I know you guys asked multiple times for pictures from Christmas and then gave up on me.  Sorry about that Lara and Jana.  Here you go!  Only 9 months behind :)  You can click on each set to make them bigger.  

I don't have very many pictures for this post.  I'm not sure if we don't have any or if we haven't downloaded them.  We haven't been up to a whole lot this summer.  We held our 9th consignment sale at the beginning of August.  I can't believe we've been doing it for 4 years already, that is so hard to believe.  July 26th was our 10th anniversary.  Chad surprised me with a  babysitter and dinner at Ruth's Chris.  On August 5th we celebrated Parker's 7th birthday.  Also incredibly hard to believe!  Parker still loves lego more than anything so that is of course what he got for his birthday.  Instead of having a party he wants to go to the Lego Discovery Center in Atlanta and we hope to get down there in the next couple of weeks.  On his birthday we went out to a Japanese restaurant (his favourite) and went to see a movie.

Most of our summer we have spent hanging out at home and at the pool.  We really wanted to make it up to Canada to visit my mom and Bob but unfortunately it didn't work out this summer.  We are going to be there for Christmas though and we are looking forward to lots of snow and fun family time.

We started back to school the day after Labour Day.  Kennedy is in grade 4, Parker is in various grade levels and Emerson is starting kindergarten.  Reese is still in the must have all mommy's attention phase which I hope will be less distracting during school time in the near future.

 This is what happens when you live in the south and it snows once a  year, you end up in your sister's pink snow suit from the year before!

More Randomness

After church last Sunday, Reese actually stood still and looked at the camera for us!!

 Sleepover #1 last month.  We had another sleepover last Friday but with one more little guy.  The kids love sleepovers!  Chad, not so much!!!

VBS

The kids wanted to go to VBS at Calvary again this year (our church no longer does VBS). In order for Emerson to go to the preschool class I had to volunteer so I spent the week as a leader for eight 6 year olds which was a fun week for the most part. The Chick Fil A cow came to visit today. 

Some day I'll get around to posting pictures with descriptions close to when things actually happened.  For now, here are some more random pictures.
