First Day of School ~ 2009
AK could hardly wait for me to take a couple of pictures before she was off to the bus ~ I'm not sure what she is most excited about...school, recess, lunch or the B-U-S!Em was very excited yet nervous for her first day of middle school. She has such a long day but seems to love being in middle school.They were welcomed home with a special treat...their favorite cookie cake!
The BIG 4-0

Chicago ~ July trip
I can't find the pictures of the decorations....more to come later!
We did a lot of swimming ~ Nic's next door neighbor has a pool and let the kiddos use it. During this trip, we took the GA/Chicago peeps (minus Charlie) to Navy Pier.

Birthday Day Party ~ American Girl Style
AK, Gracie and Em all selected the American Girl Picnic lunch as their meal.
Happy Birthday, Mimi!
A special visitor
The girls were so happy to see her as well as Dan and I ~ She lived here when Emily was born and moved back to California when Emily was 2 1/2 years. Emily was her first great-granddaughter and they have a special bond.
Anna Kate, Nana and Emily sitting on the boat!
Anna Kate and Nana drawing & coloring....one of BOTH of their favorite things to do!
We ordered Nana a yummy cake from Very Vera....it was so very, very good! If you have never had a Very Vera cake then you just don't know what you are missing (www.veryvera.com)!
Happy Birthday, Nana! We love and miss you!
When we visited Nana, the girls and Dan took the opportunity to enjoy the jetski and lake. I like the lake ok (not really) ~ the older I get the more I think water is just toooo dirty for me. I prefer to see the bottom of the place that I'm dipping my toes. :)
