Howdy all!  Steve asked me to take over this week. I'm still a little rusty at doing the weekly wrap up, but let's see what we had going on this past week. Not going to do a huge intro though, because it's been a big week here with my little man joining many others in starting school this week (yes, he's already 3 years old and starting preschool!).  And of course, after finally getting to be around other kids, my little man has caught a cold and wants snuggles with his mama. So let's take a look at what happened this week.

This week was the classic feature and Cia joined us for both Monday and Wednesday:

Then on Thursday, we took a look back at a previous anthology entry. Don't forget your anthol entries are due by October 31st!
