Visit with Friends

We had some wonderful friends come visit us this past weekend. We went to high school together and have managed to stay in touch ever since. It had been 2 years since we last got to see them. I was able to meet their sweet twin girls for the first time. Their other 2 children stayed behind because they are in school. We also were able to celebrate Kimeka's birthday with her while she was here. Savannah LOVED her. She had not seen her since Savannah was one. At first she kept calling them The mom, the dad, and the babies. Then she finally remembered Kimeka's name and started calling her Ms. Meeka. It was very cute!! We had such a wonderful time and hope we get to see them again soon!!

Lake Fun!

exhausted from all the fun

Savannah's 1st time on the jet ski

just chillen

With this summer being so chaotic we haven't been able to be out of the boat much. However, a couple of weekends ago we were able to take it out for a day of fun with the family! Savannah even rode the jet ski with me for the first time! She really liked it! I was so proud of her!

Savannah's 1st Day of Preschool

Savannah and her new little friend

So proud : )

Yesterday was Savannah's 1st day of Preschool. She will be going 3 days a week this year. She was very excited when she went shopping for her new lunch box and backpack (which of course ended up both being Tinkerbell). She was a bit nervous before school started and kept telling me that she wanted me to stay too. However, once we got there she saw a little girl whom she had met the week before at the Meet and Greet (where you go and meet your child's teacher and see the classroom). They took off exploring some puzzles together and she no longer cared if I were around. I am told by her teacher (which is really sweet) that they were "stuck like glue all day long"! I am glad she had a great first day and has already found a new little friend!

Park Fun

We have a few different parks within our neighborhood. I took the kids to one a while ago after dinner (because it is just too hot during the day down here). They had a blast!!

My Little Artist

I can not believe how much Savannah's drawings have changed over the last few months. She is no longer drawing scribbles but actual pictures that she is able to tell you about. I have been so impressed with them! And am so proud of her!

Welcome home Nanny and Papaw!

My grandparents moved down to SC last weekend. We were so excited to have them living near us once again! It has been wonderful having them so close. I have been able to see them quite often! Unfortunately, Savannah and Joel were not able to be part of our "welcome home" celebration for them since she was home sick with strep throat!! We love you Nanny and Papaw and are so glad you we are able to spend more time with you! We had missed you so much!!

Savannah's 1st Dance Class

Savannah started dance again this year. She was very excited!! She loves to dance (and I couldn't be more thrilled about that)!! She looked so cute! And did such a wonderful job!
