Covenant Care (www.covenantcareadoptions.com) hosted our first annual 5K/Fun Run on August 21st. It was a HUGE success and we had close to 400 participants! Mom and I registered to run the 5K and the week of the race we realized we hadn't even w.a.l.k.e.d a 5K and decided to just walk the 1 mile "Fun Run!" Atleast we had good intentions, right? Chris pulled his hamstring and had to quit right after the race started. We were happy to be there to support our other friends who came out to support this amazing ministry!

1st Day of 2K

Not really feeling the pre-2K pic

Love the upside-down shades...Successful 1st day

Honey and I took MJ to her first day of 2K today...she has been SO excited about starting 2K. Since LG started school, that's all MJ can talk about. I had to explain to her that she was going to 2K next week (the week after LG started school), so when the day finally came I said, "MJ, you're going to 2K today!" She looked at me and said, "No, Mama, I go 2Tay nes week." If you ask her "are you going to school today?", she'll answer with, "no, I go 2tay."

She carried her busy bee bag in, hung it up and then Mrs. S carried her to the "rug." Honey & I were glued to the 2-way window and loved every minute watching her class!

When I came to pick her up, she was ALL smiles as she hopped in the car, and then, she realized Honey was NOT in the car, that she had to sit in her seat AND put on her seatbelt & it was just TOO much for sweet MJ after a long morning of 2K.......

1st Day of 1st Grade

Meet & Greet

Looking big in that seat

One last photo op........heading to 1st grade

Well the four of us piled in the car this morning to take LG to her first day of 1st grade...how exciting! She jumped out of the car with a huge grin on her face. Yesterday, there was a meet & greet so she could meet her teacher (same teacher Daddy had for 3rd grade at FPD).

I have already been awarded the "coolest" mom award for the school year. Yes, I actually packed a princess sippy cup in LG's lunch bag today!!! I had water bottles in the dishwasher, but, actually thought to myself, as I packed the sippy cup, "well, it IS a princess one...it should be fine!" Um, not so much! LG didn't even take it OUT of her lunch bag, so, needless to say, she had NOTHING to drink ALL day! Poor child. My heart skips a few beats just imagining her peering into her lunch bag all excited to find what I had packed for her 1st lunch and low and behold...drumroll...sippy cup alert! Her heart was probably pounding, too, hoping that NO ONE had a visual on the sippy cup. I have since apologized and moved on to more age-appropriate drinking paraphernalia for my 1st grader...can you say d.e.n.i.a.l?

Lake Oconee Fun

We enjoyed a great weekend at Lake Oconee with friends. Our last hooray before school starts!Tubing. Dinner at Gabby's. Golf. Lunch at the pool. Waterslides. Boat rides. Jet ski. Grilling out.

Cheer Camp

LG enjoyed another week of FPD Cheerleading Camp this summer!

When I picked her up I asked, "Did you have a snack?"

Her response was, "Of course we did, Mama...would it be camp without a snack? Noooooo, we would STARVE if we didn't have a snack!
