A Day at the Playground

Nikki and Madison came for a visit at the beginning of the summer. We decided to take the kids to the new playground at Alyssa's school.

I love the slide hair!














My little monkey-boy.













Madison insisted on swinging by herself on the big swing. And she only fell off once! She just keeps getting cuter.












And we wrapped up the day at home with the water slide and some popsicles. Madison loved the water slide. We had to drag her off at dinner time.

Roxy

This is the kids' favorite picture of Roxy. They call it "mid-flap". They laugh hysterically every time they see it!


Madison is fully enjoying hanging out with Roxy. Roxy, however, is not so sure!

Summer Hair Cut

Alyssa decided she wanted a new do for summer. The woman ended up cutting off about 6 inches! I was terrified for her to realize how short it was but she loved it.

I was so happy to have the camera when I saw the result of the comb-out!

Softball

We wrapped up the softball season at the end of June. Alyssa was able to add to her trophy collection. They didn't exactly finish first, but they weren't last either! Good coach, great friends, what more could you ask for?

Last Week of School

We had a girl scout camp out on the last Friday before summer vacation. There was a fishing derby for the entire campground and Alyssa was one of two people to actually catch a fish. And she caught two!! This is the really cool trophy she won. It looks great in her room!










Alyssa's school had field day in their last week. They had cool relays, soccer, water games, tons of goodies, and of course, face painting! The kids both had a great time even though it was cut short because of a thunderstorm. It was a great way to wrap up the school year.


































Aaron and Roxy were inseparable at the beginning of the summer.

3 Months Later...

Okay, so I haven't posted in 3 whole months! Sorry! Things got really crazy for us in June. The kids' last day of school was June 24th and our summer was off to a running start. The kids spent the 4th of July in Jamestown with Crazy hair. We had a wonderful visit from our friends Edyn and Shaelyn from Maryland and we had Alyssa's 9th birthday party. (Can you believe it?? She's NINE!!) Sometime in July Eric was offered a new position with Dell that brought us back to Maryland. The kids spent a week with my parents while Eric and I started looking for a place to live. It was a mad rush to find a place before school started on August 25th. We found a great house in Churchville, about 5 minutes from our old house in Havre de Grace. So, now it's September. We're getting settled into the new house and the kids are adjusting to their new school. And now that I've made all of my excuses, I'll post 3 months of pictures to catch everyone up. Thanks to everyone for all of the support during the move. And thank you for continuing to check our blog. I promise to stay up to date now!
