Skate World

I know I haven't really posted anything in a little while. Things have been so crazy this past week. I was working late training our orientation leaders and then worked all weekend helping to run the orientation events. Thankfully, today is the first day of classes for our students and I can get back to a regular schedule and regular life.

Last week we took our orientation leaders to Skate World for dinner and some skating fun. Avery had never been on roller skates before and was brave enough to try. She did so well! I was really proud of her and was a little nervious that she would not want to skate after falling down. To my surprise she laughed every time she fell! Everyday I am reminded how amazing she is and that she is growing up way too fast!

Danielle did a great job helping Avery. Thanks!

I'm not sure what skating move Avery is doing here but Maleah is certainly enjoying it!

My little princesses

Oh how my girls love to play dress up!

Playing it safe

Evidently, playing XBox is dangerous enough to have to wear a helmet. However, clothes are optional.

Visiting the "resort"

Last Saturday we visited my good friends, Sarah and Alex and their beautiful little girl, Micah. Alex's parents live in a community with a pool and a water play area where water squirts out of the ground. There are a lot of other cool amenities there and so I've dubbed it "The Resort." We had a super fun day and enjoyed some quality time with great people.

They loved to stick their butts out and have the water splash on their backs.

We love Ju Ju!!

You may be asking yourself "What is a Ju Ju?" Let me explain. My friend, Nicole, bought a Curious George doll for Paige for Chritmas. It has since become her favorite thing - what some might call a "lovey". However, Paige has always referred to him as Ju Ju and so now we all call him that. She now also has a smaller version of Ju Ju that is good for taking places since the original is sometimes to large to carry all over town.

Giving Ju Ju big hugs.
Mini Ju Ju also enjoys the rocking horse.

Just enjoying an afternoon and riding on the rocking horse that Mamaw's brother made for them.

Surf's up

We went to eat at one of our favorite restaurants the other night (Hurricane's) and they now serve their kids meals in a frisbee. Avery had so much fun with this frisbee while Adam and I finished our meals. I think she kept everyone else in the restaurant entertained as well. They all stopped by our table to say hi on their way out the door!
