Boy are we enjoying this warm weather! We love having the windows open at night to cool breezes and the warmth during the day in the 80's. But, sadly, it looks like a cool down will start this week. Oh well. Fun while it lasted.
Mom's out east this week and so we all had dinner at her house on Sunday night w/dad. I love that time when we all go out on the porch and act like hill billies or porch monkies, however you want to look at it. My girls and nephew are growing fast. It's nice to see them playing together.
Lindsey is loving 1st grade and doing well. She really enjoys school. Alyssa is also doing well. She just competed in the spelling bee held at the fair grounds. I think that first time jitters got to her because a word we had practiced that morning had her falling.
We are having a party this Saturday for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. To be married that many years is a miracle in itself.
Take care all!

Wow, I cannot believe that the summer is now winding down. The girls started school this past Tuesday and I am happy to report that they love it! Lindsey is now 1st grade and goes all day! What a relief that is to me, not to have to worry where she will go the two/three days a week that she was not in kindergarten.
Alyssa is now in 5th grade, her final year in elementary! She likes her new teacher and it makes me feel really old because of her teacher's youth. I remember her as a little girl.
Alyssa turns 11 today, along with her cousin Lacy, who is turning 10 today as well. I cannot believe that these two beautiful girls, who are exactly one year apart and get along famously (even though one is in Texas and we're from the snowy north). Ahhh, my babies are growing up too fast! Alyssa's cousin Connor (and Aunt Staci) called this morning, and even though he is 18 mo. old, wished her a "happy birthday, Lyssa". Too cute!
Lindsey told her sister this morning that she would play anything with her today that her sister wanted her to, because it was her birthday! What sisterly love!
Take care all!
