First Day of School 08

All of the kids are back in for another school year. Ben and Evie started school on July 7th, and Cecilia and Brian went back on Aug. 25th.


Ben is in Ms. Bailey's 5th grade class this year

Evie is in Mrs. Holland's 2nd grade class

Cecilia and Brian were excited to get going in the morning. I think they just wanted to get it over with.

Our Summer Excursions

We have had a lot of fun trips this Summer, We have just been so busy we didn't post them to the blog. Here are a few of the things that we have been up to.

Cecilia Went to camp Hardee the last week in July. She had a great time! They had air conditioned cabins. That's really roughing it.




We took a trip to Williamsburg with our good friends the Noonans. We all had a blast! We took the kids to Busch gardens. The kids got to ride some of the biggest rides in the US. It was so nice to travel with another family that had kids our kids could play with. When we weren't in the park, the kids enjoyed the hotel pool.

In May we flew to MN for Amy's wedding! It was so exciting to see everyone, and meet little Addison. We had so much fun hanging out with the whole family. The wedding was beautiful.

In April, Lin and Paul flew out to visit us. We hadn't seen each other in two years! It was great showing them our little part of the country. We all drove to Myrtle Beach and had a weekend on the coast. I hope that we can make it an every year thing.

Locks Of Love

Cecilia has been talking about donating her hair to Locks of Love for a couple of years now. She had to have at least 10 inches to donate. It took her a while, but she finally had enough. This week she decided to call it quits with the long hair. She is getting ready to go back to school and decided to simplify her life. We all love her new do. She looks so grown up!
