Let's play catch-up!


What a wonderful busy summer we have enjoyed! We planted our very first veggie garden this year, and it was so exciting to watch our hard work and God's gifts blossom and grow each day! We camped quite a bit...which we of course love! This summer was extra exciting because Ma-maw bought a beach house and we definitely spent a lot of time enjoying the beach life!!! For me the beach is my heaven, I am happiest on any beach! When we made ourselves stay home, which wasn't very often, we began to update, organize and decorate Hannah and Brunson's rooms! If you know me, you know I hate to paint! We updated our trim to white, it was a very dark, very dated trim. We painted Hannah's room from hot pink and green to pale pink and brown, rearranged her furniture, bought some new accessories, de-cluttered and probably a lot more! Still have several finishing touches to do, but such a great start! Brunson got his furniture painted from pine to black with painted hardware, new gamecock accessories - even the new ceiling fan got USC decorated, de-cluttered and so much more! We still have to repaint his room along with some finishing touches as well. Brunson turned 7 on August 6th - oh my baby is no baby anymore :( - he had a great time celebrating this year with the boys! Mama don't care for this male bonding stuff, I don't like being left out...but understand the importance of it. Hannah and I sure enjoy our girl time, which of course always means SHOPPING!!! So as you can tell we had a fantastic super busy family filled summer and I enjoyed every bit of it! So now we are in our second day back in school, Hannah is now a mature 4th grader and Brunson is...I can't believe it, a 2nd grader!!! Both kids are at the same school this year, they are super excited about school and they are loving their new teachers! We are off to having a great school year!
