Long time, no write!
Boy, I haven't sat down long enough to write an actual blog entry in far too long. Not for a lack of spending time at my computer, I just never seem to make it over to Blogger because I'm busy writing for examiner.com or whatever. I just finished up a writing piece about adoption in NH for Parenting NH magazine as well, which kept me pretty busy for a while. That is slated to run in Novembers issue. And, of course, I'm still working at the shelter. I just celebrated my two year anniversary with the program, and have no plans of changing jobs any time soon, or even not so soon.
Hannah is doing really well - she's growing like a weed! I've been working on her Halloween costume a lot lately - I'm making her one this year! She's going to dress up as a monarch butterfly. I'll be able to post some pictures in a couple of weeks when we have our Halloween party at our Wednesday morning moms group.
We went apple picking at DeMeritt Hill Farm not too long ago, which was fun, but I think next time we'll check out another orchard in the area that has wagons, so I don't have to lug both Hannah and the apples at the same time. That makes for a very tired mommy.
John went back to work a little over a month ago, and so far, his school year is off to a good start. He's in the new building now, and his new facilities are really, really nice. He's also been busy teaching lessons outside of school, as well as playing with the Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra, Portsmouth Brassworks, and a few other organizations. He had applied for a conducting job with the Nevers Band, based out of Concord, but didn't get it. It kind of works out, though, because it would have been a lot of additional driving for him. Plus, I enjoy getting to see him now and then!
Hannah got glasses at the beginning of September. We discovered she is farsighted, on top of crossing her eyes (acquired esotropia). We got her some lovely purple ones that have no hinges or parts that will break, so she can't do much to hurt them. The two questions we get the most are 1) Are those real, and 2) How do you get her to keep them on?? It gets a little old after a while, especially the "Are those real?" Of course they're real!! You expect that I would fight with my 20-month-old to keep on her fake glasses? I'm not stupid.
Anyway, get off that little rant. I wanted to put up some pictures, but I can't because Blogger won't let me right now... Hopefully again soon!
