Whoa Auntie JoJo!


We headed out to West Ottawa Football game last weekend. We had a great time, but we weren't just shouting "Go WO!" We were also thinking "Whoa, Auntie JoJo!" On this night, Dan and Jordan told us they are expecting their first child, due in April. We were super surprised. Brighton understood the concept a lot more than we thought he would. He immediately said he wanted the baby now, and has excitedly talked about the baby nearly every day since then. He tells anyone that will listen, and they of course think he is talking about me having a baby, but he isn't...it's Auntie JoJo.
Congratulations Dan & Jordan!

Vote for WO!

Cow Pie & Pizza Pie

We recently headed out one of our favorite spots in Northern Michigan: The Country Dairy. There is lots to see and do here, but we spent a lot time trying to explain to our son how cows poop on the ground, but he can't.

The other very memorable part of this trip was The Country Dairy added on, and they now make and serve pizza. They have several unique pizza options on their menu. We're HUGE FANS!

Back to School 2010

I haven't written the proverbial "Back to School" blog post yet. So much to do, and so little time. Thankfully I did get some help with my "Back to School" to-do list this year from my boys. Maybe we'll have to make this an annual tradition, what do you think? Hopefully next year we won't have to get out the ladder.
The "Back to School" transition for us went well this year. Jon has stepped up at home. Bright is loving life with his grandmas and friends while I'm at school. I am adjusting to a 6 hour day on a semester schedule, but I do have a student teacher. I also have really great kids; my days have been great.
