Welcome Home!!

My partner in crime and Loghy are finally home after a two week stint in the big apple!! Loghan was doing her modeling thing and was very busy (look for her on the cover of the Talbot's christmas catelogue!!!). We are all thrilled to have them back-especially Erin. She's really been missing her BFF Loghalina! Shane still has a couple more weeks of camp and then he'll be home and then Christopher will be leaving shortly after that for two weeks for his camp.



Thank you Kristie and Loghy for erin's adorable dress from Chinatown!!!

Happy Late Birthday to husband number two!!!!


We grownups had a great time at Busch Gardens last night celebrating!! It was a perfect night. Actually it was a perfect day. Kristie and i slept in til noon. then we all went to the pool (kids too)and got some great sun and good swimming in. then we went to Busch and hit all the great rides and then had dinner in Italy with a Big Band performance to entertain chris. Then we wrapped up our perfect night with a stop for ice cream at Brewsters.
AAAAAnd...the best part of the whole day was when I paid $5 to have the guy at Busch Gardens guess my (hell no, not weight!!!) age and he said I was twenty sixxxxx!!!

And the summer fun has begun...

Here are Christopher and Erin. Christopher has completed a week of tennis camp and is fresh out of a week of William & Mary baseball camp in this picture. Erin was in school a week later, so in this picture she is fresh out of a week at "camp Meema's" and starts tennis camp today. Not sure what christopher is starting this week. I'll get back with you on that one.

Look what daddy bought while out shopping with Erin...

Just what she needed-more scrunchies!!!



And if you've got em...might as well use em righttt...






















*Major Scrunchie Alert!!!!

Meet Tanner Olivia!!!

Isn't she beautiful!!! And good size too!!!

In case you're wondering why Campbell isn't in the family photo it's because she did not want to partake. Here she is though in her big sister shirt!

Erin and her newly acquired scrunchie...

Some of you may not be familiar with this version of the scrunchie. It's made by tying many pieces of cut ribbon around a rubberband. Quite simple actually if any of you dare to try.

I must say though, she looks adorable. And it was a very sweet gift from her buddy Reilly, who she spent the day with.

*scrunchie alert!!

She's here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
