Emma - First day of 1st Grade!


Emma started first grade last week.  She was so excited to return to school so she could see her friends.  Emma's teacher is Mrs. Makley.  Emma catches the bus at 8:45am and returns home around 4pm.  
 Kate and Sage love walking to the bus stop to watch Emma get on the bus.
 Emma eats lunch at school now - so far, bagel sandwiches and peanut butter crackers are a hit! 
We are very proud of you Emma!  Have a great year!

"Hair You Go" by Sage

Sage is one cool dude and he has great hair, check it out blowing in the wind while cruisin' with Papa.
Here is Sage's hair as a moawk at the completion of our haircuts tonight. I think the ladies will like both styles! Ha!

End of Summer Fun


Wow!  Where did Summer 2014 go!  It was a fun-filled-jam-packed month of exciting events!
Grandma Crider turns 90 on September 2nd.  We celebrated her birthday with family and friends in Bowling Green on July 27th.  She is a remarkable woman!
Rachel, Maggie and Libby, our sweet neighbors, planned a backyard camp-out for the girls.  Honestly, I didn't think they would make it all night, but they did!  They made lanterns, had s'mores and of course, only in 2014, they used an extension cord to watch a DVD in the tent!

Grandma and Grandpa Weatherwax hosted an overnight for the girls, cousin Hailey and their friends Bella and Emma Bowman.  They made pizzas, played putt-putt and games.  
Aunt Trudy and Caroline visited from New Orleans.  We spent time with  Grandma Weatherwax, enjoyed an outdoor concert and went to the mall.  The girls requested a trip to "Sweet and Sassy" for a makeover!


We headed to Cincinnati for our last weekend before school started.  My dad and I took James and Emma to the Bengals preseason game against the Jets.  We were also able to head to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's parish festival.  
Sage was excited to go cruisin' in the Mustang with Papa.
We headed to Kings Island for one last hurrah of the summer. It was a fun and nostalgic day for me as well.  
 Hanging out on the swings!
Emma and Hailey rode the Racer for the first time! It was so cute to hear them scream and laugh!
