Where Have I Been?

It feels like FOREVER since I've sat down in front of my computer and thought about blogging. Probably because it has been! You may have noticed that my "leave of absence" began once the girls started back to school in late August 2007. It's truly been a whirlwind since then! I didn't fully realize what kind of a time commitment would be involved serving as the PTO VIPS (Volunteers in Public Schools) Coordinator at Emily's elementary school. We have a volunteer base of over 400 volunteers, including 7 Grade Level Coordinators and 60 Room Parents that serve a student population of nearly 1300 students. It's literally a part-time job that I don't get paid to do! I've enjoyed it, though. I've met a lot of nice people, and I've learned a lot. I've also been busy putting quite a few miles on the SUV hauling the girls around town for gymnastics, recreational cheerleading, Brownie meetings, and CCE.

Here's a peek of what's been going on in the D* family since my last post . . .
