Happy 3rd Birthday Hartley!

Our sweet Hartley is three years old! Being the younger of 2 older brothers she def understands what Birthdays are and was asking a lot about hers! Although very excited about her party, she didn't enjoy it. Hartley is not a fan of big functions at our house.. We held her the entire time and she cried through her birthday song. As folks left she did enjoy her presents but seemed still overwhelmed. Hartley loves Dora so we had a Dora themed party for her to celebrate! We are so thankful for the gift that she is to our family!

End of the summer and The START OF SCHOOL!

The summer ended well and my babies started school. Thomas is hanging out in the 2nd grade again and sweet West started all day Kindergarten. This was a big big adjustment for him but after a week of working with the amazing guidance counselor and his patient teachers he is doing great! Thomas walks him to his class most days and it's just precious to watch them walk down the sidewalk together once they get out of the van. Thomas is doing great, he's in the highest math and group and getting nearly As on everything else! I volunteer for Thomas' teacher on Monday ams and West's teacher on Wednesdays, I love being in their school!

  Meet the teacher night! West's sweet friend from preschool Ann Grace, they've been together since they were 2!

 First day of school! The 2nd picture Mrs. Beaudrots texted me to show me West was happy at school, such a blessing!

                      Hartley and West's reaction to know "Uncle Martin" was singing at church!

                                      Lighting a candle to pray for Molly and the process at church..

                                                 Hartley really really loves her cousin Samantha!

                                                    West's favorite show is Duck Dynasty!

Edisto Beach 2013

We were home for one week and then headed to Edisto with my family for a week. It was a wonderful time, so much fun to just be so close to the beach, and have an outside shower! So much fun! A little pre Edisto in there also, our fav snow cone place, Sullivan's with my sweet friend Stacey and meeting a fellow China momma who was in town for fingerrpints!
