We're back! It's been a long summer. We've had some good times and some difficult times but we're hanging in there and remembering all that we have to be thankful for: each other, our friends and family, our health, our two dogs, and our sweet little town. We've enjoyed all of them this summer. Here's the summer in review:
Mary Grace finished Kindergarten:
Elsie finished her Purple and Red Apple classes:
Aunt Chatham graduated from her Masters' program at N.C. State:
The girls had their ballet/tap/jazz recital. A total of 6 dances between the two of them! Sweet Bridget's in the middle.
We were with Maw Maw for her first view of the Atlantic Ocean!
We had a great 4th of July weekend with Robby, Candi, and the boys:
Stephen turned 35!
We waited for sea turtles to nest.
And enjoyed a week at the beach with our Fralix cousins:.
Mary Grace started First Grade!
Elsie is a Green Apple!:
So, there's the summer. Now, we're onto Fall and all of the fun that brings. I'm working on a Halloween costume. I'll give you a hint: it's for the "smallest one", this little schoolgirl pictured above. Mary Grace is going to choose from our extensive selection of Disney and Barbie princess costumes and/or cheerleading uniforms. I'll be back soon with our Fall activities so far: cheering on the CCHS Wildcats, soccer games, and lots of fun at school.
We love you all and miss you. You know, Fall is the PERFECT time to visit us!
