Wedding Time!






On Mitchell and Amelia's second day of school, August 6th, we did what any other responsible parent would do... we let them skip school! We left right after their first day to head to Winston Salem, NC for our niece's wedding... the rest of the family was also arriving that day and we wanted to spend as much time as we could with them! We had a great visit, the cousins had a blast hanging out together all weekend, and the wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!

First Day of School!




Can it be... that we now have two middle schoolers?! Mitchell is looking forward to being the top dog in the school as an 8th grader, and Amelia is just a little nervous about finding her way around school... and is excited to be sporting her new Hollister shirt and cool mani/pedi! The house sure will be lonely and a lot quieter without them at home... I'm going to miss them!

Mitchell goes to Macon!





Mitchell's Oconee tennis team won their age division this past spring, so they got to go the state championship in Macon, GA! It was a VERY hot weekend, but Mitchell and his team stuck it out and played some hard matches... we were proud of all of them!

Willy Wonka!





Amelia's 11th performance with Oconee Youth Playhouse was in their production of Willy Wonka... she played an Oompa Loompa and a Candy Store Kid! This musical was adorable and Amelia did a wonderful job! The kids in these shows have the best time with each other both on stage and behind the scenes... and an awesome cast party rounds out the fun after the last show. Amelia comes home with many new "autographs" on her tshirt... who knows... one of them may be on a big stage someday!!
