Hurricane Earl

We are bracing for a possible hurricane in the next couple of days.  Hopefully it stays off the coast of North Carolina, but we'll be prepared if it decides otherwise.  Earl is proving to be pretty powerful, so say a prayer that he stays offshore!

We are headed to the beach this weekend to celebrate Labor Day with David's parents, and where I'll be running in the Rock n Roll 1/2 marathon relay with my sister in law.  I've been running 3-4 days a week training for this event.  I'm still in the run/walk stage of my training, but I know that I'll get across the finish line! 

August went by so fast!!! I can't believe how quick the summer slipped away. Here are a few pictures of some things we have been up to!









With Love,

Signs of Summer

Whew....it's a hot one here on the east coast (as it is almost everywhere in the great states).  For the next 7 days they are calling for 98 to 101 (without heat index).  This is our hottest and longest summer on record and is proving to be brutal.  But, none the less, we are enjoying summer! Here are some pictures of summer around here.
















Yummy! First time making smores with our 3 year old! He wasn't a big fan of the mess it created.



Bug spray! We bought the new Off that is the smooth and dry.  Like it better then the other regular spray, but doesn't keep those pesky gnats out of your face.



Sundown on the porch and enjoying some tiki time :)



And of course some time in the kiddie pool! I don't know what we will do next summer when he has outgrown this. Our neighboorhood doesn't allow above ground pools, and I don't know about you, but we don't have 25,000 laying around to put in an inground.  Maybe someday (sigh--dream!). 

I've been working hard getting stuff around the house completed...especially the pesky porch that we started back in April.  We are almost finished and will post pictures when we are complete!  I have also enjoyed getting some crafts on my craft list started and completed!  I'm excited to show some of those this coming week :)

Have a great day/week family and friends.
