School, Football and Fall Activities

It not that I did not have anything to blog about, there just has be NO time!!!!
Where to begin???
School is off and running and with that has come ALL the homework and fall activities!
The homework has been a challenged since Allysa is no longer in elementary school! WOW, the homework and intensity!!! She is doing Ok- her interim grades were all A's and B's but she still has some of the same struggles. She tanks on Bigger tests and she is a VERY concrete thinker so if the test is not like the study guide, she struggles with applying what she knows when it is different. The teachers all say just keep working with her, she is good kid and wants to do well and it will all click! She is soooo much like me, I hated abstract stuff and still do!!! I like facts and detail!
Ashlee seems to be doing well, at this time I know of no major issues. She has some of same traits as Allysa but yet different so who knows with her :). Health wise, she seems to be holding her own. Even with school starting we are still doing every other week and knock on wood- none of her usual fall symptoms have materialized.
Both girls are cheering for the D2 Cowboys! The squad has been together for 4 years and they have grown soooooo much! Coach Jill and Brenda should be proud!!!! Allysa also choose to take advantage of the after school volleyball program and both are still doing Piano. Since they are no major musician dreams, they go every other week.

Football!!!
Although I hated to see summer go and fall arrive, mainly because that means winter is coming. I LOVE that it is football season!!! The Bucks are doing well and surprisingly the Steelers are hanging in there even with all the off field drama with Ben!!! I guess it shows there is no I in team and one person does not define the whole team!
Kevin and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary in the BURGH!!! We had a wonderful dinner Sat. night and then Steeler game Sunday. Of course, he forgot my gift but it worth waiting for, a new necklace with nice diamond ! It is beautiful!

There has been many other things going on but in effort to keep the blog upbeat will stick with positive. However, my of my dear friends/family members are going through some rough patches so just keep them in your thoughts!
Until Next Time- Go Bucks, Go D2 Cowboys and Go Steelers!!!! Enjoy the slide show to wrap up all that has been going on! The steeler shots are from my new camera and I LOVE my new camera!!!
PS-hope everyone enjoys the blog look!
