Nana visits

Nana flew down for a visit and we had such a great time! The weather was beautiful minus a rainy Saturday, but we managed to cram lots of fun into just a few days. We went to our favorite park and got 2 huge pumpkins at a pumpkin farm. Nana even got to see Nathan's favorite place - Adventure Landing - where we miniture golfed and played all sorts of video games! And we watched The Wizard of Oz so Lauren could get ready for Halloween! We loved having Nana here, although Lauren stated several times "I want Papa here at my house"!! We missed you Papa -

Lauren's story

Now Lauren loves to tell stories, and usually we can decipher what she's telling us, but this particular dinner time story had us cracking up. This is only a couple minutes of her 30 minute rambling....

Myrtle Beach

Here's a few pics from our recent trip to the beach. The kids had a great time playing in the ocean and in the several pools and hot tubs. Lauren took a header in the ocean as she got a bit too brave (following lead from Nathan of course) and a big wave wiped her feet from under her! She hopped up though and went back for more. The weather was beautiful and warm. We ate at Joe's crab shack of course, and went to Alligator Adventure. A much needed getaway for all!

Lauren's 1st day of Preschool

Just like her big brother, Lauren couldn't wait to put on her backpack and head off to school! She did great on her first day and still loves to go each Friday. She is making new friends and loves to play with the baby dolls.

Nathan's 1st day of Kindergarten

Nathan was so excited for his first day of Kindergarten. He ran to the bus stop with Bob trying to video tape him, and me trying not to cry while squeezing him tight!

After 3 weeks of trackout, he started back on Monday and he has gotten green lights on his progress reports so far.

We are so proud of him!
