Annual Beach Trip!!!

 We left on a Saturday and met Uncle Pete, Aunt Karen, Uncle Karl and Aunt Melissa, Omi and Popop at one of our favorite beach places. We were way up north on the Outer Banks, walking distance to a huge wildlife area. We saw the wild horses again and much beautiful wildlife and we had a wonderful time building beautiful memories with family.
Wet suits this time of year are really a necessity.
The first year this darling got a wet suit.
Riding the waves  and there were some big ones!
Rick and his lovely sweety pie.
Uncle Pete suited up and was ready to go!!!


And lifeguards on hand! Happy Birthday, OMI!

After the surf, time for the hot!
Lunch time!
And we have to make jewlery...
Food?
Chillin' out and this is so nice...

    Love the picture of you and Rick and the one of you by yourself. And yes, the wetsuit photo is definitely for your Christmas Cards--it's perfect--says so much about your family! I want to know where this place is in case we decide to do a family gathering. It looks awesome!!! Glad you had a fun week away.

It is already July but I am putting in the last quarter again. Maybe this is turning into a quarterly update!  This quarter included our family trip to the Outer Banks. It was so great to see everyone. Then we drove to Atlanta. And life in-between.  Wet suits were not even a necessity on this trip! Sunny days and warmer water! I even went swimming a couple of days! This house had an amazing kitchen and we served up heapfuls of food! And our good friend Erin, came to visit us from Florida. She was here for other reasons but we still were able to get together for lunch! Former students getting married! Yup, I'm feeling a little old! The setting was so beautiful! And he drove the entire way home from Atlanta and most of the way there! Gotta get in the historical and nature places when we are somewhere. This place had both. Roswell is one fun town. Onto Myrtle Beach, SC where Beckie, our dear friend and best ever babysitter got married to Ia...

October 2015

October began with TKD testing. Atley tested for her senior blue belt and this was a tough one. I didn't know if she would be able to test but she practiced and practiced and she tested! The forms are very complicated and there is so much to remember. I am impressed with how hard she works and how well she does. A bit nervous walking into test.. Sparring well is also a big part of testing...  She passed!!!! We are studying Flying Creatures this year so I organized a trip for her class to a 700 acre environmental education preserve and they designed a class just for our group! Hands on and very educational. And Melissa and Karl came down for a visit for a few days! Melissa brought tons of her old costume jewlery to share with Atley. And Atley is making a doughnut costume for Halloween. We saw this on YouTube and I thought. "we can do this." Addison's 14!!! His birthday was so fun! Thank you everyone for the car...

Then eating lobsters...  Baltimore airport!  Onto the rental car...  I LOVE this farm!! Atley noticed 2 fish in this picture! Can you see them? Did I mention I LOVE this farm! I LOVE my baby too!! Near the old ice house... Captain Atley! Atley and I have big ideas for this barn but we will have to do this in the south... Nothing like Maine! Missing Alex! Ocean Park And the famous Soda Fountain. The apostle  Paul  said, “Finally, brothers and sisters,  whatever  is true,  whatever is noble ,  whatever is right ,  whatever  is pure,  whatever is lovely ,  whatever  is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — th...
