Lazy Days (and other miscellaneous happenings)

I know it has been a while since my last official post. School work is picking up and as a result, my hobby must take a backseat at times. I have been working on a school blog for my students to get the daily agenda of class and post comments or questions. If you would like to see it, go to http://www.colemanushistory.blogspot.com/.

We have spent our last weeks cleaning house and goofing around. As a result, there is no central theme to this post, just lots of cute memories.

This is our next door neighbor Shelley. She is Sarah's first official hero in this world. Shelley began babysitting on occassion last May and since then, I have heard "Guess what, Shelley babysat me" at least three thousand times since then. She is now going to college in Bowling Green, but takes time to visit when she is home. Here are Shelley and Sarah "crafting" at the kitchen table.

Shelley is saying goodbye to Sarah. We love her and the rest of the family so much. We feel blessed to have them as neighbors.
This is the Cardome center in Georgetown. It is a great place to go during festivals, but it is also nice to visit when no one else is around. It is attached to a Japanese style garden. (I will take photos of that on another day). Chris, Sarah, and I went to play frisbee, kickball, and just hang out together as a family.

Sarah showing off her sports moves (she definitely gets this from her father)

Fun in the grass.

We found a great tree to introduce Sarah to tree climbing. She was so excited about the tree, we could barely get her to take a good photo.

This is the money shot!

She is thrilled to be in the trees. Can't you tell?

Chris had to have his turn as well.

Sarah is checking out an old fountain on the grounds.

The Cardome center has a kite festival in this field every spring. I happen to think it is even more beautiful at this time of year. Don't you agree?

This is apparently an old General Store on the grounds of the Cardome center. It is not in use now.
No family outing would be complete without Daddy hoisting Sarah on his shoulders. I wonder how much longer she will be small enough for this.

We also had a chance to visit the grandparents before bedtime. Mamaw is giving Sarah a ride on her feet!

We are glad they now live close enough to visit on a regular basis.


Sarah is living dangerously. She is on a scooter her aunt bought for her. Chris is to worried about her riding it on the sidewalk (since she is still so little). She rides it all around Mamaw and Papaw's house. (She seems quite content with this).

I will leave you with a little serenade from our little girl.

Bye for now.
