| The night before everything is ready to go. This makes our mornings so much easier. |
 |
| It is amazing how we go from no schedule at all in the summer to a planned routine when school starts. I think we all like a little bit of structure! |
 |
| While waiting for the bus Ansley was teaching Mia to tie her shoe. She almost has it! |
 |
| Pajama Day today! This is always a fun day! |
 |
| Who knows what Mimi is thinking here, probably mad at me for taking another picture! |
 |
| This has become a favorite activity, the girls love to sprinkle corn and then watch them come eat it! |
 |
| I love this picture... Girls cheering and S. observing from the back! It was a fun Saturday Night in the Sharpless House! |
 |
| Mia telling one of her stories.....those facial expressions speak volumes! |
 |
| Alissa, Maddox, Mia, Ansley and Molly heading out to ski |
 |
| Ansley up for the first time on water skis! |
 |
| Mia's turn |
 |
| Molly is a pro |
 |
| Maddox has it down too! |
 |
| Grace, Julia, Davis and Ansley working hard on their sand castle |
 |
| Sweet friends. Ans and Mol are 5 days apart in age and immediately became best buddies. Everywhere they walked together they held hands! |
 |
| Matching PJ's |
 |
| These two also became fast friends! |
 |
| The kids table.....so lucky their view is the lake |
 |
| A great weekend with amazing friends! |
 |
| Mol and Ans saying good-bye....sniff |
 |
| This one might end up in their wedding video......2 peas in a pod! We are so blessed to have such great friends. Matt and Nina have shared every part of our lives with us. Initially we were together in Atlanta, and then through distance when we moved to NWA. Never have we disconnected through our life changes and growing families. It was so good to catch up and spend time with them at their lake place this weekend. Just a short 3 hour drive for us......I see many memories being made here! We love you guys! |
 |
| Mia has wanted to ride the bus ever since she could talk. Friday she got her chance! What a big girl! |
 |
| One last Cubs hug before going to school |
 |
| And they're off!!!! |
 |
| Every morning and evening we have deer and wild turkeys that live in the woods around our house. We love that they have made their homes near us so we can be entertained. I'm not so sure how this will work out if we plant a garden next year, but for now we'll enjoy it! |
 |
| About a week ago, we were getting ready to go to bed and a storm blew in. It was heavy rain, lightning, and straight line winds. Our play set blew over and all of our outdoor furniture blew off the back porch into the empty lot next door. I thought we had bad weather in NWA......maybe not so much! |
 |
| Mimi was so excited for her first day of school. She was trying to wake up and said, "Mama my eyes won't open." Bless her heart! I am so thankful God gave us this little girl! I am so excited for all that awaits for her in Kindergarten! Look out Mrs. Williams, there will never be another Mimi that touches your teaching career like this one! |
