At Haley's school every grade has an age appropriate language arts program. For example, there are 5 second grade teachers and for part of the day all of the children split up into "ability" groups. Group 1 being the kid's who need a bit more help and the kid's get stronger and stronger up to Group 5. Well...on Monday, my Haley, my first born, my beautiful, talented, wonderful daughter was moved into Group 5! Not that I'm bragging or anything. But seriously, God has blessed her with many talents and I thank Him every day for her.

Then there is my wonderful son who has learned the art of telling a joke. For those of you who don't know my son Ricky is only 5 and he has taken on the tough task of being a comedian. And I am proud to say he is doing very well at it! He asked me the other day..."Why was Piglet looking in the toilet?""He was looking for Poo!" Today it was a more complex joke with movements that he pulled off with flying colors. God has also blessed Ricky with many talents and I thank Him every day for him.

Job is rough as usual, Christmas is on it's way and the retail bus is full speed ahead! Just remember while your out shopping this season that people who work at the store are just that...people!
