The Past few Months

We had one day of very nice sunshine, although pretty cold temps, but me and the kids braved the elements and spent an afternoon at the Zoo. Zoo Atlanta makes the list at number 11 for Xavier and number 7 for Addison. Like I said before, we like zoos.





Addison got to attend Montessori School for one day because Grandma had to go out of town. We didn't have anyone else to watch her and we both had to work. So, she "visited" the toddler room for a day. She absolutely loved every minute of it, so now I need to figure out to afford to send her or maybe not. :)







A Bug Boil and Softball game with the folks from The Journey, our Sunday church.










October is Pastor Appreciation Month. The very yummy cake they had made for John and I.




A quick trip to Asheville, NC to visit Uncle Daniel and a pumpkin patch.







Been pretty busy around the Pethtel house over the last few months. Xavier is enjoying Kindergarten although not really learning anything new. He has a great teacher who is willing to give him some extra work, but he's still way ahead of his classmates. John has gone back to sales at Sears, which means a big pay cut for us. But he does now have more time for the family and the church and that is more important. I am still busy at school. My classroom flooded during all the heavy rain in the Atlanta area a few weeks ago. Not a lot of damage but enough to keep us out of the room for a month. We get to go back to our old room in one more week.
John took a trip to West Virginia at the beginning of October and hit a deer on the first day. The KIA was totaled and thanks to our wonderful in-laws, he is now the proud owner of a 93 taurus. He went for a vacation and didn't get much of one. Maybe next time. :)
The kids and I took a trip to Asheville to visit my brother, Daniel. We had a nice time and beautiful weather. Next month we should be heading down to Fort Lauderdale for church association. Right now we are deciding how to get down there.
So, that is everything in a nut shell. Blog some more next month.
