IronKids

My heart is filled with pride for the accomplishment of  our sweet girls.  Hannah was even one of her moods right before  the race started (see photo of her & Ella) but she finished  the race and LOVED it - talking every day this week about when the next one is.  So proud of Lexy and Hannah - they did fantastic - running so fast too at the finish.  I am also so proud of my amazing husband for generating such an interest in so many wonderful kids in our neighborhood - 40 children from The Branches participated in the race - even more trained (but other things permitted them from participating - illness, baptisms, vacations, etc).  Incredible - smiley face.  And we have an AMAZING family who comes out to support us so often - we are so thankful for their love and support - thank you Gma, Nana, Papa, Aunt Meredith, Uncle Tom, Charlie, Julia AND Abby (next year you'll join your big sisters in the race - smiley face) for being wonderful cheerleaders.  What a fun morning - smiley face!!!

Go Gamecocks

South Carolina thankfully won a big game this  weekend against Georgia.....we can start off  SEC football happy - smiley face.  Here are the girls w/ Daddy before a birthday party on Saturday...so sweet - smiley face

Soccer Season

Saturday was the start of soccer season for the girls - we had to divide and conquer b/c Lexy's game was in Peachtree City (they won a FANTASTIC game 6-5 - Lexy scored two goals) and Chris coached Abby's game at DUMC at the same time (they won 12-2 and our little ringer scored FIVE goals).  We were all able to go to Hannah's game - she also scored FIVE goals and they dominated their team - we stopped keeping track after double  digits vs zero - smiley face.  Thanks to Gma and Papa for coming out to support the girls.  I sent them (and Nana, Grandpa & Granny) an email earlier in the week b/c Abby asked if they were going to be there....she wanted her grandparents to come to her game....so sweet!
