Back to School...

6th grade

9th grade

Lucky Lia (4th) and Isaac (PK3) get to be homeschooled this year with me.  Well... you can ask them later if they think they are lucky.  ;-)

Emily is 14

Emily's birthday celebration on her actual birthday was low key.  She was right in the middle of her crazy band camp schedule of 8-12 practice in the mornings and 5-9 practice at night!  We surprised her with cupcakes when she got home so she knew she was loved!

Summer Fun Pics

A summary of some August summer fun:

Southport Maritime Museum

We like the free Maritime Museum at Southport too.  Isaac took his scavenger hunt very seriously and carried his clipboard around checking off the items as he found them.  He was very pleased to get his treasure box prize like his siblings.

We were all glad to get to the beach that evening.

Isaac and Anthony are presenting their drip castle here.  Can you hear the Angels singing?

Serious business.  

Wash all the sand off, buddy.

Southport Marsh Walk

I read about this little 1/8 mile walk and thought it would be worth checking out.  The price was right:  free

Behold the marsh lands.

Hey, Lia, stop and wave!

Can you see the white bird?

It was nice in the shade.
