Noah's first day of Pre-Pre-School (aka Mom's Day out)

Ellie's pre-school started a Mom's Day out program
this year for 2 year olds... So I bit the bullet and enrolled
Noah.. Who last year every time i took or picked
up Ellie wanted to stay..

Power Lab Vacation Bible School

This was our first year to participate in VBS and
we had so much fun. I taught the wacky crafts
this year and I must say the program was fabulous.

Ellie had so much fun..

Even Noah got to participate some. He especially
loves Mr Greg and his wacky coat of treats..

One of my crafts was oozing slime...Ellie had too
much fun sliming me and the table too.

Dancing with her crew

Test Tube Treats

Captiva

We took our summer vacation to Captiva Island with
our dear friends the FItzgeralds this year.. Most of the
time the weather was wonderful and we
spent most our time on the water or at the beach.

This picture was right before one of the most awesome
thunderstorms.

The sea was really churning as the storm was kicking up

Swimming at the pool

we rented a boat one day to tool among all the islands.. While
there we ate at the origional Cheeseburgers in Paradise joint
on Cabbage Key.

Swim Lessons

We are taking swim lessons this year again
for Ellie and for the first time for Noah...

Ellie is loving it because she is learning strokes, but
Noah of course has his moments of hating it..

birthday...complete with balls inside.
