<br />This is Aaron's first official back to school. He started kindergarten on Wednesday and I now have a new back to school tradition.

I have a new project. We sold Aaron's crib and the dresser with a hutch today. They never were my style but they were an excellent deal from my brother. We bought this dresser to replace it. One drawer needed repaired and the top piece had to be put back on. We are picking it up tomorrow. It would be too much labor to refinish it (what husband wanted) so, I am going to paint it navy blue and distress it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8Q7mAs7VLo-hwPFcELXYRB9nkjU2Ha11rX26hOtuuXLgZwsdcUZYA7vgJdMZfPOHiXpJIFVMKy5ykvgWZgmvoIE9LpTO4RbFmY2Urkq6bOd3hvPukLvFlkjokIF4byJhPbdLXHDAUwte/s1600/HPIM5874.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8Q7mAs7VLo-hwPFcELXYRB9nkjU2Ha11rX26hOtuuXLgZwsdcUZYA7vgJdMZfPOHiXpJIFVMKy5ykvgWZgmvoIE9LpTO4RbFmY2Urkq6bOd3hvPukLvFlkjokIF4byJhPbdLXHDAUwte/s400/HPIM5874.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495052600413555842" /></a><br /><br />The second hand store we bought this from is really creepy and dirty but things are very cheap!

The first time I held Aaron was a warm September afternoon. We got the call earlier that afternoon that after a long interview process, we had been selected to become Aaron's adoptive parents. We went to the store his foster family owned and his foster dad called and arranged for Aaron to come meet us.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUie1WL-RV3DJoxmQmBAOx84cY2gT7EdTxW5LBs1sWd_87a8e-tiEylXlOMwoAxOt_V0XEOfUYbHz-oHBIjD2p1oSL9Yh1W65BxRnYTSH2ynclkx8zzi4EI1-D5-BFuzbtOGooltm7qHr/s1600-h/Aaronbwhalloween%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUie1WL-RV3DJoxmQmBAOx84cY2gT7EdTxW5LBs1sWd_87a8e-tiEylXlOMwoAxOt_V0XEOfUYbHz-oHBIjD2p1oSL9Yh1W65BxRnYTSH2ynclkx8zzi4EI1-D5-BFuzbtOGooltm7qHr/s400/Aaronbwhalloween%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429743525022596178" /></a><br />He brings so much Joy to our lives! He is uncertain about getting bigger. This morning he told me he was almost big like me and then he said he wanted to stay little.

It was advertised on Freecycle and my husband traveled 45 miles to pick it up. It is 5 years old and in excellent shape except for some sun fading on the back. We have washed the slipcovers and they look great we just have to vacuum the rest of the upholstery and it will be ready to bring into the family room. I am so excited about our good luck! We have been looking for a denim section for 3 years. I'll post photos once it is in the familiy room. It retails for between $4,429.00 - $6,279.00.julie & joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10126526491632940761noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501582310897427677.post-47649196107029463372009-08-17T16:11:00.001-07:002009-08-17T16:19:41.948-07:00First Day of School<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb7CrG05pv7jJwzHzzFCnr5F1U_Hl-0qO0QWBlYYphUclKSKtY-XCsACWOQvOAmbDwkfsdjkmcUOG8XoGbPUMFxRh-t4iY3n1G2KqmfvaWLQrvfW7BQFPvUB-OqQpbjACNfntGBjjMcTx7/s1600-h/frist+day+of+school.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We are participating in the Rhea Lana's consignment sale the second weekend of August this year. I am excited to clear out the fall and winter clothing that is outgrown as well as some toys and other things he is too big for. If you have a Rhea Lana's near you, check it out.

Have you ever been so burned out that you just can't function? That's how we have been feeling.....for a while now. We have taught Sunday School for 6 years and we have really been quite tired for the last year. We haev really needed a change but have held on for the kids...well, this fall there is only one child in our group and we decided now is the time to make a change. I am taking on two other projects at church and I just need a break.julie & joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10126526491632940761noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501582310897427677.post-15991906386531096902009-07-06T19:53:00.000-07:002009-07-06T20:06:32.763-07:00Blog Hop favorite PhotoThese are two of my favorite photos. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqbVQ4KvWh6nz1WQMpAzGYpnTPDHidwykMPTaNe7UpZUipUeqsjkJRe_CLgYCmfaLmkd4REZ3BnB1zKd687Q0X6-yy1oZ858oq4dsKLKNZHtSIoVyufrvsI7vycAELZzLK7gkzsrWZH1yj/s1600-h/Humphrey_-11.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 229px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355547635078721634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqbVQ4KvWh6nz1WQMpAzGYpnTPDHidwykMPTaNe7UpZUipUeqsjkJRe_CLgYCmfaLmkd4REZ3BnB1zKd687Q0X6-yy1oZ858oq4dsKLKNZHtSIoVyufrvsI7vycAELZzLK7gkzsrWZH1yj/s320/Humphrey_-11.jpg" /></a> Aaron Christmas 2008.

College classes are out for the next week (who ever came up with the new schedule where we have a week between regular session and summer school.....it sucks!) but I am working on updating my syllabus for my summer course and then setting up my website for the 8 week session.<br />We renewed our foster care license this month which meant filling out paperwork, re-do finger prints, discovering that the state of Missouri lost our original file and now we have to provide all of those copies too......cleaning the house for the inspection, etc.<br />I am hoping for a break in June. I am working this June for the first time in 5 years. It is a huge adjustment to go from a 10 month contract to a 12 month contract. I dislike working in July more than June but it seems weird to not be preparing to shut down for several weeks and regroup.julie & joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10126526491632940761noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501582310897427677.post-27741995096553195312009-05-12T16:56:00.000-07:002009-05-12T17:03:16.966-07:00Difficult week<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHqDSG7u1NGx0JmTpnygHL62VS9b6afRc9hs2FvOkphTYuSWLzWXLkJRWliSHRUoCLP2Brg8uNZhe2qCUXdJJyb1LssSt5W0lujdAHBVzn3jY-r3YHRz-t0i831jj90L0lnjbREz2t_cxa/s1600-h/uncle+gary.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335091136258296434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 125px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 187px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHqDSG7u1NGx0JmTpnygHL62VS9b6afRc9hs2FvOkphTYuSWLzWXLkJRWliSHRUoCLP2Brg8uNZhe2qCUXdJJyb1LssSt5W0lujdAHBVzn3jY-r3YHRz-t0i831jj90L0lnjbREz2t_cxa/s320/uncle+gary.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><p align="center">In Loving memory</p><p align="center">Gary L.

I finally got my front porch cleaned off this morning (it just started raining again while I was taking photos). This is the view of our front porch from the street. Please excuse the tall grass, it has been raining here for 2 weeks! I got a few plants out in between rain but nothing major has been accomplished. We started painting the trim work a dark green and have painted the larger portions a golden color. You can't see it very well, but we added an Uppercase Living <a href="http://expressyourself.uppercaseliving.net/">http://expressyourself.uppercaseliving.net</a> "Welcome" above the house number on the porch. <br /><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbK0DzdVVuAyC0kMgMPPMEzIvJAq3jiylAp1E0-N5LmNRUshHU6WBUK3ySFk6LfP4RGRr7-a7wXWFfBnAEpn3nabmEyyDOOo_dCS8EjogIXYOG0EfYvmg1nXYUrhtlB3-eaRx-X3kn0TlG/s1600-h/100_1328.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332397845621803474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbK0DzdVVuAyC0kMgMPPMEzIvJAq3jiylAp1E0-N5LmNRUshHU6WBUK3ySFk6LfP4RGRr7-a7wXWFfBnAEpn3nabmEyyDOOo_dCS8EjogIXYOG0EfYvmg1nXYUrhtlB3-eaRx-X3kn0TlG/s320/100_1328.JPG" border="0" /></a> We put a small pond in front of the porch for Father's Day last year.

We have a cushion but since it is raining, we haven't brought it out. I have a small bakers rack that I fill with bird houses and plants. The blue bird house on it was made by my grandfather when I was a kid. I'm still thinking about what to put on the table.
