Welcome friends!

I have been trying to get this blog up and running for quite some time.  With 5 kids and a husband to care for, it seems the days just slip away. I hope to be able to share with you my adventures in raising five children as well as the Blessing it has been.   Allow me to introduce my family to you.  My husband of 10 years, Dennis,  Justin-18,  Ashlyn-15,  Lauren-8, Dylan -6, and Ryan-5, and of course me, Maureen!

The pictures above were taken recently of my older kids going to the Homecoming Dance.  The last two were taken on our traditional visit to the Pumpkin Patch.  My kids love Halloween.  Next to Christmas it is their favorite holiday. 

Today I am preparing for a road trip.  I love road trips!  My husband Dennis and I are traveling to Maggie Valley North Carolina for the weekend.  I will be competing in a Clogging Competition on Saturday.  For those of you who may not know me, I have been clogging since I was 9 years old.  A very long time!  I currently teach beginning, intermediate and advanced clogging to all ages at a local dance studio.  I love it. This year I hooked up with some friends who are into the competition circuit and they invited me to join them for this event. I am very excited.

I have never seen the leaves change and I am looking forward to the cooler weather and some time with  Dennis.  So, I am gonna run and finish packing.  I hope to be able to post next week.  Until then, thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Fall!

Love,

Maureen
