Warning: picture overload

Well, I have no excuses for my lack of posting over the past few weeks. Except that we've had a lot going on, some of which I'll be sharing below. VBS has consumed my mind and time this week so I guess that's my excuse for today :) I'll hit the high points of what we've been up to lately.....

1. Small group get away to the lake without the kids. Obviously had to come first. How many chances do you have to get away with 9 of your closest friends at a gorgeous lake house, staying up way too late, playing games and fighting during them, laughing a ton, playing guitar hero, baking in the sun, and not stopping one minute to wipe a nose, change a diaper, stop a fight or in general think of anyone else's well being for two solid days?

Our group: l to r- Walker, Susie, Sarah, David, Bridget, Steve

Ryan, Ashley, Nathan

The Lake House- as you can see, it could have been a little more spacious :)

Where we spent most of the day:

2. Annely Blake is walking!! Not all the time, but enough :) Finally, my back can take a rest!

And, as I mentioned before, VBS is this week. We started it off with a moon-walk. Will wasn't too sure.

I'll try to do better about the posting. Seeing as how I'm quick to point out when others have fallen behind :)

A Week of Firsts

It's been a week of firsts for Will. Instead of being smart and spreading all this fun stuff out over the summer, we're cramming it in, day after day. What will we do next month when we've run out of new and exciting?

No firsts for her.....just a cute picture!

First time fishing.

And he caught one on the first cast!

First time on a paddle boat. (I love the look of trepidation he and Luke have :)

First time "practicing" on daddy's trumpet.

First baseball game. Columbus Catfish vs Savannah Sandnats. They ain't the Braves... :)

Snacks are always good.

Meeting a Catfish player, Ozzie, who signed a fly ball for Will. He now sleeps with the ball in his bed every night.

Summer Begins

Well, not officially, but around here it has. End of school means start of summer when a pre-schooler is involved. I've been thinking of everything possible to do to get out of the house and keep my kiddos occupied. Library, museum, park, pool, Publix. Publix? Yes...desperate times call for desperate measures. I am that weird woman who looks forward to going to Publix to push my kids in the oh-so-friendly "car" cart while Will chomps on a cookie and I stroll the cool air-conditioned ailes. Even if I don't have to actually buy anything. Today I just knew if I spent one more second cooped up in the house with my two I was going to scream. So I got the bright idea to head downtown to the River Walk and take along Will's best bud, Luke. Who cares that the humidity was 900%? And it was close to 90. Will and Luke had a good time and burned off steam (literally) before dinner. Tomorrow it's off to the pool, then another play date on Friday morning. See? I wasn't kidding.....we're looking for anything to do.

Sharing a word...
