6 months flies by....

I can't believe it's been 6 months since I've updated my blog.  Life seems to fly by at a rapid pace and I really want to get better at keeping this going!  Some highlights of the last 6 months!

-Halloween:  Marissa dressed up as a witch and Brody as Spiderman.  Our neighborhood really makes it super festive and the weather was beautiful!

-Thanksgiving:  We had a beautiful family dinner and spent the day doing all of our Christmas shopping online.  We spent time at the beach and just enjoyed being together.

-December is always such a busy month with all the activities surrounding Christmas.  After the holiday, we took a family trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  Besides Marissa and I getting sick, it was a wonderful time to get away and the kids still ask to go back!  The mountains are beautiful and it was fun to explore a new area.

-We have been taking great use of being Disney pass holders.  We love our family weekends at Disney and we are becoming experts on everything Disney.

-The kids joined Ridge Runners, a running club at school and they excelled in their running skills.  Marissa joined drama club and they have been practicing 2 times a week since January.  Her play this year is Beauty & the Beast.  She is one of the narrators.  We are looking forward to her performance in a few weeks.  Awana is almost over for the year and this is Marissa's last year!

-The kids have 23 days left of the school year.  Brody and Marissa have had another successful year.  It's hard to believe that Marissa is heading to middle school in August.

-We have been keeping busy with work and life but we are so thankful for the life we have been blessed with!
