We have had a great summer in North Carolina. I just can't believe that the summer is over with and Sydney started school. Fourth of July we went to a neighborhood party that was put together by our friends this is the second year and it is a great time. We have spent a lot of time at the pool because it has been so hot down here. The girls have had a lot of fun swimming all summer long...Brooke will now go down the water slide by herself and Sydney is becoming a really good swimmer. Next summer both girls are going to get signed up for swim lessons. They will do it right at our pool which is nice. Our new back patio that we add onto the back of the house has been used a lot...we have had a lot of great friends over enjoying a drink or two. A lot of fun nights out there with great friends.
Sydney started soccer the beginning of August and she is loving it. Her first game of the season is this Saturday and soccer goes until the middle of November it is going to be a busy few months. She also started school on Wednesday...first grade I can not believe it. She is getting so big..not my little baby anymore she is my big girl! I keep telling her to stop growing please and she tells me that she will always be my baby know matter how big she gets. She got a really nice teacher and she has already made friends in her class.
Brooke is getting so big. She is also growing into a little girl not a baby anymore. She would love to go to school but I told her next fall she will go for a couple of days for preschool.
Shawn has started his new job and he loves it. I'm keeping busy with babysitting children from the neighborhood. We are all doing great and we hope that everybody else is doing great!
