Annie's Visit!

After spending the weekend at Lake Keowee with the Grimm's, the girls just didn't feel like they had enough time together, so we traded Annie and Ellie for a few days. Ellie stayed with the Grimm's at the lake and we brought Annie home with us until Wednesday. We had a wonderful visit! Annie is so sweet, polite, and helpful! She's also super smart! Her english is really taking off! Yesterday we took a break from the pool and met the Krehbiel's at Chuckee Cheeses. The girls played for hours and had an absolute ball! (I'd have more pictures, but my camera is giving me problems!)

No More Monkey's Jumping on the Bed!

My little monkey, Emma, jumped off the bed and twisted her ankle. We took her to the urgent care and they did an x-ray and said, she tore some ligaments. She is now wearing a brace and keeping it iced.

Slumber Party!

Dad, this is the picture we took of the big buck right outside the keeping room window!

Hahahahaha! It's as good as those UFO photo's people take. But really, it was there!

Found a bird's nest in my fern.

My fern was dying, so I took it down and found an empty bird's nest in it. I hope the baby bird's have flown the coup and I didn't steel their home. Anyway, I found some little plastic eggs and painted them and put the nest full of eggs on my deck.

Girls going to Vacation Bible School

Beach Trip 2012

We spent 2 weeks at the beach. The first week, Keith, me, and the girls got a little R&R before Keith had to head home to get back to work. The girls and I stayed on and Sam and Suzanne joined us for a little girl time. We took walks on the beach, painted our nails, watched movies, shopped, read novels, played cards, and flew kites. Now it's time to get back to reality. Tomorrow the girls start vacation bible school and I have 6 swim lessons.
