Scott and I were so excited to see New York this summer with Beverly and Jimmy. We had an amazing time in the Big Apple!
We enjoyed the fireworks show on the 4th of July!
AG & Caroline goofing off at the Mall...and with poor Chip!
Walker and Charlie had a big time this summer. They were back and forth better the two houses all summer! Mostly they played the Wii, played baseball or swam, but occasionally they would hang out and watch TV.
In July, Scott and I decided that the kids needed regular chores around the house. They earn an allowance each week for completing these chores. So now I don't have to beg for someone to help in the kitchen or with the laundry. And the kids are learning how to manage their own money.
This was the summer of the loose teeth! Walker started out looking like this...
then like this...
We did a little reading...and napping
I absolutely cannot believe that Anna Grace is starting 5th grade! This will be her last year in elementary school. She has been looking forward to starting school - except for the homework! She has two teachers this year and really loves them both. She says Ms. C. is really funny and Ms. R. calls her "Wisecracker." Sounds like they are going to have lots of fun this year.
Walker is changing before our eyes. Not only has he grown a few inches over the summer, but he's also lost 3 teeth. Over the past couples of weeks, he has gotten really excited about starting 2nd grade. He said his teacher is just like Ms. S (his Kindergarten and 1st grade teacher) which is a big compliment! If the 1st day of school is any indication, this year will be wonderful!
and hanging out with friends.
