Some Firsts!!

                                               Anna enjoying grocery shopping

Today was a day of firsts!  Ava started her dance class and Anna was able to sit in the front of the grocery cart.  Slow down time...my girls are growing up so fast!

Labor Day 2013 at the lake

The girls and I had a blast at the lake over Labor Day weekend.  Ava had a great time by overcoming some of her fears of riding in the float behind the boat and riding on the jetski.  Anna decided she likes to stand up. She has to be helped to her feet but once she is standing she is all smiles.  I was again reminded of the amazing, Godly, wonderful, loving family that I have and I am thankful!

Remember that time when I was a great blogger and I blogged and posted pictures every day or at least every week.  Well, that all changed with Miss Anna came in the picture.  This summer was both busy and laid back.  It was packed with fun times at the house, with family and with great friends.  We were having so much fun that I forgot to blog!  Since Anna was so little and still on the two, sometimes three naps a day, we stayed around the house alot this summer.  We did make some special trips to Greenville and the lake house.  We started the summer with saying goodbye to two amazing K3 teachers.  We then filled the summer with times at the park, play with friends, picnics in the back yard and finding joy in simple things.  Both my girls had a summer full of first with Ava learning to swing by herself, swimming and riding the jet ski, to Anna sitting up, eating table food and even starting to clap and move around. The summer ended with Ava starting K4 with two amazing teachers, Miss Robin and Miss Pam.  Even though it was a simple summer, it was oh so sweet!!
