I hate to give such a lame excuse for not updating this blog but our camera broke in June. We just replaced it last week and so I have no more excuses. I have managed to pull some pics together from our time apart.
Since June our crew has gone back to school and things are going well. Baylen loves kindergarten and is making great strides in learning to read. It is a struggle to keep up with his "homework," but we do our best. Collin is having a great new year in school (yeah!!) and his teacher is great. Brooklyn goes to a babysitter twice a week so I can help at the store. This has been a real lifesaver because there is not a preschool class in town for Brooklyn's age.
Baylen is on a new soccer team and Britt is coaching. The team is called the Fire Ants and they are really fun to watch. Collin is starting to get into it and has started to practice with the team - this has become a great outing that the boys really look forward to each week.
We just got back from a long weekend in Pensacola. Allison and Lauren, our potential new next door neighbors, went with us and we had a blast. We played on the beach, went to the navy museum, visited with friends, and dined at our favorite restaurants. It was a nice retreat but we went without Collin. He went on a trip with Mumsy to New York and Atlanta. He was a little homesick but seemed to enjoy himself. We all missed him terribly and were happy to have him home. Mumsy spend a few days with us but has now departed on her next excursion - Turkey.
Next week we take off for Disney World where we will celebrate Collin's 4th birthday. We are ALL very excited. We plan on taking the kids around Stetson on our way down to show the kids where their parents fell in love (he he!) After a couple of days at Disney, David McKinney, a good friend of ours from Pensacola, is getting married in Orlando. Britt is in the wedding and we expect to see a lot of people we have not seen in a while. We are really looking forward to it!
So that brings us up to date. Sorry that this has been a rather boring post - just catching you up with our lives. I really hope to be better at updating the blog and keeping in touch with our good friends and family.
