more from our lake weekend

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

I don't know if you've noticed from other posts, but Kate has become quite the camera queen. Every time I get the camera out or start to take a picture with my phone, she starts up her fancy pose and smile. This phase might not last so I am taking advantage of it and getting lots of sweet pictures of her :)

helping Uncle Joey drive the boat!

On Sunday afternoon we tried out some Roman candle fireworks that Uncle Joey shared with us.

Aunt Tasha was so sweet to do some french braids for the girls on Monday morning. Unfortunately since it's not something that they are used to, they weren't crazy about it and took the braids down almost immediately. I love it, though...I must learn how to do it!

Hank finally made it into a picture by the end of the weekend!

Very thankful for a restful weekend with each other.

last days of preschool

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We had a fun time last week celebrating the end of a preschool year.

On Monday Kate's class invited us for a program and we went again on Wednesday for Vivian's.

They did an awesome job with big smiles and sweet singing voices.

Everything went so smoothly with preschool this year and the girls had a great time making friends.

Hank and Papa watching for Kate to come in for the program.

Kate is the smiling zebra on the far left.

This is one of her closest little friends. So sweet together!

Vivian's class on Wednesday with their certificates. She is on the far right, middle row.

That morning before I dropped them off, I asked for a last day of preschool picture. This is what I got!

Cracks me up!

Hank watched the show!

There was a reception afterwards for both programs.

Vivian was excited about the new book in her goodie bag that the teachers gave her.

A mini photo shoot after the reception!

first day at the lake, memorial day weekend

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

View of everyone from the condo. We spent that Saturday afternoon in that spot. So peaceful.

Sunbathing sister-in-law :) She needed the rest and relaxation after the crazy busy past couple of months that she's had.

Joey set us up with some music.

Lucas came from Lucama and brought the awesome Interstate Battery cornhole boards that he made.

baton recital fun

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

A few Sunday afternoons ago we attended Tasha's baton recital (she has been teaching baton classes in Salem for many many years!).

Kate and I got a little camera-happy while waiting for the show to start.

The girls were so entranced by the baton twirling! Kate got in the aisle to see better. A very girly afternoon outing!

legos and carpet

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

These girls love legos.

They played for about an hour together with this simple set today.

And they are enjoying the new soft, clean carpet in that room beside the kitchen!

We all are. We replaced it a few weeks ago.

We also did some new things to the bathroom. I will share pictures soon, when I can add a few more finishing touches to the decor.

tennessee road trip

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

This past weekend was a busy one for us.

We loaded up the car and drove to Tennessee to visit Aaron's old youth pastor, Jeff, and his family.

Bryan came from NC to ride with us and spend the weekend with the whole crew!

We spent time at their house on Saturday afternoon, and then went out to eat that night.

On Sunday we worshipped with them at their church (Jeff is now a senior pastor) and Aaron spoke to the congregation.

And then we drove home!

I got some pictures from the back seat, mostly of the baby boy who stared at me while he was awake.

He was pretty content about 85% of the trip. His naps were short. There were a few moments that he just lost it from being sick of sitting in that seat! We all know how a baby can make or break a road trip.
