School Time!

It's fall, which means it's back to school time! And guess who's joining Jackson this year? Cooper!! He started walking in July, which means there's no reason he can't go! He goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings, while Jackson goes 5 mornings a week. Even though Jackson's 5, we decided to wait a year on full kindergarten. He's in a transitional K program - they do a kindergarten curriculum, but alot more play based and smaller size. So far, he's loving it!

First Day:


Now i'm not so sure!:


Brotherly Love:


And a couple end of summer pictures- here's Jackson getting his trophy from t-ball:


One fun part of living in NC, this lovely black widow was in our garage!! When the bug man came he said "Wow, that's a big one"

10 Year Anniversary trip

I know i'm SO overdue on blogging, but with Jackson home this summer it just seemed like I never had more than 10 minutes to work on it. I promise to be more regular now that school is back in session.

Jeff & I celebrated 10 years of marriage on July 8. It is crazy to me since I certainly don't feel 10 years older, and it seems like just yesterday we started dating (1994). We spent a long time deciding where to go and finally settled on Asheville, NC. We got engaged there at the Grove Park Inn in 1999, so it definately had meaning for us, and we hadn't been back since. We went from Monday- Thursday and crammed alot of stuff in! We stayed in Biltmore Village at the Grand Bohemian and had a fabulous stay. We went white water rafting (my first time ever) and visited Chimney Rock. And had some of the best food I've ever eaten!!!

Jeff does NOT enjoy heights!

Happy Anniversary to us!! We don't look 10 years older, do we???
