School Days

Lauren started school at the beginning of September and she was so excited. She is going to the same school as last year so she was very comfortable starting things up again. This year she will be in a class with 4 other little girls which is a change from the all boy class she was in last year. She was excited to see the boys from last year and especially happy to see that Hunter was still in her class. They have a lot of fun activities planned this year and I know she loves her time there. I guess this means that Summer is coming to an end. It is going to be a busy fall but we are looking forward to it.



Jillian 10 months- crawling all over the place and pulling up on everything. She is our little cutie pie. I have started calling her "stinker" or stink or stinky because she is getting in to everything. Love her so much!

Summer 2010

We didn't get to take a family vacation this summer but we were blessed to get to take several mini trips to visit family. Lots of family time and lots of great memories.

We had a mini-family reunion at Mimi and Papa's house in July. Lauren was smiling from ear to ear all weekend because she got to combine two of her favorite things: swimming and playing with Will. Lauren took swim lessons before the trip and she enjoyed showing everyone what she learned. Mimi and Papa had a new boat and it was amazing. Scott and I even got a chance to jet ski together and I think I scared him a little. It was Jillian and Blake's first time at the lake and all things considered they both did great. It was nice to relax and have fun with family.

We were in Midland this year on Mer-Mer's birthday and it was so fun for us to get to celebrate as a big family. We made the trip for Scott's high school reunion which oddly was 12 year instead of 10. It had been over a year since our last visit to Midland because of me being of bed rest during my pregnancy with Jill and having a new born, so we made up for it with two trips back to back. Whew! Lots of time on the road but a blessing to see our family so much.

We went to Midland to celebrate Grammie's graduation from college. We were all really proud of her and excited to celebrate her big accomplishment. To our surprise, it was super cold and the graduation was outside. It was weird to see people wrapped up in big blankets and jackets at the end of May in Midland, and it definitely added to the memories for all of us. Of course it is always a treat when all of the "little" Reed girls get to be together. As an added bonus Lauren caught her first fish while fishing out of the pond at Grammie and Granddaddy's. Her first attempt was unsuccessful, but day 2 brought a fish and a hook in the knee that Daddy had to pull out. So much fun and great memories.
