Summer 2011

Maggie and Nana went to the Bluegrass Fair. Nana reported that Maggie was giddy the entire time. She loved the rides and wanted to ride them all over and over. Nana said she was perfectly behaved, and that they had a wonderful time together. Maggie of course wanted to go back the next morning.
While they girls were at the fair, Pap took the boys to the dirt race track! Again, loved it! I'm not sure who had more fun, Maggie or the boys! All three kids had a wonderful, memorable time with their Nana and Pap. What did we do? Enjoyed the quiet and had a nice dinner out at Saul Good.

We've made the decision to move the boys to the brand new Wellington Elementary. Although I'm sad for them to be out of my district, we're very excited for the opportunities Wellington will offer them. The boys are delighted with the move as they will be attending the same school as their cousins Caleb and Anna!

We've spent a lot of time at the ballpark this summer. Maggie has been a little trouper cheering the boys on in the hot, hot sun. This day she was so happy to see her best friend from Ms. Judy's, Cara. Cara's brother was also playing in the Bluegrass State Games.
We've been so busy this summer we haven't been able to spend much time with friends. Last week we had a fun outing to Orange Leaf with Sara, Ellie, and Olivia.


While we were getting the boys' hair cut last week, I decided to go ahead and get Maggie's trimmed and evened up a bit. It was her first hair cut. She loved every minute!

We hosted a fun Life Group night at our house. We were sad not to have the Coy's, but glad to see one another. The kids had a blast with shaving cream and a slip and slide. We enjoyed the adult time, but had a little clean up...

All Star tee ball was a big time commitment, but both boys improved significantly. Matthew is a very consistent hitter. He has a great swing, and runs very fast. He loves to slide, and he makes it look so easy! Austin has become a good fielder. He has started to be able to catch the ball and make good, hard throws. Austin loves to play baseball. He wants to throw outside with Jason everyday. He loves to practice and have games. Matthew has become an excellent player, but still prefers soccer. I think he needs the constant movement of soccer.

Vacation with the Keith's on Edisto Island.


Fort Sumter

We spent Memorial Day Weekend at Great Wolf Lodge. The kids absolutely love that place.
