Kendall's Princess Party

Kendall hasn't had a "real" birthday party for her first or second birthdays. Now that she understands what a birthday party is she has been asking for a "princess" birthday party for quite a while. We figured that was reasonable and there is a local place that does princess themed parties. She had a ball, there was her own princess there who painted her fingernails and led the festivities. We just have to make sure this doesn't become a birthday expectation!

Nana's Birthday Presents for Kendall (and Luke)

Nana brought Kendall some good loot for her birthday! Luke also enjoyed the event :-)

A trip to a Savannah Fountain

The city of Savannah recently tore down a parking garage to make a new "square" (a Savannah word for a park). They added a kiddie fountain that that our kids enjoyed!

Early Birthday for Kendall!

Gary came down for an early celebration of Kendall's birthday. Kendall loved her princess outfits and shoes!!

And, just like Mommy, they love ice cream!

First Day of Kindergarten!

Wow, I can't believe Luke is starting Kindergarten! I got a little teary when it hit me a few days ago that he's now a "big boy" and going off to school. He was very excited to go meet his new friends in his new class! When I took him in it seemed very natural for him, so this morning wasn't as tough as I had feared :-)

Trip Before Kindergarten

I finished summer school and had a couple of days before Luke started kindergarten. He loves Sea World and daddy loves spending time with Luke, so we went to Sea World for a couple of days. We had a ball! Kendall figured out where we went and I have promised her a father/daughter trip next time :-)

This is a very small snake (we thought it was a worm at first) that Luke found. He "saved" it by putting it back in the grass.

These are oyster divers that spend time underwater. Luke thought it was really cool and probably watched them for an hour. I didn't quite get the fascination...
