Football Time in Middle Tennessee

We took the kids to their first football game at MTSU. They had a blast cheering for the Blue Raiders. Maggie said she should be allowed on the field since she was a cheerleader! We got to visit with Uncle Scott at halftime, which the kids loved.

Maggie started dance classes at Barfield School of Dance this week. The class is a combination of ballet, tap and jazz. I have no idea what they did in class because they don't allow parents in the studio. So all I have are these adorable pictures of her outside after class.

Back to School - Part 2

Ty started a new school today - Montessori Weaver School. Even though we loved St. Mark's Preschool, we believe MWS is a great opportunity for Ty that could not be passed up. When Maggie and I arrived to pick him up at 12:45, they were still eating lunch. They were sitting at tables with real tablecloths, eating with forks and spoons off of real plates and drinking from real glasses. It wasn't chaotic, just the opposite. Children were enjoying quiet conversation amongst themselves. It was quite impressive. Ty enjoyed doing the Montessori work, but he also had fun composting and cutting flowers from the garden for the classroom.

The Flash

Ty's first soccer game with The Flash was on Saturday, and it was so much fun to watch! They are playing with seven on the team - three on defense, three on offense and a goalie. Ty was on defense for the two quarters of the game that he played.

Here he is waiting for some action to make
its way to his end of the field.

Anyone????

Finally!

Ty didn't quite grasp the concept of defense. There's a lot of waiting around. Naturally, he grew tired of this. The next time the ball came his way, he ended up going the entire length of the field with the ball and scored the first goal!

SCORE!

I love seeing him so happy!

 Here's Coach Meg reminding him that he is
playing defense and to get back to his spot!

Back to Soccer

Ty's so excited that it's finally soccer season. His team is called the Flash. Here is a glimpse at their first practice. I must say, they look a lot more promising than the Panthers in Augusta last spring. I guess we will see if that holds true at their first game on Saturday. Stay tuned...

  

Back to School

It's that time of year again. The hottest month of the year is also the month we send our darling children back to school...Go figure! Maggie and Ty were very excited for their first day at St. Mark's.

Summer Fun

So it's been a while since I've update the blog...6 months to be exact. I'm not sure why I have neglected to do any posts, but I am going to try and do better.

We spent a week in Orlando at the end of May. The kids absolutely loved Walt Disney World and Seaworld. The very next week we moved from Augusta back to Murfreesboro.

Ty and Maggie went to Mr. Gareth again for swim lessons in June.

We celebrated Maggie's birthday with a Tinkerbell party in July.

I can't believe the kids go back to school on Monday. They are going to St. Mark's Preschool three mornings a week. They are really excited about going, but I am feeling a little sad about it. This summer has been so fun! The kids have loved seeing their friends again, going to the movies, swimming and playing at the Discovery Center.
