C Had a Special Day,

and Was Baptized

It was So Good to have our Families come,

and be Here,

to Share it with Him!

One of the Most Touching Parts,

was When his Grandpa P Sang for Him.

It was done so Lovingly, 

Beautifully,

and 

was Truly Special.

We are So Proud of You, C,

and Love You so Much!

A Perfect Night for

Crusin' on Vespas,

Hogging Down Dinner,

and Catching a Movie. 

Scouting Buddies

Now that Middle Child has Turned 8?

He Gets to Join in All

the Scouting Fun, 

too! 

First Day of School

07.25.2012

{My 3rd and 4th Grader}

I was Strongly Encouraged NOT to:

Follow,

Hold Their Hand,

Kiss Their Wee Wittle Cheeks,

Take Pictures,

or 

Lovingly Holler Out,

"I LOVE You, Sweetie Cakes!"

My Heart Sighs,

Why do They Have to Grow Up?

{Sunday Evening Hike}

Back to School Extravaganza

One of Our Traditions 

has become to Spend a Weekend Having Fun

Before the Big Return to School.

We Check into a Hotel,

in a Near-by Shopping Area a Mile or Two from Home,

and then 

We Spend a Good Portion 

of a Friday Afternoon and Saturday

Shopping for School Clothes, Shoes, Backpacks,

Eating Out, Eating Ice Cream, Eating Bad for You Yummies,

Going to a Movie, Eating more junk, Swimming at the Hotel,

and

Staying up Late Eating More Garbage 

and Watching a Movie in Bed.

We Love this Time.

[I think the Kids Like it almost as Much as Mom and Dad Do!]

You've Had a Birthday

Shout HOO-RAY!

We Celebrated C's 8th Birthday in Grand Sportin' Style!

When You're the Birthday-ee at our House,

You get Woken Up to Breakfast in Bed,

with the Whole Gang!

C 

Really, really, really, 

REALLY

wanted a Jersey of a certain Miami Heat Player

[First name starts with "LeBron" Last name "James"]

So, 

he was Rather Stoked to Unwrap that Baby!

For his Party, 

He wanted to Play Football and Basketball with his Besties,

so we Spent the Morning at the Park,

Playing Ball and Eating Pizza! 

{Happy Birthday, C!}

We Sure do Love YOU!
