Hi family and friends! We had a terrific July! It went by so fast and I can't believe I start work for another school year! We've had an amazing and fun filled July! We went to Gram and Papa's house for the Fourth of July - Emma saw fireworks three days in a row, and Kate witnessed her first fireworks show too and enjoyed it! Emma and Kate met their beautiful baby cousin Nicholas, and enjoyed poking and playing with him....not sure he's ready for these two girls!! We also enjoyed trips to the aquarium, the fountains, got our pictures taken by a wonderful photographer (http://www.sweetmagnoliaphotography.net/ - see below!), Stone Mountain, and had a fantastic weekend getaway to Lake Lanier! We enjoyed the lake, the beach, and the water slides. It was a wonderful way to end the summer ( see videos below). The girls are still enjoying the pool, playing in the backyard, and love visits to the parks! We are also excited to say ... Daddy is going back to school to get his MBA! Mike has started this two year journey and we are very proud of him! We'll miss him one weekend a month, but know this is what he needs to do and he's going to be great! It's hard to believe that our little miracle Emma.....turned three at the end of this month! It seems like just yesterday that she was born and here she is....our little princess just growing every day! She enjoyed her birthday with both sets of her grandparents and Uncle Jay Jay of coarse....and sissy Kate helped her eat LOTS of cake! She enjoyed playing with her friends in the Big Splash Fountains - and we all feel very lucky to have such wonderful friends and family that helped us celebrate! We love you all! We hope you are having a wonderful summer - and hope to see you all soon! You are always welcome in Atlanta! Xoxox
