North Carolina ~ Summer 2008

I'm trying to backtrack with some of the events we've had within the last several months:)

Thankfully, our move gave us the extra benefit of spending more time with our NC family. Usually we get to see them once or twice a year, but not in 2008! These are pictures of this summer there. Meg and Michael rode Umpa's riding lawnmower all over the yard, Nora and Emma made cupcakes with Aunt Mindy, Michael and Nora went swimming at Emma's babysitter, Ms. Rhonda's house, and Meg was cousin Heather's Maid of Honor in her wedding to Tom. We took the children out to Bill and Sharon's house on the resavour to swim, ride jet skis and cookout. We don't get to see The Stephens' every time we're in NC, so it was a big plus for us to spend time with them. I could go on and on about everything we did while staying with The Matthews Clan. Luckily, we live closer to them now (7 hours!), but it's much better than 16...which is how far we are from The Kraus Clan:( Oh well...

Jamie leaves today for Hilton Head with some of his UNC boys. I suppose that I'll be on this blog to kill time at night. I'll post more photos from NC and of our 2008 adventures this weekend. Toodles...
