Just doin' what we do

Nothing beats a couple of grilled chicken breasts and a bowl of fresh veggies! My friend brought over some fresh squash from his garden, so I added onion, green peppers, and a touch of salt and pepper. Yummy!
Definitely my MVP!

Mia is still Mia.....always into something but cute enough to talk her way out of the trouble.

This is Adelle's friend leafy. He was sitting out on the deck last night and she adopted him for a while. She finally got a stick and helped him into the tree.

Miss Adelle and Leafy.

A couple of my favorite pix from this summer

Emily lounging at the pool before her swim team awards.
She's in the far lane getting ready for her backstroke heat. She won her freestyle heat and took 4th in her backstroke heat. She didn't make the finals, but that's pretty good for only her second year on the team. We were very proud parents.

Adelle in front of the Dean Dome. This was her first time inside the building made famous by so many great Tar Hell basketball teams. The 2009 banner isn't up yet, but she marveled at all of the other banners in the rafters. She particularly like all of the retired numbers and other jerseys.

It's hard to get so many banners in the picture!

Cutler Carlson = the next US tennis prodigy!

First day of school

Yes, the first day of school was July 15. On the year round schedule, they are on six weeks, then off six weeks. This way, they get a vacation during each season.

Here is Miss 4th Grader:

And the new student, who's very excited about going to school with her sister. When we got home tonight, she said, "I wish I was still at school." Her teacher and assistant teacher are both very nice. We love Easley Elementary very much and are glad to be in this district.
