Thank God it's Friday!

Friday happy hours are back! This is the day of the week where we sit in the drive way, enjoy a tall cool one, eat some snacks (Tiffany, you must make that dip again!), let the kids go crazy and unwind from the week that is now behind us.

We're blessed to have both old friends and new friends. Even though it seemed like 110 degrees outside, we still had a great time. Hunter, Ben, Emily and Grady - welcome to the neighborhood!

Goooooooooooal!

Soccer season has officially begun! Marisa is ready for her first game...she's got her soccer headband, her pink and white socks, her pink and black cleats and a can-do/soccer star attitude.

I'm thinking there are many goals in her weekend future :)

Bark, bark, yip, yip and off comes your siding!

Tropical Storm Hanna is gone, but not forgotten.

Kind of an ironic story. Cheryl and Sam (aunts) used to have a dog named Hanna. When Hanna was a puppy, I put her in the pool so she could swim. She absolutely hated it. And, decided to hate me. You could see a look of disgust in her eyes everytime I visited.

Anyway...our house has been through way worse storms than Hanna...hurricanes, nor'easters and thunderstorms. Never once have we had a problem. Never. Until now. Hanna came back to bite us.

Somewhere in doggy heaven, Hanna got the last laugh :)

(and while I was taking pictures of the damage, I came across a HUGE spider...AAHH!)

First day of school!

Wooo hooo!
