Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4


School Year 2011-2012

Well this year Bella is in 2nd grade at Lincoln. She has Mrs. Croft and really likes her. Carter is a big boy and has started preschool at Early Advantage Preschool. He goes two hours every day. He wasn't sure he wanted to go by himself but now he loves it and spends most of his morning asking "Is it almost time for school?"

Myrtle Beach

We had such a great time in Myrtle Beach this year. It's been four long years since we took a vacation and we are so glad we did. We spent most of our days at the beach and pool, but we also had a great time out and about. The kids went to Pirate School and we all went to Alligator Adventure at Barefoot Landing. We also went to Ripley's Aquarium where Bella had a mermaid make-over and Carter got to be a sailor. We also rode the speedboat at Broadway at the Beach. As you can see on the last pictures, Bella got bit by something and she has a strong allergic reaction to bites. So it started to swell into her eyes and she had to go to the ER, where they gave her Prednisone and Benadryl. We also spent the week without A/C in the van because it went out two hrs before we got into Myrtle. We decided to have a good time anyways....and we did!!

COSI!!!

My mom and I took the kids to COSI today. They had such a wonderful time. We got to visit the space, ocean, and gadgets exhibits. Plus they got to see the Big Machines and Dinosaur exhibit going on now. Bella rode the unicycle high above the entryway. She now wants one for Christmas. It was a lot of fun and a perfect idea for a rainy day.
