August

WHOA, Nelly! Last blog update was in July. It's now the end of December?! I can give you a multitude of excuses, but all basically boil down to life being busy (I also am working at the kid's school now)! As the kids get older, we are home less and less and they are doing more and more. As it goes here in North Carolina, 7 year olds can't drive themselves to dance and soccer, so we are on the go! I am going to do one big monster of an upload today month by month. 

Here are a few lone shots from August. It was HOT this August and we spent most of it at the pool. The afternoons were often too hot to play outdoors, so we rented Wii games to get some energy out without melting. Dance games were the favorites for the girls. Sam was a great coach.

 He is SUCH a stinker. I could bite him.

Documented proof that they don't fight all the time...

Dance Recital: Caroline

With all of the high drama and excitement of breaking an arm, memorial day plans, finishing up the school year, and dance recitals, I forgot to show you how gorgeous my daughter was the night of her dance gala! This was her color! The entire group of girls danced beautifully!

When the lights went on and the curtain came up, Caroline was front and center on stage...we are so proud of her.

As beautiful as she is on the outside (and let's face it, we are biased), we think she is even prettier on the inside, which matters so much more to us.

Nonna and Papa's: July Continues...

July

We are in the full swing of summer. While I am not sure where June went (honestly, no pictures...just lots of pool time), I am going to show you what we've been up to in July.

The 4th of July is always beach and family time for us. Our first stop was the Doc's Inn (my inlaws palce)...the kids love it...you can surely see why!
