The First Day of School

It's that time of year. While Le was excited to start school, Daniel cried himself to sleep. I worried ALL day about Daniel. But, I picked them up from school and Dan was all smiles. Both boys got great teachers and I'm hoping for a good school year for them both.

The Marks' Girls Come South!

A couple of weekends ago we were lucky enough to have Paula and her girls come and spend the night. They were in NC getting Nick settled into college and touring colleges for Lily. ( I remember the first time I ever went to Ocean Reef and met Paula. Nick and Lily were playing in the lagoon and Emme was still in a diaper playing at Paula's feet. I KNOW we are not growing older as fast as they are....) We had a very nice visit albeit short. Once again, Daniel (Little Sandy) was a Bit TOO forceful in his political opinions. We are going to have to teach that boy some manners! We are lucky that the Marks' girls aren't easily offended.

A Good Time Was Had By All

Charlotte, ever the serious one...... Check out these monkeys! Notice Daniels bolero. Also, notice Bailey quietly waiting for scraps.

We had Charlotte, Rob, and the kids over a couple of weekends ago. It was so good to catch up. I can't get over how fast the kids are growing up. The kids got in the pool at 3pm and didn't get out, except to eat, until around 10pm!

By the skin of our teeth!

I took my Great Aunt Sue Joyce out on the farm four wheeling. More than once she said "Faster!"

Check out Daniel dancing with Shadow. (Poor Shadow! She's a good sport.)
Isn't this cool? Check out the different plants growing out of the tree.

Here's Aunt Vivi modeling her "Maiden of the Mist" Niagara Falls outfit.

Check out everyone dancing to the B-52's "Lobster Rock"

Believe it or not we were able to make a second trip to the farm. We decided on Tuesday we could do it and hopped in the car Wednesday morning. It was a quick trip but a lot of fun. We didn't tell Vivi we were coming and were able to go up to her school and surprise her. We labeled our days FFAV days. Our days were filled with Fishing, Four Wheeling, Alex, and Vivi. The weather was GLORIOUS! Hi's in the mid 80's with NO humidity.
