Well last week was a good one for us here in the Hejl house. I will say that others had a different end to their week here in the Whitney area. Last Thursday (September 8Th) a fire broke out on the Whitney side of the Dam and spread quickly. 
Many homes were evacuated, some were lost, and over 300 acres, I believe, was destroyed by fire. The sight from just up our road in the Church parking lot was a scary one. It went on into the night, and even today, 5 days later as I drive over the dam I see smoke coming up from various hot spots. What a scary time for many, and a time of devastation for those who lost all they knew. Prayers are with them.

Leaving that subject, and on to our weekend this past weekend. It started with a nice visit to Crawford, TX to watch my cousin Haley Daily (a Senior) play in a Volleyball game. It's not to often that I get to see her play. Between Matt's schedule, Mason's new bedtime during the week, and Gas prices, our traveling has become minimal. They won, easily, and I was able to visit with my grand ol' Uncle Bobby...Love that guy, along with the Daily kiddo's whom I adore!! They are ALL getting way to big for me, and WAY too fast!! After Haley's game we went and had dinner with Bobby and all but Haley at the Coffee Cup Station (I think that's the name of it) :) Then we headed back home.Saturday morning, I woke up to get ready for Zumba with my bestie! Tierni had never been to Zumba so it was super exciting having her go with me! She loved, and loved so much that we went back Sunday after church. :) Sunday was a great day, with Church, Zumba, and then what ended up being a relaxing evening due to a picture cancellation.
This week has been grand. Mason is continuing to do well in school and still loves it. I even heard him last week as Matt was tucking him in, Matt said "I'll see you in the morning when we get ready for school" Mason replied with "I love school". That sure makes me happy! :)
Cool new updates in the GREEN FOLDER.. yes my favorite part of his back pack EVERY DAY!! The teacher now sends home little post-its with what I have heard to be either a smiley face, straight face, or a sad face. Smileys of course are a good thing. Meaning your child did good that day. Straight face, not as good, but not terrible. Maybe a little bad behavior in some instance (really not sure), and the sad face.. NO BUENO!! :) It think the sad face is a big no no!! So, This past week, (Monday holiday, so Tuesday) Mason came home and in his bag, in the Green Folder :) was a little post it with a smiley face!!! :) I really don't think he even understood it, but I talked more to him about it, and what we expect from him and such and now he is excited too about his smiley faces. :) Not sure how I will handle anything other than smiley faces, but I am sure the day is coming as we are not perfect.. everyday. :)
As for my little Micah man... Oh, that little boy. He is really SOMETHING ELSE!! 
I absolutely adore him, and his little voice. He greets me in the mornings with the sweetest little kisses and "Time to wake up" morning calls. I just love him... that's all. Not a fancy word for it.. just LOVE!!!
