August 10... first day of School 2016

Meet the Teacher

We had school orientation/ meet the teacher on Monday last week. Janey is in Ms. Gal's home room, and switches into Ms. Sykes room midday. MV had Ms. Gal as one of her kindergarten teachers a few years ago. We love Mrs. Gal. 

All smiles with Mrs. Gal

Mrs. Sykes

MV has Mrs. Allard for her home room teacher this year. MV says she is very funny!! She also has Mrs. Branson for Math and Science. 

MV with Mrs. Allard

Mrs. Branson... MV noticed that she is almost as tall as both her teachers. 

Lost teeth

Janey has a super small mouth. A few of her permanent teeth were coming in behind her baby teeth, and a couple of others according to the X-ray had NO space to come in. She ended up having seven teeth pulled. This was her the evening after the pulling happened with her swollen face telling me the tooth fairy should bring her more than $1 per tooth. She did get a little more than that from the fairy that night. 

Gulf Shores

We spent a few nights in Gulf Shores with Papa Doc, KK, and Brad's family the last weekend in July. The waves were great this time for riding the boogie boards. All the girls( and Hayden joined in too), had a blast riding the waves!

We all went to a little seafood restaurant for supper one night. The food was amazing!!

13 years

Jim and I celebrated our 13th wedding on July 19. We had a fun date night out to eat, and a ride in the corvette. 

Time with the Jacksons

Our good friends, Hank and Wanda Jackson  with their boys, Hank and Josh came ito visit family and friends for a few days. We were excited to have them come over for supper one night. We ended our visit with a trip to get frozen yogurt. It is so great to see all the kids pick up right were they left off a couple of years ago when they lived here. 

Fun with the Barnetts

David and Claire came to vacation in Destin for a week. We packed up, and joined them for a night at their condo. The girls had a blast playing with Emily and Katherine. It was so much fun to catch up with such good friends! 

Sweet Friends

Janey and Savannah have been friends since they were in the same three year old preschool class!!
