A Little Bit of Life Lately

This marked our third year of homeschooling and I think our best yet.  Lucy Mills and McClain love to learn and I am enjoying the journey right alongside them. 

On Fridays we shuffle piano lessons and getting our school work done in the morning.  



Time at the library getting books of interest, books that correspond to what we are learning, and audiobooks to listen to in the car. 


Our afternoons are spent with friends and the neighborhood kids.  Oh the memories our two are making on our cul-de-sac are priceless. 


They are outside all afternoon long. 




For my 36th birthday we enjoyed a fun date night out with some of the sweetest friends.  


Very thankful to be doing life alongside these great couples. 


Another library trip to captivate our minds. 


McClain is in his 3rd baseball season (first spring season).  




While brother is at the ball field, Lucy Mills has been enjoying ballet classes. 



Spring breakin' it at the beach! 




So glad I caught this sunrise moment of Travis with Lucy Mills.  She has started asking him to go for early morning walks - just the two of them.  I love seeing their sweet father/daughter time. She has the best daddy around. 


Easter Sunday smiles. 


The neighborhood gang profiting from their lemonade stand. 


In April we celebrated Travis' and Grandaddy's birthdays in Durham.  


McClain had a great first year in karate.  He is an excellent karate kid and received 2 medals and 2 belts this year. 


That's a taste of life lately!

Labor Day Weekend and McClain Plays T-ball

For Labor Day weekend (and football season kickoff!) we packed up and headed to the beach.  Gang's all here. 


This second year into homeschooling I orchestrated our school calendar so that we basically school year round.  We started in July because it's so darn hot to do anything and we enjoy some long weekends throughout the year, a month long break in December, a few weeks off here and there, and we finish up typically the last week of April.  We do love our beach getaways.  These babies were ready to cheer on the Gamecocks for the Thursday night season opener!




 All three of my beach babies.


Ready to hang ten.


Very thankful for this crew of mine.



This fall was McClain's first season playing t-ball.  Several of his buddies were playing on the team and he decided we was ready to give it a try.  Melt my heart you cutie pie!


First day of practice he woke up early to try out his new gear.  Too bad he had to wait a good 12 hours until practice time.  


How I found him sleeping the night before.  Just a little excited I think.


Love our l'il slugger.





Th snacks and Gatorade after the games might have been McClain's favorite part.  #truth


McClain and Bryce - buddies since two year old preschool.  Bryce's dad Coach Trey did an awesome job leading the Dashers - these boy's first t-ball team.


I'd be remissed if I left out the t-ball sisters.  Lucy Mills had a ball cheering on the boys and playing with the ball field friends.




Lucy Mills, Mary Wallace, Callie, Sarah Loiuse.


 Can't wait until next season!
