Alligator!!!!

Allen has a friend that lives down the street and his dad told Mike about the Alligator that is in one of the lakes in the subdivision.  It is right on the golf course but in woods, there are peoples houses really close to these woods also, I hope they keep their animals close by!!

I zoomed in pretty close, he is pretty far away from us. He is still too close for comfort though!
There are buzzards all over the place out here, when we walk around the lake they swarm the area, here are some pics of them and the trail where we ride our bikes.

This is such a pretty place to ride our bikes!

I started school yesterday so I will be busy, busy!! I am taking four classes so I will definitely have my hands full!! Mike is working lots of hours these days, because it is busy season in the tax world, blah!!  Allen is a little behind in school and I am pretty worried about it, Alabama schools are way behind Florida schools and he is having a hard time catching up, he is in a tutoring program two days a week after school so I hope this helps!  Taylor is doing great in school and making a lot of friends but, bless her heart she is on her 9th UTI, we have had ultrasounds and other tests that are clear but now on antibiotics and we have a Urologist appointment for the 19th so I hope they can find out why she can't stay clear of this, it seems if she is not constantly on an antibiotic she has a UTI, poor little girl, but you wouldn't know it, she neve complains about it.  Emma, well, Emma is Emma she is having a blast, but when I pick her up from school she tells me what a horrible day it has been I ask her to tell me about it and she says the teachers are so mean, and I ask how is that Emma? (We all know Emma, right?) So I ask her teacher if everything is ok with her and if she is doing what she is supposed to be doing, whatever> I did tell the teacher what Emma said and I asked her if she was getting in trouble because of her behavior and she says Emma is very good and behaves and does what she is told, but loves to talk, right??? In circle time they have had to tell her to hush, many times, they decided to move her but that doesn't stop the social butterfly she would talk to anyone!! Anyway-everyone is doing well just hope that Allen can get passed the third grade here and Taylor can be well from whatever is causing this and Emma, well I just hope she can have a quiet circle time!!
