Let the Race Begin

We participated in the Mt. Airy Forest Great Amazing Family Race along with 25 other families.



We brought our team mascot, who pooped out after 3 miles of running.
Many got into it and dressed alike.


On the bus ride.







Race reminders, although Michael will probably not easily forget eating the "worms".















We came in 4th with two teams finishing for 2nd/3rd just a couple of minutes before us. Ainsley and Kaley were good competitors!

1st Day of School

Reading Mail


Coco dug her toys out of the laundry room the first day the girls were at school and just hung out all day on their bean bag chairs.


Kaley and "her" dog.






First DAy!!!!









We love dad!







Coco rides again

I tried for 20 minutes to get Coco to walk up to school with me to pick up the girls on Friday. After no avail, I decided to fasten her into Ainsley's bike basket and ride her up to school, which was quite a sight, for many reasons. Anyways, the girls decided to take Coco for a ride again today. She loves it.

John Isner- Tennis with the girls

The girls played a lot of tennis this summer. To end the summer, they played with John Isner. He gave Kaley some good pointers and Ainsley had a nice little rally with him.

Kaley giving John Isner a big High Five as he left the courts.
















Ainsley was being silly about being the tallest kid there....guess she forgot about John- 6'3"






At the Western & Southern Group Tennis Tourney.

Lucky enough to be in the Arch at Noon, when the World's Tallest Manmade Geyser went off, it too, is 630 ft- just as tall as the Arch.

So, here it is...the Bascillica where our ancestors owned the land while still in the hands of the French-
