September and Football

Two things started this month, school and football! Levi started preschool, and so far he is loving it! His teacher says wonderful things about him, and I am so happy he has that time a few times a week!

Justin’s brother started football as well and we have had the opportunity to attend a couple of his games. They look like a good team this year, so I am hopeful  for future games!

   

We’ve been enjoying, as always, the re-start of College football! We are hoping to be able to attend a Duck game later this season with Justin’s brother and his wife. Although I am not a Duck fan, I do acknowledge the team looks good this year and I love going to football games!

Justin is taking his insurance license test this week, and hopefully he will be selling soon! We are looking forward to him earning that extra money! And I know Justin is excited to be able to work with his dad.

I recently wrote a letter to the local Pepsi Bottling company. They have a Christmas lights display every year in December. They mostly have displays of popular characters from Disney and Warner Brothers. They also have a Grinch display, lots of Santa-related things, and a ‘12 Days of Christmas’ section. I wrote the letter offering my services as an artist. The owner personally wrote me back accepting my offer and asking me to call and schedule a meeting with him. I did so, but he was out of town. His secretary took my name and number, and as soon as she realized who I was she said Mr. Pastega (the owner) was expecting my call and that he was very excited to work with me. She also said he was absolutely impressed by my work and couldn’t stop raving about them! I am really excited to be working on this and displaying my art for everyone to see and enjoy!

We took family photos this month, and here are some of the better shots:
