We are only three weeks into day care and Jocelyn is already developing many new skills. I watched in amazement last night as she finished playing with her blocks and proceeded to pick each one up and put them in the toy box - without being asked. She also learned sign language for the word "more" which she demonstrated last night at dinner..sign language was something Cory and I wanted to work on, but had never gotten around to doing.

Go day care!


I wish everything else was that easy. Cory is overwhelmed with work (Fidelity and Appraising) and school and I feel like I am drowning sometimes tying to balance motherhood, womanhood, career and the household. What's a girl to do....chop off her hair? Well, as you can see, that's what I did...fortunately, I love it. I seriously only blow dry it for 5 minutes in the morning...nothing else.
















If you like it, let me know. If not...I never liked you anyway.

What else is new for the Shrader's?

Upcoming events:
  • Cory turns 30 September 28th, we'll be spending that weekend in Orlando and PSL
  • I am focused on personal growth lately. Listening to podcasts and networking. Trying to prepare myself for the next step.
  • Grandma (who recently had abdominal surgery) is healing...slowly but surely, please keep her in your prayers
  • I will be heading to Anaheim October 1-4 to attend the Fresh Summit, a huge Produce Food Show. I am going to see Condoleezza Rice speak at a women's leadership event.
I'll keep you posted. Check back early October.
