From Abby's Teacher
Delighted to find this e-mail from Abby's Kindergarten teacher in my inbox today...
Hello, just wanted to let you know Abby is doing great, works diligently, and tries to do her best in whatever she does...
So far, Abby just loves school. Even week two, she still says that "every part" is her favorite part of the school day. She's making friends with all the other girls in her class (I think it's 4 girls to 7 boys or something like that), and she loves learning, doing her homework, and, of course, recess.
On that note, I should go pick her up!

Country Boys and City Slickers
This past weekend, Carson and I made the trip up to my Mom & Dad's so I could go to a seminar on building a profitable business with PPA on Saturday and Sunday. It was a great seminar that really helped me understand the numbers behind running your own business as well as how to market, sell, and all that fun stuff. While I was off learning, Carson stayed with Mattie and Grandaddy (or "Grandad" as Carson refers to him nowdays). He had a great time (of course). Grandad bought him a little set of golf clubs so they could play golf when he visits, and there were tractor rides and all sorts of fun stuff.
One day when they were driving around in Grandad's truck, Carson said, "Why are there not any other cars around here?" to which Dad explained that they were out in the country where there weren't as many people. Later on Carson proudly declared that he and Grandad were "country boys"... "And what do you call the boys in the cities?" Carson asked. To which my dad naturally replied, "city slickers." So now Carson calls everyone city slickers around here. It made me laugh.

Goodbye
I knew five years ago that this day would come, but it always seemed so far away. Tonight, however, we had to hug some of our very best friends goodbye. Bryan and Terra are leaving in the morning and moving to North Dakota.
Goodbye is never easy, and words seem to fall short when someone has been such a huge part of your life for so long, and rather than getting ushy-gushy, let me just share some of MY favorite memories...
1. How when Abby was a baby she ALWAYS threw up on Auntie Terra.
2. A bird pooping on Collin's head when we went to the zoo.
3. Stuffing ourselves silly with ice cream (or anything else), which we happened to do tonight as well.
4. Laughing.
5. Long talks.
6. Loading up all our kiddos in the mini van and going places -- and talking through insane tantrums, screaming fits, and who knows what else.
7. Friends who were always willing to help out.
8. Playing Mario with Parker.
9. Collin being born.
10. Lots of family dinners, game nights, etc.
11. Getting my belly button pierced.
12. Going swimming.
13. Lilah's crazy pigtails (I need to find that one picture... I'll post it later.)
14. The adventures of "Bobby" and "Lala"
15. Calling poison control when Abby and Collin decided it'd be fun to play with pesticides.
We've had lots of good times and I could keep going...
Thank you, friends, for touching each of our lives in a special way. I know we'll be friends for life. We love you!
At our girls' night, Terra came up with special names for each of us. I thought that was fun and especially sweet. It definitely got the waterworks going! :)

Beach Day
Today my HS girls small group (along with Carson) headed out to the beach for a day of sun and relaxation and it was a blast! I couldn't love a group of girls more. They are awesome in so many ways. It was a great day from the road trip itself, to the laughter and conversation, and (of course) the ocean and the sand.
I hadn't been to the coast in at least five years and Carson had never ever been and I loved it! I don't know why we don't go more. It's just over two hours to Corpus Christi and the beach was free and uncrowded. Great day!
