Summer Fun!

We've had such a fun summer so far!  Legoland was a blast for everyone!                                                                                                                  We also went to the beach for the first time as a family.  Our big guy loved it!!  It was a long drive to South Carolina, but he was a trouper.  We stayed in a villa right on the beach and spent nearly every day there.  He didn't want to leave and called it our 'beach home.' :)

                    

                          

                                                 

Nearly Summer!

          

We all love spring and the warmer weather it brings!    

Each year, life becomes more and more exciting!

Good Times!

Emily was awarded Teacher of the Year!

He was showing how many pieces of cake he
wanted at his buddy's birthday party :)

Spring!

We are soccer parents now!  It wasn't an easy start, but our guy had an awesome coach who encouraged him and his teammates.  Now, we all love soccer nights!

 His first kite flying experience was so much fun!  He caught the hang of it pretty quickly!

Snowy Days and Homework

 

Our boy absolutely loves being outside, even in the cold!  He always has so much fun in the snow - sledding, making snow angels, and building snowmen.  He also loves doing homework!  

Merry Christmas!

We love our town, but especially during Christmas!  Music fills the air and every store front is decorated.   The huge Christmas tree is lit.  Children can meet Santa and listen to the Polar Express while drinking hot cocoa on the dinner train.  The Christmas parade is always exciting.  Candy and toys are tossed to the children and local school bands march and play for the crowd.  This year, our big guy experienced his first Christmas downtown.  He loved it and we all had so much fun!
