meeting baby oliver

I just love seeing new babies. Especially those of such dear friends! Baby Oliver was born on august 17 and is just the sweetest little thing. Jaime is such a good mama!

Nan and I were able to see jaime and oliver in augusta.
Nan is getting back into newborn mode... she's expecting #3 in Nov. She's also a dear friend of mine and an excellent mama!

Lelia got to hold baby oliver, too.

sweet boy!

first day of school!

Logan and Miles started school in September. Miles is in a one year old Mother's Day Out program and Logan is in a three year old preschool. They go two days a week for three hours and they love it (well at least they both do now!) Of course, Logan had no issues at all; she was very excited to start back to school. And, Miles was fine at first until he realized I was leaving him there! He would cry at first, but with the help of his pacifier, he would get over missing me very quickly. His teachers said they were always able to get the pacifier back from him with 20 mins or so. After two weeks, he didn't need his pacifier and he was walking in the room himself! He really loves it!

I really think this may be the only non-professional picture I have of the two of them together smiling!

sad that this picture is a little blurry... she's smiling!

silly boy didn't know that mama was about to leave him! ;)

carrying his bag into class!

usopen

Jordan and I went to the usopen this year! We left on a fri and came back on mon. I think we walked the entire island of Manhattan in 2 days! We saw tennis fri afternoon and sat and sun nights. We saw a few good matches... I was bummed that we didn't see federer though! I won't bore everyone with our touristy pics... I just posted a few of us (self-portraits) and a couple of the stadiums just for perspective. Arthur Ashe is definitely large!

beach

In mid-august, we went to folly beach. Shopping, fun in the sun and relaxation! Everyone had a blast!

The kids had a blast at the charleston aquarium.
working together to push as many buttons as possible!

Logan thoroughly enjoyed being able to spray her brother at the splash pad.

"Cheeeeeeeeese"
they love to sit together... sometimes!

They discovered Chuck E Cheese this summer. They're pretty much fans.

Miles was very into the barney ride
