Beach, Birthday, Back to School

August was a busy month! We started by traveling.  We went to the Poconos to meet up with my dad's side of the family and stayed for one night....because we were headed to the beach!  It was a full 24-hours of fun :)







We arrived at the beach on Saturday afternoon and headed straight to the water!


It was a busy week - but oh so much fun.  Kevin's brother and sister-in-law were there with us and we did "all the things".



Peter got a belated birthday gift (nerf gun!) and Chloe got an early one (karaoke microphone!!)




A highlight for everyone was the Dolphin Cruise that we did.  Look how close we got to the dolphins! They liked swimming in the boat's wake.







When we got back, it was time to celebrate Chloe's 10th birthday with our family!  Look at her blowing out all the candles :)


She got to have a friends part this year too - American Girl Doll themed.  10 sweet girls came to celebrate her and she had a blast (and got a lot of nice gifts!)







Chloe's birthday signals that school is right around the corner.  Our first day was last week.  4th grade and 3rd grade for Chloe and April. Kindergarten for Peter!!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
