Two more weeks!!!

As I had hoped, the month of September has flown by so far. So much so, that I've been very delinquent on updating our blog.

Things of significance so far this month:

1. Labor Day weekend we traveled to Memphis to spend the holiday weekend with the Eggers family. This is a family tradition since Hamilton's (Leann's brother) birthday falls near Labor Day every year.



When we arrived (after 10 hours of travel time flying, but that's another story) we went directly to Hamilton's football game. The kids were very excited to see him after the game!


The next day, we went to the Delta Fair, where the kids had a ball riding all the super-sturdy fair rides and feeding farm animals!

2. Grace Caroline's First day of kindergarten!!!! What a big girl. She is loving every minute and even wants to go sometimes on Mommy's day off!


Painting the fish that will be used to mark her attendance.

This is what happens when you leave a 5 year old and a 2 year old unsupervised with paint!

Wake up sleepy head!! It's time for your first day of Kindergarten!

All ready to go. We had to go to 4 different stores before we found just the "right outfit" for her first day! Of course, she spilled milk on it at lunch and ended up in bike shorts and a t-shirt (hugs for $1) for the rest of the day!

Signing in

Hugging her teacher, Andrea. "Bye, Mom!"

3. Interviews for Matt at Vanderbilt and Little Rock. Interviews for both of us in Charleston, SC.

4. Ike. Yes, the news didn't lie. There was a hurricane in Cincinnati, OH. Thankfully we did not sustain significant damage and our power was restored quickly.

Things yet to come this month: Matt's birthday, trip to Knoxville for the TN-Fla game, Grace Caroline's birthday. Maybe October will bring some rest. Probably not, though because then we'll need to pack for ETHIOPIA!!!

Soo I think I may know who your little boy is. Two families from my church had traveled to Ethiopia that week (Around June 2nd.) I have a story to tell but I don't know if it is your little guys or not? If you want I could e-mail off line? I need to know your e-mail though...
I bet our boys are friends:)
