First blog

It's just another week for the Voxland's . James is extremely busy at work and I've got lots on my plate these days. I started graduate school this month. I'm getting my master's degree in curriculum and instruction at Dallas Baptist University. It's strange to be back in school, but this is a good time in my life to start this chapter.

Alyssa is so busy these days. She's just about given up her morning nap which means I have to think of more and more ways to keep her entertained. We have been heading to the park every morning the past week. She loves the swings and is bound and determined to climb on the playground equipment. I know it won't be long before she's walking. Her balance and coordination are getting better everyday. It's amazing to me that she just started crawling two months ago!

I'm so excited that it's FALL! This is my favorite time of the year and I can't wait to get out my fall decorations and wear fall clothing. I'm looking forward to taking Alyssa to pumpkin patches, the sun going down early, and cooking hot dinners when it's getting chilly outside. Too bad everything is still green and the air is still hot and humid.

Tonight is "girls' club". I'm passing down the "girls' club" tradition to Alyssa. When my sister and I were kids, my mom would call an evening with just the girls, "girls' club." We would do something special just the three of us. James is going to a men's fellowship outing tonight and Alyssa and I are on our own. We're going to make pizza for dinner and possibly take a walk. After that, I have about 200 pages to read. Fun times!
