May and June 2014

Where has the time gone? Summer is already half over :( We have had so much fun the past few months, and been very busy! During the month of May we finished up spring sports! Emma really enjoyed her first season of Lacrosse and Kate continues to do cartwheels everywhere we go after a spring session of tumbling! Molly also had fun at her Mother Goose class (Singing and Dancing), and can't wait to start ballet when she is three! Daddy continues to play "old man's lax" as they call it down here, and we love heading to the turf to watch our #7 play every weekend! It is hard to believe that Emma will be in 3rd grade and Kate will be in 1st next year! Both girls had fantastic teachers and wonderful years! They learned so much and made some great friends! As soon as the school year ended, it was GO  GO  GO time for the big girls, we packed up and went to Sunset Beach for Memorial Day weekend..We had a great visit with Gramma and Grampa Bee, and the big girls were extra lucky because they stayed for an entire week! They had a BLAST at Camp Gramma and Grampa where they went to the beach, Medieval Times, learned to golf, and took a visit to Myrtle Beach.. We sure did miss them though, especially Molly!! When they returned summer vacation was in full swing! They loved swimming with their friends, visiting the library, and going on fun field trips with Mommy :) We then headed to Hilton Head Island which is our favorite place on the planet! We enjoyed a week there with Gram and Papa, and cousins Nicholas and Owen, Aunt Kathryn and Uncle Mark too! It is always hard to leave there! Wish we could spend the whole summer in Hilton Head! The girls have been busy since that trip ended! VBS (Vacation Bible School) is always one of their favorite camps to attend, more swimming, book clubs with mommy's tutoring groups, more field trips, and lots of late nights catching fire flies and eating Popsicles in the back yard! It really has been a sweet summer so far! We are also so excited that we have a NEW nephew in the family! Lucas Joe was born June 20th! He is just a doll face and we are anxious to get to Columbus to see him in July!! We hope everyone has had a wonderful summer, and would love visitors anytime down south! Come see us!

Love,
The Barratt Family
