Kindergarten

Oh happy day, oh happy day!!!  AC1 started Kindergarten today!!!  Austin just told me that was a rhyme.  Just before we went to the bus stop.....(flash back to birth)

and then back to reality...................
 This is a shot of the whole group who rode the bus from our neighborhood to school today.  There were about 20 in all.  Austin did great ... until ... he got to the bus and realized he had not gotten a hug from mom before he walked towards the bus (he did get a hug but was so wrapped up in the awe of the bus he did not even notice the hug).
Fortunately for us, there are several kids from our cul-de-sac on the bus and one of the 4th grade girls took Austin's hand and led him onto the bus...at which point he positioned himself in the back row with her...anyone worried yet???

Oh happy day, AC1 is a Kindergartner :)

Picture Diary

You just cannot get us off this lake :)  We took our neighbors' son with us a few weeks ago; I am just now getting around to finding the camera cord :)

 Austin LOVES this float and another one from Granddad
 Our neighbor Logan went out on it too!!
 Logan and Eric went fishing; but not catching.....
 Then, we got the most interesting gift that I only think could exist in GA; you can get free mulch from tree companies when they have to cut down a tree.  This actually came from our power company; I called them months ago, and they just put your name on a list and when they are in your area and have a load they come and drop it off!!  Free Bradford Pear tree mulch!!!  It covered our back yard; we are very glad, the weeds were OUT of CONTROL!!!
 Okay, so last weekend at the lake these ducks come swimming up to us while we are playing in the water....you would have thought, based on Ansley's reaction, that they were 3 headed ghosts....she screamed and screamed and cried until Eric put her in the boat ... she was deathly afraid of them, but yet felt fine feeding them food from inside the boat.  So she and Eric threw them crackers while Austin and I swam close by.
 LOVE it!!!  Tired (pronounced ty-rad)
The next day we found a new duck and her babies....again Ansley about screamed herself hoarse until we got her back into the boat!!!
