Our PA Cousins Visit

Our cousins from my Dad's side of the family up in Pennsylvania came down to visit and we caught up with them at First Landing State Park in VA Beach. Jonathan is 3 months older than Bryden, and Nathan is 1 year younger than Emmy. All the kids got along FABULOUSLY, it was one of those great, rare days where there were no arguments, just good times for everyone. Parenting is so much easier when the kids all get along! What a great day!

Ice Cream at the Pool

Ahhh, we spent many a day at the pool this summer. I was head coach for the Old Church Otters, and Bryden was on the team, and Emmy got stuck hanging out at practice most days. But, we got to play at the pool a lot this summer, which consequently meant we ate a lot of ice cream! Enjoy!

Bryden's Theater Camp

IWe signed BRyden up for a camp with the Christian Youth Theater. They put on some amazing shows, and they had a camp this year close to home, and Bryden LOVES to be on display, so we figured it would be perfect. It was, she absolutely loved it. They performed "The Lion King" and Bryden was "Flower #2" and said two lines "Where are you from? Why are you all alone?" The production was actually quite amazing, considering the group of about 50 kids ages 5-12 sang about 5 songs and it was all choreographed. We thought they did awesome. I will post a video soon!
