Summer Wrap up

I think I win the award for worst blogger ever. I know I haven't updated since January! Life is busy and the summer was no exception. The kids are back to school in 1 1/2 weeks and
it seems this summer has been one of the fastest we can remember.

It was a wonderful summer full of family time, pool trips and lots of baseball!!

Connor and I (Emily) played in the mornings by ourselves at an empty softball field. Connor's athletic ability continues to amaze me. He is an athlete through and through.

Here are a few pictures I took of him after one of our baseball sessions in 90 degree heat and high humidity.

The kids as always are inventive in the way they entertain themselves.

The 4th of July was great. We had a few parties and events and we continue to feel blessed with the neighbors we live by.

Annabelle and her best friend Easton were able to go to Nickelodeon Live in downtown Charlotte and see : Dora, The Wonder Pets, and others.

I was able to help welcome a new niece into the world with my daughters.

We also welcomed a new nephew, Rowan Arthur McCluckie in England. He was born with major heart problems but continues to fight and amaze doctors with his strength and determination to live.

Sillybandz...need I say more?

It's been fun, stressful and loud and I can't believe that we are almost done with the summer fun. The Fall is going to be a welcome break from this heat but boy oh boy have we had fun as a family.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer vacation too!!
