First Beach Trip 2012

Jim and I made our anniversary beach trip this year.  We did not have girls but did see several family members at my Dad's wedding.  The weather was perfect.  It was so relaxing.  Thank you to Gramsby and Papa T for not relaxing ( and keeping our two wild women).

Renovations

We finally got to repair and add to the building that was rotting down.  I am loving my swing time.  This swing was my great grandmother's.  Many a nap have been taken in it. 

Graduation present

For Graduation, we finally let EC get her ears pierced.  She has begged for a while.  I knew she was truly ready when she sat through a horrible piercing experience with only a few tears.  Her left ear had to be pierced 3 times!!! If you want the details, ask her, she has it down pat.  She is very proud and looks so grown.

Emma Claire's kindergarten Graduation!!!

I cannot believe how this year has flown by.  Emma Claire tearfully and fearfully started this year, but happily and boldly completed it.  How can a mom feel more proud.

Gumtree 2012

Lawndale had a good showing at Gumtree this year.  The girls and Joy and Jim ran the fun run.  I was so proud that they completed the whole thing...and then got soaking wet in the fountain.
