We closed out the summer with a trip to Jekyll Island since Hunting Island was not ready for campers yet. We had a great time. We loved the bike paths and fishing pier. The campground was small but it worked for us! We did visit Hunting Island, just the day use area, it is still beautiful but nature has taken its toll.
Olivia started first grade in August and I started my 15th year teaching! She is loving her teachers and loves first grade!
Then end of September and October were a little rough. I had some outpatient surgery due to some female issues. I feel like at 38 years old my body is out of whack. I have had ovarian cysts, been on medications, and finally had a fibrioid removed at the end of September. I still am not feeling 100% better. Growing old is no fun... Olivia also had her first visit from the tooth fairy. She had to get 2 teeth pulled due to some teeth growing in behind her baby teeth. She looks like a little pumpkin!
Then Olivia got sick. Really sick...she got something called Sapovirus which is similar to Norovirus. We spent 3 days at CHOA Egleston. Finally the Tuesday after all this happened she was able to go back to school. It was a pretty scary few days. Her intestines was very swollen. We were so happy when she was finally better and back to her happy self.
At least at the end of October we enjoyed Halloween! Loved her creativity of being a Sea Turtle Patrol volunteer.
November flew by fast. We made another trip to the farm for a few days. Olivia and I even went hunting with daddy! It was a little crazy up in the deer stand but it was fun. We cleaned up the front a little bit and planted some plants. I will have to dig up some photos from that trip....I think they are on Brendon's phone.
Ahhh....December. I think Olivia has been excited about Christmas since like December. We even had some snow this December and a visit from Mema and Pepa! WE visited Santa twice- Silver City Farms and The Story Shop in Monroe.
Now to look forward to 2018! Here's to looking foward!
