just not the right puppy for our home. He will be a sweet country dog.
And, lastly, in November ... we had our first snow! The kids were up very early to make a wee, little snowman.
We are looking forward to the many joys this Winter will bring us and to lots and lots of hygge in our new home!
