US Open

Brian and I were able to go to the US Open this year.  It was something I have always wanted to do and even more so since I've gotten into playing tennis over the last few years.

Brian surprised me for our anniversary back in June with a planned trip to New York including tickets for the Open.  Brian and I both agreed that it was the best sporting event we have ever been to.  It was so much fun and we will definitely be going back again soon.

First Day of School

         

Savannah started her first day of 2nd grade a couple of weeks ago.  I can hardly believe that she can be that old.  She was so excited to start and has been doing great.  She is very grown up and is such a hard little worker in school and everything she does.  I never have to worry about homework being completed or her forgetting anything at home.  She is so responsible for her age, it's a little scary.

Savannah's clothes literally laid out for school.  

It was so cute, I just had to take a picture.

Now, for the flip side of my life - Emerson!  He is so crazy, it's definitely scarier than Savannah being so responsible. Although, on his first day of pre-school, he was the cutest thing you've ever seen. His excitement was contagious and Brian and I were giddy just watching him. His favorite thing about going to pre-school is when he gets to bring his backpack with show and tell inside. He feels so grown up - just like "S-vannah". Unfortunately, I think he might end up being a little bit different student than Savannah but I am hoping he proves me wrong.

Something to Smile About

I'm back.  Okay, I know I've taken a little hiatus from this blogging thing.  Tennessee was not good for blogging (I could never get a connection there on my laptop).  When I got home, I was too overwhelmed to post all the amazing things we did and sort through the over 2,000 pictures taken (no, that is not an exaggeration) to find the right ones for the blog.  I am now trying to start current and maybe I'll be able to go back and post about the beach and all the fun things we did in Tennessee one day. 

I might be the only one smiling.  But, if there is still someone out there reading this totally lame blog, stay tuned because there will soon be some new posts coming.
