Babies Got Back(packs)

Conor & Jude are back in school! They returned to John Wesley only this time they go Monday thru Friday, which gives mom some time to catch up at work. Here they are on the first day showing off the book bags & lunch boxes they picked out all on their own.

Hilton Head Mini Vacay

If you regularly read my blog, you might notice two things:

  1. I have not been a good blogger of late - I am going to work really hard to turn that around as we have so many exciting things going on these days.
  2. You will remember from previous years that we traditionally wrap up summer with a trip to Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort over labor day weekend.
This tradition has easily become one of my favorites. The rooms are spacious, the kids activities are outstanding and even adults can not help but enjoy the beauty of the area and the many offerings and choices of fun things to do. For the second year in a row, we were joined by MaMa Anne and Uncle Robert. This year our niece Bren also came. Here are the photo highlights of our 3 day mini vacay.
