Both girls are doing well in school, though Rebecca is finding 4th grade on the challenging side. Luckily, she's got a great teacher, who's very communicative with me, so I can stay on top of how she's doing. I'm hoping that after she adjusts, she'll get back in the swing of it all.

Hannah is really enjoying Middle School. She's made lots of new friends, and likes her teachers. So far, she hasn't had tons of homework, like she thought she'd have, and to be honest, I am quite surprised myself! Let's just hope it continues this way, though I won't hold my breath!

Field Hockey continues to go well for both of them. Both their teams are undefeated!! Rebecca's team has only had one goal scored on them this season, and Hannah's team remains unscored upon! They just had a game last night, and I have to say, it was the most challenging yet. Tomorrow, they play their rival team... Hannah has two friends on that team! Should be interesting!! I hope Hannah's up for playing.. she came home from school early today.. sick. I'm taking her to the doctor this afternoon.

Amanda Joy is now 8 months old!! Little bean is becoming more mobile by the day. She's not crawling yet, and let me tell you, I'm in no hurry for that! I'm enjoying every single day of her. Can she stay this age forever? She scoots herself around, and pushes herself backwards. She gets up on her hands and knees, so I know it's only a matter of time before our world changes again! lol But until that happens, we'll just enjoy watching her try. She waves hi, claps, and sings.. her singing is so cute!! She even pulled herself up in the crib yesterday! Oh boy!

Back in FULL Swing!

We are now in the full swing of the school year, as well as the Field Hockey season. Rebecca had her first game of the season, this past Sunday, and her team did really well. They won their game, 8-0! Way to go Rebecca! If this game was any indication of how their season is going to go, it ought to be a good one! Hannah's got her first game tomorrow night. Here's a picture from Rebecca's game. She's on the right; she's got the ball.

Last night, Rebecca's team had their team and individual photos. Here's one I took..

And here is one with her goofy friends...

Hannah's team had their first game of the season last night. They played really well, and ended up dominating the field, and the game. They won their season opener, 4-0! Hannah scored TWO of those goals! Way to go Hannah!

And of course, I couldn't compose a blog post w/out some pics of Amanda. She never fails to please me with that darling smile.. she's such a ham!

She reminded me of a little Cupie doll...
Don't you just want to scoop her up!!!???

September is here!

Wow. Where did August go? Seems as though this past summer flew by; especially August.
I celebrated my *gulp* 39th birthday this past Sunday. It was odd to have my birthday fall over Labor Day Weekend. I'm sure it's done so before, but I just don't remember it. We spent the weekend hanging out with friends. We were supposed to go to a party at our pool on Friday night, but it was cancelled due to rain. So, we ended up at Fuddruckers! Tammy made an awesome Khalua cake for Heidi and I (Heidi's birthday was last week). It was delicious! Saturday night, we tried the pool party again.. we'd heard that it had been rescheduled. But when we got there, they had again moved it to another night.. Sunday. So we all went over to Donna's, with our beer and snacks in tow. Another good time was had! Sunday evening, we went over to Steve's Father's house for dinner and birthday cake. After that, we finally made it to the pool for the party!! Rebecca missed it, for she was at Jennas.. but swimming, nevertheless!
Yesterday, we had no big plans. Rick and Heidi had invited us to go out on the boat with them, but Steve didn't want to be in the sun all day, after working on the facia board on Saturday. He didn't feel so great most of Sunday. Instead, we headed over to Hooters for lunch. Love their wings! After lunch, Steve went shopping w/Rick (computer stuff), and I took the girls to the pool, for their final swim of the season. So sad to see the pool closing.. especially since the weather is still pretty warm!!

Look at those blue eyes!

Ahhh.. Scary Angle!
