TN Valley Fair

Collin had been getting "yellow lights" here and there at school so we used the fair as incentive for him to receive green lights all week. It worked that week. This week, however we forgot to give some sort of incentive. Back to the drawing board I suppose. But here are some pics of "the week of five straight green lights".

Git'n along

The kids were getting along so well last night that Ryan and I were a bit astonished. Ryan actually took pictures. They played just like this, sharing everything from the horsey to bath toys for a couple of hours. It must have been their Anniversary gift to us...

Busy Busy entering Fall!

I know, it has been well over a month so here goes...

1. Collin and Aneliese had their "graduation" ceremony from Mother's Day Out. Aneliese is now in the big kids class.


2.Collin began 1st grade at Mooreland Height Elem a few weeks ago. We are unbelievably pleased with this school and his teacher, Mrs. Sawyer. It really is a fantastic little school.
3. Aneliese is potty trained. This is huge.
4. Collin got his first round of illness in over a year. High fever, nasty rash, and virus but he is a tough cookie and weathered the storm with a smile. (He would not appreciate me posting pics of the rash, however.)
5. Mom and Dad are celebrating 7 wonderful years of blissful marriage on Monday!
6. Collin has a buddy with a real mo-hawk.
7. Mom had a fabulous "Meet the Artists" Gallery opening in Asheville and we got to stay in a hotel and go out to a fabulous dinner with Gigi and Rob.




8. Daddy got a new truck.

9. We are currently cheering on the Vols in the first game of the year! Happy Football season everyone!
