Family

We drove to Palm Coast to meet family to celebrate my mom's birthday. Our children enjoyed seeing family and most of all they love their Nana!

A night out to the Symphony

Our dinner club enjoyed a night out to see Styx accompanied by the Jacksonville symphony. The Sebastians hosted the evening. We enjoyed a ride in a race car limo and great company. The music was wonderful and the company even better.

THING ONE AND THING TWO-OH THE THINGS THEY CAN DO!

Benjamin and Jeb have a great time together. I could write an entire book about their antics. We have nicknamed them Thing one and Thing two. Bejamin told me he knew why- "it is because we wreck the house" Give them the opportunity and they will.

Here they are dancing and as always having fun!

ELIZABETH RIDES ON TWO WHEELS

Elizabeth was bound and determined to take off her training wheels and ride her bike. This picture is fuzzy but it is the first time she rode on two wheels down the street. She is so proud of herself and we are so proud of her!

Row Row Your Boat

Sandy and Joe Brusca joined John and Robin on a canoe trip down the Santa Fe River. John thought it was the most beautiful place in Florida he had ever been to.

We met up with men digging for artifacts. One man found a Mammoth's tooth, it was huge. John is dying to go back to dig himself.

John and Joe fished a lot. Both men were able to catch one fish. Poor John had to row and fish
because Robin aka Cleopatra enjoyed
lounging more than rowing.

We also took a break to play in the Springs as
well have a picnic lunch.

Great News!

Brooks got his interim progress report today. We are proud to inform everyone that he has 4 A's and 2 B's. He is taking Algebra I for highschool credit already. We are very proud of him. He is just growing up way too fast!

Enjoying the pool on the weekend

Guitar Lessons

Brooks has started his eight grade year. He is in both Jazz Band and Symphonic Band. He also started guitar lessons. He is really enjoying music!

Time for Tea

Nana took Elizabeth out to lunch at The Sister's Tea Room to celebrate the beginning of her kindergarten year. She was such a good girl. She had one of her favorites- potato soup. She ordered a second bowl but could not finish it!

Best Friends Forever!

Benjamin and Jeb, our Godson, on their first day of school. They are so much fun to watch play and grow everyday. We are blessed to live across the street from one another.

Bus Stop

Elizabeth insisted on riding the bus home from school on the very first day! She loved it.

Daddy's Girl!

First Assingment

Elizabeth had to draw a picture of herself as her first assignment. She says she wants to be an art teacher when she grows up so this was right up her alley.

Elizabeth finds her name and her classroom!
