2nd Interview

I have my second interview for a job on Wednesday morning!! I hope it goes well! I think this will be a great advancement for me! My only concern is not being with the kids as much as I am now - but we'll figure it out! Maybe we will have to seriously consider a move!! I'm more than happy to do that! But lt's not get too ahead of ourself here. We'll see what Wednesday brings!!

The Search Continues....

I hate job hunting! I really do. I had another interview Monday the 8th with this great company. It's a very autonomous position with so much growth potential. The skills required a varied. It's just perfect!! It's an hour away though in Marlborough - but Richard started his new job at Gyrus ACMI in Southborough, so hopefully our schedules mesh enough that we can commute. We'll see!
On the flip side - summer is over! It flew by so fast. I don't feel like we got much of anything done!


Ms. Taylor's first day of 6th Grade
















Josh's first day of 5th Grade.

















We've been trying to play catch up with the kids and do things with our final remaining nice weather. We went hiking on Labor Day to Jacob's Hill in Royalston. It was a great place! I love Richard's branch hat! Talk about perfect placement.















We plan to go back to see Royalston Falls - which was our original destination - however you need 4 wheel drive to get down to it. Now we know!Maybe this weekend! We made it out to a spot called The Ledges which gave us a spectacular view of Tully Lake and Tully Dam.









On the 31st my nephew turned 1. I had the honor of making his first Tigger birthday cake! Taylor worked on his personal cake. They both came out great!






















The cut outs on the table are what I used to create this little masterpiece! I printed the pictures from the computer and cut the color part out to use as a pattern. I traced the inside of the pattern onto the cake with a tooth pick. Once I had the outside placed, I free hand drew all the color areas with a toothpick then went back a frosted it all in. I could NOT believe I did so well! I have made many great kid's cakes - but this one is by far the best one I have finished. I started at 8:30 in the morning and didn't finish until 12:50!! It was worth it though. Logan thoroughly enjoyed himself!
