2018 - January - June

I got on to look to see when the last time I posted was, and was shocked to realize it was the first week of January! Time really has flown by and we have been busier than ever!

2018 has been good to us! The girls stayed very busy with their sports this winter and spring.
Emma continued her love of lacrosse and had a wonderful season playing full field middie - and made some of the BEST friends doing it. She has learned so much, and so has her daddy who has loved coaching the sixth grade girls - the continued right into this summer - traveling to Woodstock, GA and Asheville, NC for two wonderful summer tournaments. WE have only been off for one week and they both miss it and can't wait for fall lax!

Kate worked very hard this year in gymnastics to perfect her round off back handspring! She competed in four meets this winter/spring - and did very well at all meets! Floor is her favorite where she scored her Highest floor score yet, and she challenged herself on the bars too and was so happy to get a 9.0 one meet! She continues to train a little this summer and her new goal is her double back handspring back tuck.

Molly's love for everything is so fun to watch...and is a bit exhausting too! She too has a love for lacrosse and her daddy is out there coaching her team as well! She has become quite the little artist too and is loving reading on her own!

All three girls are finishing up their second year of swim team! They continue to break their personal best times, and love the new challenges they work on each week. Emma loves back stroke, Molly loves free style, and Kate loves the Butterfly!

Mike still keeps a very busy work schedule but manages to fit in coaching two lacrosse teams and added director of the girls lax program to his resume. He also still enjoys his Old Man's Lax Games (yes, that is their team name) - and completed his first half marathon this spring! Super proud of him!

I continue tutoring, and teaching preschool. Decided

to go back up to the fours next school year - as I missed that age! I continue to be a taxi for the girls social lives and really actually love it! I keep busy with them, a little tennis, and spending time with wonderful friends in the neighborhood, that has been our new home for almost 2 years now! 

Looking forward to our annual Hilton Head vacation in a few weeks - and Mike and I are off to Scotland in August to celebrate our 15 year anniversary! We can't wait!

Always know you have a home to visit if anyone is down south! We love company!

Happy Summer to everyone!

Fall and The Holidays 2017

It's hard to believe that FALL and THE HOLIDAYS have come and gone. It's 2018 and it's cold....and time has just gone so fast! We have had a great and busy few months! The girls enjoyed the first half of their school year - Emma rocking Middle School, Kate earning awards in 4th grade, and Molly adjusting and loving Kindergarten. They also enjoyed staying busy with their sports. Emma and Molly both played lacrosse this fall, with Coach Mike leading them. Kate continued to train six hours a week in gymnastics, mastering her round off back handspring for the 2018 meet season.
We enjoyed some really beautiful weather, a lot of football, a weekend trip to the mountains, and continue to work on house projects!

The holidays were a crazy time of year as always, but one we always love and look forward to! We enjoyed visits from family - enjoyed traveling to see family, and as always love Christmas and love watching the magic of Christmas through the kids eyes! We even had SNOW and a good amount of it the second week of December!

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year!!!

Much Love,
Mike, Amy, and the Girls
