Back to school.....

In 2 weeks! Crazy to think that summer is already over! I can't believe it! I'm so not ready for the kids to go back to school! I absolutely LOVE their school, but there are many days I wish we could go back in time and still be homeschooling. But that's not the case, so we have to make the best of it. Justin's book bag and lunchbox should be here next week and we have to get some new tennis shoes for all of them and we will be ready. All their uniforms are clean and in their closets and Jenna and Joshua's book bags and lunch boxes are ready!
Rec league football and cheerleading camps started this week too! All 4 of them are loving it! I'm not loving the heat and bugs so much, but.........the things we do for our kids! I am actually really looking forward to watching all of them at the games!
So, 14 days and counting till school and 1 more weekend at the beach as we head to St Simons Island next weekend! Hope everyone is doing great and having a great summer!

Tampa 2009

As usual, It's been awhile...............
We have been in Tampa for the last week and head home today. We drove down last Sunday after Justin got home from church camp. He had a blast there with his friend Bryce and then it was back in the car for another 7 hours! We have had a GREAT week, despite the 3 days of monsuning rain. We still got to Clearwater 2 days and look like lobsters to prove it! We got to spend a whole day with the Hughes and another night with Ellis and Melissa. We also attended a great July 4th party at Kristys house. It was great to get to spend some time with Dawn and her kids as well, before they move to Dubai in 2 weeks. And we got to spend lots of time with Angel and Phil staying at their beautiful house! Angel and I also spent an entire day running around in the rain. We got soaked, but had a great time doing it!
Now we are preparing/packing to drive back to the ATL today. Sad as always to leave. We so miss all our friends here. But, we'll be back............soon. It was such a relaxing vacation, we are planning on another week in th early fall. Wishing we could come back sooner, but we already have a weekend in St Simons planned for the end of July. MAC flies up to us on Tuesday, and rec league football and cheerleading starts next week. Oh yeah, swim team tryouts on Wed too.......whew, I'm tired just thinking about it!
