The kids are starting back to school on Monday and we can't believe it. We have spent the summer moving into our new house in Ormewood Park in East Atlanta. It was a little rough at first with all the transitions, but we have met lots of great people and kids and can walk to get ice cream! My sister, Shawn, was here for 5 days helping us right after the move and was a great help. Thank you Sis! Couldn't have done it without her. We are still doing final fix ups - painting trim, caulking, fixing hardwood floors, putting on door knobs, etc. But it's very livable and comfortable.
We didn't get a vacation this year - my vacation was moving - but we did meet my Brother at the NC/GA state line for a weekend of camping in late June. We did a little skiing, tubing, eating, skipping rocks and just relaxing. It was very nice to spend time with Matt, Wendy, Taylor and Tanner and we hope to do it again before the year is over. We had a huge Thunderstorm that everyone slept through, except me. I was too worried about the kids getting wet and we weren't in any luxury tent. We all 4 just fit!
Aidan moved to his blue belt in karate, so he's doing well. Christine took McKenna to get her ears pierced today and we should have some pix of that up soon. They took swimming lessons all summer and we learned that they are both little fishes! Our money paid off as they are enjoying the local pool here and are having fun diving for toys.
McKenna turned 5 on July 28th, I turned 42 on July 10th, Shawn turned 43 on July 24th. So we had a great month of celebrating!
Overall we had a great summer. It always goes too fast - especially when you do something as time consuming as renovate a house and move! I'll let you know how the first day of school goes.
Hugs
