August 2015

It's awesome to finally be catching up on the blog after a year hiatus.  Here are our August 2015 photos!

 

Back to school!  10th grade and 8th grade! 

 

 

So proud of this kiddo!  He's having a great year! 

 

Thomas's 10th grade photo.  Thank you to April Knox!

 

 We had friends over one Sunday and we all just literally floated in the pool, eating chips and popsicles.  It was awesome.

 

Bailey and Toby joined us on the pool deck.  They get along so well.

 

 

On our way into church one morning.  Love. 

 

Our friends the Therbers came back from Chapel Hill for a weekend.  We loved seeing Sophie, Cora, and mom Kathy.  It was so good to see Kathy who is recovering from breast cancer.  She looked great!!

 

We have a new driver in the house!  Thomas got his learner's permit!

 Here was his first day of driver's ed.

 And my first time as his passenger.  Soooo strange!

 

 

We had a record number of puppy parties in August.

Snickers and Jack came over (along with Lauren, Matthew, and Gigi)!

It was raining so we had an indoor puppy party and it was great.

 

Neighbors came down to play too.

Storm, Pippa, and Bailey (with Lyla, Thomas, and Brennan)

They all get along so well.



 

Pippa LOVED David.

Brennan and Snickers 

Bailey is attending a Good Citizen (AKC training) class.  He takes his training very seriously and is very good in class :)

 

And it was time for Maltipoolooza 2015!

 

Emmersen, Jetta, and Thomas

Caitlyn and Jetta

 

 

We love to have the dogs play together. Jetta is Bailey's half-sister and Maggie is their cousin!

David and Thomas are training for their first half marathon in 2 weeks!

Here they are after their longest run yet - I think this one was 7 miles.

I attended the Philharmonic annual meeting where I am a board member.  Love my time with the Phil.

I call this one "Waiting for Abbie".  His BFF comes down most afternoons to run and play.

 

I also give tours through our Visitors Center - I took this shot just before my architecture tour started.  Very proud of where we live.

 

Did I mention Thomas got a job?!  His first job!

He's working at our local Children's Museum.  It's a great job for him and he's working quite a few hours.  Between school, work, running, Robotics, church, and a social life - he's quite busy.

 

I dropped him off at work one day and Bailey and I had 45 minutes to kill before picking up Brennan.  So we took a walk downtown.

Our church.  Bailey loves to visit because the beautiful ladies in the office always have treats for him. 

 

 

Finally, fun at Schaefer Lake with friends at the end of August.

Cookout, tubing, pontooning, swimming, canoeing, kayaking.

What a great afternoon!
