Back to School

My babies started a new year of school and here are their pictures from the first day. Harrison is in kindergarten at Pelican Marsh Elementary and so far we are loving it there. It is a whole new world from the sheltered life of preschool to the big ocean of public school kindergarten (there are 8 kindergarten classes at his school!) but Harrison has made the adjustment quite well. We had a few weeks of working on behavior in class but lately he has really been doing well. Of course, we are only 2 months into the school year so I'm sure I will see my share of teacher visits to discuss conduct but so far I think we are on the right track.


Brooks is going to a preschool right next to Harrison's school called Our Savior Lutheran and she loves it. So far I have only had one write up for her behavior...she is the honey badger so what can I say. I am so happy that they both love school and enjoy their friends and most of the time, their teachers. They are staying involved in karate, tee ball, sports club, and ballet so I can't say they are lazy and we are making sure to spend quality time on Harrison's sight words and reading. It exhausts me to think of everything that these kiddos need to do in a day but if they sit still for too long, I'm in trouble!

A Visit From Hoyt, Holly, and BeBe

We had a great visit from Hoyt, Holly and BeBe back in August. We took full advantage of their stay at the Ritz one afternoon by the pool and had a great time visiting over dinners at our house. We hope they are able to visit us again soon as a family of 4!

Vanderbilt Beach with Leah & Owen

We spent a fun hour at the beach with some our favorite people. It was Leah's birthday so we celebrated beach style. Harrison, Owen, Brooks and Leah all had a great time going back and forth from ocean to sand castles while be forced to pose for pictures in between.

Noah's Visit

Harrison's best buddy, Noah, came to visit us last week and spent 3 nights with us. Harrison was in heaven! These two have been buddies since they were 1 and even though we have not lived in the same place since Harrison was 3 and a half, they have remained best friends. It's a bond that I love to watch because they absolutely love being with each other. Harrison was very sad on the day we took Noah back to Tampa to meet his mom. I, of course, got to enjoy seeing my friend, Darla on the pick up and drop off but it definitely wasn't enough time...And Harrison is already up to planning his next adventure with Noah. I'm sure it won't be long!






Back in the day...
