Homecoming

This year Homecoming came a little early, but still brought all the fun festivities that once again proves Buford to be a small Southern town with beautiful traditions.  A pep rally, half day of school, the annual parade and the football game was enjoyed by all.

Nerd Alert

Nobody rocks Nerd day like these two.  I'm so proud of them for being brave enough to not care what everyone else thinks and have fun!

Life Changer

Having a grown man child in the house is strange enough, but when he can drive…it's kind of like an out of body experience.  Ever since he has had his permit, we have let him drive everywhere.  As difficult as that was at first, we are reaping the rewards now.  Jackson is very capable and eager to run to the store, take kids to school, and chauffeur himself to lacrosse practice.  But every time he pulls out of the driveway I pause for just a bit and think, "is this really happening?" 

That said, I'm also secretly loving it! I can see how moms get used to this.  It is amazing how having just one extra driver during the day reduces my daily travel time.  I'm convinced this a life changing event…for the better.

No Labor on Labor Day

Hot tubing, swimming, tube rides and lots of playing-but definitely no labor for us when most of the Voorhees family came to visit this holiday weekend. We made lots of memories and had tons of laughs over these all-play-and-no-work few days. We were so excited to share our Georgia home with all of them and are so thankful they were willing to make the long trip. Here is a glimpse of just some of the fun we had:

Uncle Jay and Uncle Joe ran the chains at Joshua's game.  What a treat for Josh to have his uncles on the sidelines!

We celebrated Jay's birthday with a red velvet cake and a few candles.
