Fall Soccer 2014

Margaret played soccer this Fall on a church league team with some of her friends.  Their team name was the Pink Cheetahs.  She loved it!






Griffin also took some soccer lessons this fall.  He really enjoyed it too. (This is the only photo I have!)

Back to School 2014

Griffin and Margaret started school today! Margaret started 2nd grade, and Griffin started 4th grade. They are both in the same classes with the same teachers as they had last year, so it made for a very easy transition! They were so excited to see all of their friends this morning. I still can't believe that summer is over!

Life lately...

Here are some random things that have been happening lately...

Richie spoke at RUF Summer Conference in Panama City Beach, FL, and I was able to tag-along.

Margaret's Ballet Recital 2014

Margaret had her Spring ballet recital over the weekend. It is always so much fun to watch Margaret and so many of her friends dance. We look forward to it every year. Here are some pictures and a video from the day!

Margaret's 7th Birthday Party

We celebrated Margaret's birthday all weekend long.  She requested hamburgers and cookie cake for her family birthday dinner.  We had her birthday party at the skating rink with a few of her friends from church and school.  She had a great birthday weekend!

Happy 7th Birthday, Margaret!

Today is Margaret's 7th birthday!  That sure is hard to believe.  That means that we are about to celebrate our 7th anniversary of living in Memphis, because when we moved here she was just 6 weeks old.  Now she is a big first grader!  She loves gymnastics, ballet, art and singing, and she loves spending time with her friends and family.  Happy Birthday, Margaret!  We love you so much!  I did another birthday interview with her today...
