quick catch up!

since i last blogged we celebrated Emma's 6th birthday, with our visitors from Ireland namely my cousin and her hubby and also my Mom and Dad. This was their first time back in the states in 30 yrs!!!!! it was great to have them here and show them around a bit!
My mom and Dad will be back after Christmas for a while before we send them to the MTC!
For Emmas Birthday we started a new tradition. i wanted to wait until she would enjoy it so for her 6th birthday we went to get a manicure and a pedicure! Emma Loved it! as did her Granny. It was Granny's first time too! anyway i hope this is a special thing that Emma and I can do every year!

My parents then left for New Zealand on the 3rd Nov, my cousin and hubby left to go back to Ireland in the 4th and then Matt left to go to the UK on the 7th! it was very strange to have a full house and then it was just Emma and I!

Thankfully Matt was gone for just over a week instead of the 2 weeks to 4 months we were expecting! so i wasnt lonely for long!


I guess the other big massive huge news is... Wednesday will be Emma's last day of school! we have enrolled her in a K12 home-based school with me as the learning coach!

You've been busy and are about to get busier!!! Good Luck with the home schooling, I've watched "Are you smarter than a fifth grader" and I am definitely NOT. Iknow I could never home school anyone.

The Birthday tradition sounds wonderful, it will be something that she looks forward to every year.
