Summer of "09 going on to the fall

The smell of apple cider and lead pencils is back in the air as we go back to fall.All the leaves are turning into beautiful colors and falling. Horrah! For jumping in leaves! That is if it ever stops being wet for a bit, but this washing-o-ton Everyone just got back from a baby blessing! Our month old granddaughter or niece is adorable! Her name is Elena Marie Twitchell. We all enjoyed being able to see the baby being blessed and being able to hold her. School has started again for Colby and Shelby, they are now doing college or running start at the Everett Community College. They are loving it and are enjoying the opportunity to learn so much. Of course they are loaded with homework a lot but it is worth it they say because they have a goal of getting their associates by the time they are out of college. Shelby plans on going into dental work and Colby plans to be a history teacher. The classes they are taking are Psychology(together), Public speaking (separate), Intro to business (Shelby) and Anthropology (Colby.) So far they have only one major exam in Psychology and smaller test in other classes. Which they say are so much different than a normal high school test.But overall school is going well. They just went out and took their junior pictures even though they did not get any of the beautiful leaves they did get very nice pictures. Maybe next time. Everyone else is doing great, beside the cold bug has bitten us so it has gone around but besides that we are enjoying our newly found hobby of geocashing! We all love it. We have only done it a few times but it has been fun. And we plan on continuing it for a while now. Our latest adventure doing it was just nearby, and we were worried not to let anyone or "muggles"see us, it is kind of like a game. :) so we searched for it and Colby found it, it was pretty well hidden also. We even want to put one out ourselves...we will see how that goes. That is that until next time!
