Tennis 101

 

Our first experience with tennis.  Emma Claire was able to go to tennis camp with her dear friend Hannah Harmon.  She really liked it!!!

 

Camping Fun

 

We just got back from a weekend of camping with sweet friends.  the Wilkins were across from us and the Powells were beside us.  There were kids of all ages playing so well together.  This was definitely our best camping trip ever.  Also, all the big kids skiid and all the littles kneeboarded....many for the first time!!!!

 

For some reason, Farrow Kate and Hughes Powell having a running push up competition going on.....and Farrow Kate is in the lead.

Happy Father's Day

Jim really has been asking for sod, soooooo, for Father's Day, we gave him 1 1/2 pallets of sod and a whole lot of help!!!!  Now who is jealous of that gift?

The Life Cycle of a Tonsilectomy

 

 

 Step 1:  Wake up at the crack of dawn because you are excited?????

 

Step 2:  Arrive to see your sweet teacher with a happy for you!!! Everyone is telling you that you are going to get to blow up a balloon and eat ice cream

 

Step 3:   Wake up with your ears pierced!!!!

And then the crash hits and the only way Mommy can get you to rest is in the stroller. 
Nothing tastes good and you feel terrible
 Step 4:  Get home with steroids still in your body and eat popcicles and have sweet friends bring you balloons and treats

And when you perk the least little bit, you get to go get milkshakes and make up to last a life time!!!

 

 

But from this mommy, I have to say, this is torture to watch your baby suffer.  I know this is a routine surgery, so let's count our blessings today because many mommies and daddies watch their kiddos suffer for each breath.

Summer Begins!!!

This year, the whole family went for the May beach trip.  The weather and waves were probably better than the girls had ever seen them.  This did not mean that Farrow Kate wanted any part of it, but Emma Claire and her Daddy sure had fun.  We also got to spend some time with Gramsby and Papa T as well as Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Charlie.  This was a great start to summer. 

 

Another year flown by

 Jim said "Is that really our baby girl graduating kindergarten?"  I cannot believe we will now have a first and second grader.

First One!!

Farrow Kate actually lost her first tooth about 2 weeks ago, but to say life has been crazy, would be an understatement.  This sweet baby is so excited.  The tooth fairy is another whole story:)
