Lots To Do=Lots of Procrastinating

Chris' mom sent us a dress similar to one she had a year ago AND we had the bouncy seat out for our yard sale so here are some comparison shots...
Last week we hiked up to North Knob at Windy Gap.  We were hoofing it in the middle of 300 sweaty, stinky high schoolers to see what we could see and enjoy the journey.  It was tougher than we expected (in a good way!), Charlotte did great, and the view amazing.  So much fun!!  They even fed us on the way down and Chris ran into the old GJ area director...and that's the small Young Life world we are going to miss so much.

We are slowly packing up but haven't been able to throw ourselves in fully yet.  Meanwhile, Charlotte's enjoying all the cardboard!
We did have our yard sale though so that's making it a little easier to see what all we need to put in boxes!  We ended up making out pretty well (a BIG thanks to the Womacks for letting us sell stuff for you) and I got to see the salesman side of Chris that I've heard so much about!  "Since you bought that, why don't you just pick up something else on the way to your car?"  We were prepared for some rain, but thank goodness we never needed to use plan B.
This is just a cute little series showing her devotion to her sippy cup, the couch, and her ever-changing physical abilities!

We've got some fun videos to post but I can't get them on youtube temporarily, so check back later. 
Can't believe we've got a week left.  Whoa.

School's Out for Summer!

Well it has been for a few weeks already and it's taken some getting used to--being around each other all day, but it's also been so fun and relaxing.  We basically feel like we are on vacation in our home town :) 

Charlotte is WAY into books right now which is great because it means she'll sit still in your lap for an extended period of time!  She literally pulls all her books off the shelf multiple times a day (guess I should stop putting them back multiple times a day!). 


Here's a snapshot of what we've been doing with our days... 
SPLASHEVILLE!
It's this great fountain with many spouts that shoot randomly and you can sort of choose to get to how wet you want to get.  It's downtown in front of the courthouse and city building and SO fun. Apparently we were on the news this day but we never saw it.


We've been playing with friends and celebrating birthdays...

And learning how to jump...


Happy 4th Everyone!
