Could it be possible??

 Today was a huge day! We went shopping for our very first uniform! I was a bit in shock that this time had come however someone else was ECSTATIC (as she informed me Fancy Nancy would say)!

Christ our King 5K here we come!!

Endless Summer Daze...

That is what this summer feels like! It has been SO much fun and we have made the most of each day and weekend! I am SOAKING it all up!

We met our friends Andralee, Angus and Audrey out at Sullivan's Island today. It was a perfect summer filled day! Juliette and her Daddy even got some fishing in with Mariela and Ms. Susan! What a great weekend!


Just doing a little reelin'...


...I'll be back to check on the rod!

Fishin' FUN!

True Friendships


Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test-
Time and change-are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray;
Friendship never knows decay.
For 'mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die;
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast-
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.


Love this! Today we celebrated a very special birthday in Manning, SC for our dear friend Ellison Ann! Her Mama is one of my oldest and dearest friends. And her Mama is one of my Mama's oldest and dearest friends! The poem above sums up the day perfectly!

Happy birthday sweet Ellison Ann! Juliette still plans to marry Thomas so we all could yet be family!


Juliette, Ellison Ann, and Thomas


Juliette and Tessa


Who's the party pooper??


Could they be any more precious??


One VERY busy boy!


If I can't find Thomas' room, Ellison's room will just have to do!






The mamas of the mamas, the mamas and the best little friends!

The final day of horse camp...

This little girl could not have had more fun!



Juliette got to paint "Squishy" and then give him a bath



Juliette saying goodbye to "Squishy"




"Mommy my binoculars are not just for birds... they help me see if I can find my new horse hiding in the backyard"... this girl has some high hopes and aspirations!

Packing for a party

Ask Juliette and nothing is more fun than a "sleep party" down the street at Tessa and Doh's house. That is just what we did today - packed for a party!



Off they go! Two peas in a pod!


And yes Tripp ladies only + Doh tonight for the party! Can't help but smile when this is the view from the rear view mirror.

Catch me if you CAN!
