Princess Camp and Ball...

This year Anna wanted to do the Princess camp again. I had tried to talk her into trying something new, but she just loved this camp! I think that it was just as much fun the 2nd time around, if not more! :) Willis came to the ball since Chad is already working in Chapel Hill. It was so fun watching Anna have such a great time! She was all giggles on stage!





Here comes the prince...Anna and Lilly looked a bit weary...

Going away pool party with Anna's friends and mine!

What a fun little group we have here of girls Anna's age...and a GNO group of mommies! It has been so fun getting to know all of these sweet moms and girls! They will all be missed. They threw a mexican themed pool party that was so much fun! They even made Anna a special shirt with all of their handprints! The girls had a ball, and they especially enjoyed playing with the lifeguard! He was so good with all of them! I will definitely miss all of these sweet friends, and I know that Anna will too!

Last, last day of St. Mark's Day school

Anna did playdays at St. Mark's this summer, and it was SOOO hard to say goodbye to all of the sweet teachers there! I had thought that Henry would be attending school next year there, and so it was never a real "good-bye". This time it was...sniff, sniff...hopefully I can find a place that makes me feel this good in Chapel Hill. I have high hopes that I will! Here are two pics...one when I was trying to get a picture of Anna and Cole (one of her oldest buddies), but he didn't really want his picture taken...too busy playing...I don't blame him! And one of Anna and another one of her oldest and dearest friends, Lilly...

Happy 4th and the Lake!

This year for the 4th Auntie Laura came for the weekend and then everyone came the next week. Laura and Anna really bonded making jewelry and just having fun! We had so much fun at the lakehouse last week with all of my family! It was great having everyone together. I need to get more of the pictures from my dad, but I did get a few.

Cousins...

The Whole Family!

Popsicle Party, Take 2

We were supposed to have our end of school popsicle party a couple of weeks ago, but it was rained out. It all worked out because we rescheduled it today, and it was HOT but not unbearable! The St. Marks kids and moms had so much fun! Thank you to Yaya and Big Daddy for letting us have it at their beautiful house! All of the kids rode Shadow, even Henry! They had a ball! By the way, Henry, my little sweet tooth king, must have had at the very least 10 popsicles...he ran around enough to get rid of the extra energy. :) At least he was hydrating in this heat...

Safety Town!

Last week Anna attended a fabulous Safety Town program for children going into Kinder. It has been going on in LR for many years, and she had a blast! They had a graduation program on Friday that the parents went to watch!

Henry looked like such a big boy sitting on the bleachers! He was very interesting in one of Anna's friends big brothers game on the iphone!

Long time, no blogging...

Things have been crazy here since Memorial Day weekend! Chad has accepted a new job at a company in Chapel Hill, NC, we have had workers in our house on a daily basis, and we put it on the market yesterday! We are excited about our move, especially Chad's awesome opportunity! It will be hard to leave all of the friends we have made here. When Chad and I first started dating, I would come to Little Rock and visit. I was constantly amazed that EVERYWHERE and I mean everywhere we went he saw someone he knew. Now, I see someone I know everywhere...it is so funny because I really used to appreciate the anonymity of a large city. Now I really have felt the benefits of being in a smaller place, and amazingly enough I have grown to love it. It sounds crazy, but I love going into the little stores we enjoy shopping in and they know us. Part of this is living in the South as well, and I am thankful that Chapel Hill will still be the South. However, it is much more transient than Little Rock, and I am thinking that this will work to our advantage! So all in all, this move is bittersweet! :) Little Rock friends, I will miss you all dearly! Please come visit!
