Emma Claire turns 7!!!

 

In usual Thompson family tradition, she celebrated all week.  She woke up to flowers from Daddy on her birthday, had a celebration at school, at soccer, family in town, and a tie dye Charlotte's Web party on Friday complete with a stay in the "shotel" that night with indoor pool.  What more could a gal ask for.

Pumpkin Carving

This year, Mama got to try out her carving skills since Daddy wasn't here.  Not too bad for the first time.  Unfortunately, Emma Claire fell and spread the pumpkin seeds that they had worked so hard to get out all over the yard.  Guess we will cook those next year!!

 

Field Trip to Memphis Zoo

 

I was priveledged to go with Emma Claire and her class to the Memphis Zoo Friday.  The weather was perfect and the group of girls we had were so sweet!!  I wouldn't trade that time with her for anything.

 

In Action!!

 Poor FK doesn't stand a chance in height!!

Ready or not, here comes soccer season!!!

This year, Emma Claire is on "Lightning" and Farrow Kate is on "Pain Management".  I found Farrow Kate's team name very ironic.  Daddy bought them a soccer net to put on his Greenbrier field.

 

Daddy turns 30 something??@@!!??

Happy Birthday Jim!!! Glad he is a good sport to get dressed in whatever they give him to wear.

Lake Days!!

We closed out the last weekend before school with great friends, the Warrens and Brashiers, at the Warren's lake house.  We got the itch and have been every weekend since.  Emma Claire has learned to ski and Farrow Kate has learned to knee board and really likes the hotdog.  Too bad Mom's toe is broken and can't ski.  It has been really fun ( and tiring) teaching them.  I have much more appreciation for My Mac and Mr. Hawthorne who taught so many of us to ski.

If you look in the far right corner, you can see Emma Claire skiing.  Jim was trying to drive the boat and take her picture.  I was somewhere in the water.  I guess we need to teach Farrow Kate to use the camera.
