| Sweet Mia LOVES her daddy! |
 |
| So thankful for this amazing man that our girls get to share this life with! Happy Father's Day to one of the BEST!!!! |
 |
| The JOY of giving! The girls made books for their daddy about the favorite things he does with them. They were so excited to give them to him! A very proud moment…it is all over their sweet faces! |
 |
| Relaxing on this wonderful Father's Day! |
 |
| My favorite author, Dorothea Benton Frank, was in Aiken for a talk and books signing. I was so excited to get a chance to meet her. She writes about Sullivan's Island and Coastal Carolina, with such Southern Flare. It was fun meeting her however, she is way more New Jersey then South Carolinian. Still a great author with a great sense of humor. I was a little disappointed that she wasn't Sweet Tea "sweet". A great memory made none the less! |
 |
| We had fun at Ms. Debbie's pool on Friday! It was great to get back to Aiken, even for just a few days! Thanks mama for a great couple of days! We love you!!!! |
 |
| Mia…..no words necessary! |
 |
| These girls aren't tired of the pool yet. They have morning and evening practices and want to stay and play afar their group swims! |
 |
| The Sharpless's first swim meet! We had a great day! The meet was called because of weather, but I can't wait to see official times! |
 |
| Mia, Ansley and Riley |
 |
| This year there are about 100 swimmers! So glad to be part of it! |
 |
| Ansley trying to figure it out! |
 |
| Warmed up and ready! |
 |
| Practice dive for the relay |
 |
| Mia getting her backstroke on! |
 |
| So proud of Ansley's first ever meet. She swam the 25m freestyle and backstroke. She got second in her heat for free and 1st in back, but turned at the end to touch, so I think maybe she was disqualified. She also nailed the 25m free relay and was chosen for the medley, but didn't race b/c of the weather! Excited for next week at home! |
 |
| Mia did a great job too! She swam the 25 m freestyle and backstroke. She was 1st in her heat for freestyle and won the backstroke but turned at the end to touch the wall. She also did a great job on her leg of the relay! I think we have little competitors! |
 |
| Homemade avocado, oatmeal and honey mask! |
 |
| These girls created a home spa complete with facials and manicures. What a fun afternoon! |
 |
| Our creative kiddos came up with a theme for bed last night! They always have so much fun with even the everyday stuff! Love our time together without rushing around! Our summer schedule is in full swing. However, we haven't slept in yet!!! Lots of fun to pack in. |
 |
| My group of 4th graders! What a blessing it was to teach these kids about God! |
 |
| Day 1: Ready to Discover the truth about Jesus! |
 |
| Mia and her sweet friend Adam! I love that these two have shared kindergarten, 1st grade and 2 Bible School classes together! Notice Mia's orange mustache……y'all remember the orange Kool-Aid at VBS right? |
 |
| DEA: Drug Enforcement Agent landing in the church parking lot! |
 |
| Our detectives ready to learn more about God's word! |
 |
| Mr. Mark leading rally time! |
 |
| What a great week of worship and fun! |
 |
| These two are on the case! Discover, Decide, and Defend! What an amazing week we have had at VBS. 2000 kids attend our church bible school. It is so overwhelming to witness children making decisions to let Jesus live in their hearts. We had a week that will forever be in our memory banks! |
 |
| We have spent many hours at the pool! The girls love playing with their friends, I'm enjoying visiting with my friends, relaxing and reading! Rain or shine the Sharpless girls love the pool! |
 |
| I'm not sure who is happier…..Mia or Cubby! They LOVE spending time together. We are thankful for summer. |
