There has been a lot going on around the Calvert home:
- Emma started Kindergarten the end of August
- I went to CA for a scrap book retreat with Julie
- Emma acquired a black eye while at school (and I was in CA)
- The air conditioner downstairs quit working (yes, we have two a/c units - one upstairs and one down)
- Emma also started taking tennis lessons and doing really well.
- I started a Beth Moore Bible Study on Wednesdays and loving it
So, I'm taking the lazy way out on some of this :) to hear about my get away with Jules, go
here she did a much better job recapping the weekend than I could have done.
Emma was out on the playground when she and another child ran into each other. I'm not sure if I completely understand the whole story as Emma says her face hit the cement, but in this picture you can see on her right eye it looks a little black and blue. Her teacher, Mrs. Baker, said she was such a trooper and didn't even complain.
As you can also see in this picture, she's painting pottery. Yes, that is a monster truck she is working on. And by the way, it turned out awesome! While I was in CA Emma and daddy went pottery painting, which is something she enjoys.
The a/c was fixed in a matter of hours. Thankfully we did not need a new unit but some gadgets and such needed to be replaced, tightened or something like that. All I care about is that it works. However, I am starting to see signs of fall. The weather is cooling off and today we saw some trees starting to turn colors. Aaahhhh.
Emma is also enjoying her tennis. She just finished two lessons, with her coach, Matt, and seems to be really enjoying it. Emma has even been practicing at home with daddy. I'm hoping she found her "thing." It would be so fun to have her play and then her and I, and daddy, can go to the courts and play.
shopping. Saw two cowboys, both at Target.

Today is a school day, but Emma's got this cold and last night she was up 3 times blowing her nose and then could not go back to sleep until 3 a.m. So, being the loving, caring, mommy that I am, I decided to keep her home (for the second day in a row). However, she woke up at 7:30 totally mad at me because she was waiting for the alarm to go off so she could go to school. Sigh. Well, she did end up staying home but decided she wanted to make her snack, so we baked brownies.
