Beach Weekend

We left for the beach Friday after we picked up Meyers from school. My dad had a convention in Wrightsville Beach and we met my parents there. It was a quick weekend trip, but so much fun! So much fun that I hardly took any pictures;) The girls spent the night in my parents' room Saturday so John and I got a date night. We stopped in Wilmington on the way out Sunday and ate breakfast at the Dixie Grill. We waited over 30 minutes for a table but it was so worth it. 

First Day of School 2016

I can't believe we have been in North Carolina for almost two years to start our 3rd school year now. Their preschool was on a traditional school year (and we moved right when it started), but Meyers's school (and Emery's now, too) is on a year round schedule. They started on Monday (July 18th). Emery staggered in so she went Monday and then back today (Wednesday) like normal. Meyers loves school so she was happy to be back and Emery thinks she is such a big girl going to Meyers's school and "wearing  her pre kindergarten clothes".

July 4th Week

Geez Louise! I can't believe it's been a full year since I've blogged! Maybe one of these days I can catch up. That's what overwhelms me, but Jessica encouraged me to just start again so here we are with the week of July 4th. 

We went to Memphis for the week. It was a full week of family and friends and all of our favorite Memphis food - Huey's, Memphis Pizza Cafe, Las Delicias, Newk's (we didn't realize how much we loved Newk's until we moved!) and bbq!

I think we had Newk's three times while we were home!

On the 4th, we all went swimming at the McGill's and then went to watch the fireworks. 

I squeezed in a girls' night with Brooke, Jamie and Lauren. 

The girls were able to see the Rains' girls and play for a while one day. 

We were so excited to be in town when my nephew, Brayden, got baptized. We grabbed lunch at Newk's one more time with the family before getting on the road to head home. 

John headed down to Mississippi and Louisiana to work for the week. And my mom made the drive home with me and the girls.
