Lake Keowee; Seneca, SC

We were invited again by the Rogers to join them at their parents lake house, and well, when you get an invitation like that, you take it!!! The weather wasn't perfect but we were still able to fish, go tubing, skiing, and watch college football. The kids had a blast and we were able to share a few laughs so it was perfect. Thank you again Rogers AND O'Brien's for an excellent time!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Summer is coming to an end! When I got up to run with Roscoe this morning it was 70! I made homemade vegetable soup in the crock pot this morning; I know it's not quite THAT cold, but I got excited :)And I am glad that I did because Wade finished his first bowl of soup and asked for more. Woo Hoo!! My boy is asking for more vegetables! But I digress ...
Sunny is LOVING school. She is back with her original 'crew' from when she was in the two year old class. Riley, Ansley and Emma; together again! So I knew the first day would be cake for her. Wade on the other hand ... hold on, let me grab my tissues. It was rough. The drop off went okay, then (and this is the replay from the teacher) he cried from 9 until 10:15. He didn't want any snack (very unlike him!) but when he went outside to play, he was the happiest kid on the playground. When they came in for lunch, he didn't eat anything but his fruit roll up (again, unlike him to pass up food) and then cried. The teacher laid out his rest mat which he went over to and fell asleep on. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLASSROOM. He woke up around the time the parents were picking up and started crying AGAIN.
He goes again tomorrow, only two days a week. I am praying that he will enjoy it sooner rather than later.
I, on the other hand, completely oblivious to how bad his first day was going, went shopping at Target then had a very enjoyable lunch date with Rob. Ahhh, Ignorance is Bliss.




The Hooch

Rob went canoeing down the Chattahoochee River with some friends and found this little beach along the way; it even has bathrooms! We have gone down there a couple times; Wade loves throwing rocks in the water, Roscoe loves laying in the water, Riley likes supervising and I like that everyone is happy.
