1st Day of School: 2011-2012 School Year

It was back to school time for the girls today! Rachel started 5th grade (which is in the middle school) and Katelyn started 3rd grade. They both had GREAT days today and had all sorts of good things to tell me about their classes, teachers, classmates, etc. Rachel was a little nervous about starting middle school, but she was so excited when I picked her up this afternoon! She loved it!!!



















Sleepover with Friends

Some of our good friends, the Chimleys, are in the process of moving to Chattanooga. This past week-end they were working on purging at their house here in LC - you know, cleaning out those closets, under the beds, those boxes that were never unpacked from your previous move, etc. Anyway, they had asked if their girls could maybe hang out with our girls for a couple hours one day, but we suggested they just spend the night with us on Friday and hang out with us Saturday! There was quite a bit of giggling, laughing, playing, talking, coloring, dress-up, Wii, etc.!! Saturday afternoon we took them to my mom & dad's house to swim for a while. Unfortunately, it started to thunder and we had to get out of the pool, but we did get to swim for about 30-45 minutes. Our girls had a blast hanging out with Catherine & Virginia! Sure will miss our friends as they complete their move to Chattanooga!

Here are Virginia & Katelyn getting ready for bed.

We played with my underwater camera in the pool. I thought this picture of Virginia was super cute!

Stretching and getting ready to swim




Logan, Rachel, & Madison - three awesome swimmers!



Not sure what Rachel is doing - looks like she's trying to help land an airplane!

At swim meets, swimmers write their events, heat numbers, and lane numbers on their arms. Since Rachel was singing the National Anthem, she wanted me to put that on her arm too!
