K5 and other adventures

So, it’s been a little while since I blogged. I was doing good for a little bit there, but life had to get in the way and slow me down. In the last couple of weeks even more has changed. I turned 30 (boo) and Brady has started kindergarten. He’s doing really well and so far he LOVES his new daycare and school. His teacher is Mrs. Langston and she’s young and soft spoken and sweet. With any luck Brady will continue to like school for many years. I’d be grateful if he did enjoy school because he’s got a LOT of it left. I remember thinking about it when I was in elementary school and thinking that I would be so old when I finally finished. 30 was like a make believe thought that would never happen. I wonder sometimes if Braden has ever considered things like that.

Well, we’re officially dog foster parents! To a 2 year old Tibetan Spaniel named Autumn. She’s the sweetest little angel! I think this gives me the opportunity to love a new animal without the decade or more of responsibility that comes with animal ownership. We’re fostering her through Peace Love & Dog Paws http://www.peacelovedogpawsrescue.com/ here in Birmingham. They’re a great group that’s saving a lot of needy animals. It’s an organization that my friend Diana is closely associated with through her volunteer work with them and her mission of love has become something that’s rubbed off on her closest friends. Love Diana, love her fur babies. Here’s a picture of sweet Autumn, who was recently spayed, she’s got all her shots, & crate trained (so far she seems to be house broken. No accidents!):

And the other news we have is that Brady starts his 2nd season of soccer next week. Yay! Fall soccer will be fun I’m sure. There are 6 kids on his team, Braden & 3 others were all on the same team last season so I’m sure that’ll make him happy. Of course he’s got the same coach too which is wonderful. Coach Jordan is great with the kids. I’m definitely looking forward to soccer! Of course football season is about to start, so with any luck Braden will get to go to his first football game this year. There is so much to look forward to! I can’t wait!!
