Highlights from the past few months...

A lot has happened since my last post.

Scouting!


In May, Connor and Tyler concluded the 2012-2013 Cub Scouts year.  Connor has stepped up to Bear status.  Tyler completed all of the Cub Scout requirements and crossed over to Boy Scouts.  He also earned the Arrow of Light Award.

Sports!
Connor has played on two baseball teams since the spring.  Over the summer, Tyler decided to try his hand at baseball and joined a team as well.  They both played very well and gained a lot of experience with the summer league.  Currently, Connor is playing on another baseball team and Tyler is playing soccer.  Practices just started last week.  I love watching my boys play sports!

High five for stealing third base!! Go Connor!
                        
Tyler is up to bat!













Vacation!
We spent a week during the summer in Cape San Blas, Florida.  This is our all time favorite place to be.  Typically, we stay for 4 nights.  This year, we took the plunge and stayed a week.  Needless to say, we had a great time!  The weather was beautiful the entire stay.  On the last day, a storm was brewing and drew sharks to the shore and Connor actually caught one with his net! 





Helen, Georgia

With my mom living in South Carolina, Helen is halfway between us. We met there and rented a cabin near the Unicoi State Park. We tubed down the Chattahoochee River, then filled our bellies with a wonderful meal and topped it off with goodies from the candy shop! 

New School Year!
Tyler started the 6th grade.  Connor is a big 3rd grader!   Baylee sure did miss the boys when they started school!  She moped around the house for days.

College!
Sarah made the transition to dorm life on August 16th.  She truly has the cutest dorm on her hall!

Her classes started on the 19th and she is already smothered in homework and tests.  She says she loves it, though!  So far, she has come home every weekend :)  Yes, I know...that won't last long, but we are soaking it up while we can!

Two Freckle Monogram Boutique!
Sarah is off to college and the boys are getting older.  I considered applying for a part time job, but figured it would be more fun to combine my two loves... sewing and monograms! I love sewing and I love anything monogrammed!  So, I combined the two.  I have been creating the sweetest baby burp cloths, trendy pocket tees, monogrammed tanks and sweatshirts, and adding personalization to kitchen towels, bath towels, beach hats, and so much more.
