Fun toenails!  Mrs. Fritz has been awesome at painting our toenails every other week. She does a great job with adding dots!

Abbey in her room

Some beautiful roses from a future piano family - she grew them herself!

Joel's form of torture for Luke

Gaeligh's birthday party at the Frog Pond.  She had it early since they moved to Kentucky shortly afterward. Yes, we had to say goodbye to ANOTHER good friend this summer.  We hope she visits a lot.  Amelia, Emma, Kayla, Ansley, and Gaeligh

Gaeligh opening her gifts. We got her a charm bracelet.

Hanging out during adult swim.  They did however, get up and dance at one point.  Everyone was looking at them and they didn't care at all.

I have no idea what transpired here. The girls had a friend over and this is how Luke ended up. He doesn't look upset about it.  Those are all tights tied into knots.

Rosemary Flagg! We were so lucky to see the Flaggs for a few hours on their way to Richmond.  I couldn't believe how much the kids had changed - Rosie didn't even remember us!

Emma with her new haircut.  I cut it a little shorter than normal, I always forget that not only is her hair going to shrink when it's dry, it also has a natural wave that causes it to shrink even more!  I think she looks extra cute though :)

Amelia found my old 6th grade cheerleading outfit from Eisenhower Elementary School.  Doesn't she look cute?

She's all ready to be a cheerleader!

Amelia got her ears pierced!  Her friend got her ears pierced first, and she followed soon after. She picked gold stars for her first earrings.

When in Pennsylvania I got to visit with my best friend from junior high, Becky Turner. Here she is with her 9th (yes, that's 9 kids total) baby whose name is Annie. She is such a sweetie.

Here we are - 23 years later

Amelia and Natalie - she loved to carry her around and play with her.

Amelia, Aunt Rebecca, and Emma at Nanna and Pap-Pap's house in July

They are all ready for our trip to Idlewild - it was almost 90 degrees that day and very humid. The Soak Zone was a great place to be in the afternoon.   This was probably our most successful trip to Idlewild yet!  No one threw a fit and we got to stay longer than usual.
