Our summer in Fayetteville

Coming back to Fayetteville in July meant being back to routine. Pete started his 5-week summer session of graduate school. He finished August 2nd, and earned straight A's!

I started volunteering at an organization called the Northwest Arkansas Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilties. After a week, they offered to hire me! So I will be working part-time here along with the Montessori school. Pete also got a tutoring gig for the fall. We feel very blessed!

The first weekend in August we had the chance to have a fun get-away weekend down to Dallas. My Dad was there for work and we got to see and spend time with him. I love my Dad. There is always a pleasant and enjoyable time to be had with him. We scooted around town and saw the Dallas Cowboys Stadium (HUGE!), "the grassy knoll" and the new George W. Bush Presidential library. We also visited the temple while we were there.

Peter started his student-teaching today! And classes at the University start next Monday. It's back to schools for us!

We are excited for Liz and Brad, and our new niece, Grace Elizabeth Ashby!
