The Zoo

On Sunday we stopped at the Atlanta Zoo before heading to Tupelo.

Both girls reached the top of the rock wall. This was Meri Alan's first time to reach the top of a rock wall and ring the bell. She was excited!

Saturday

On Saturday we visited the Cabbage Patch Hospital, the Kangaroo Conservation Center and the outlet mall. I highly recommend the Kangaroo Center. It was very interesting and lots of fun!

Atlanta

On Friday we headed to Atlanta for a couple of nights for a much needed break and some fun.

We ate at American Girl Bistro Friday evening and hung out at the mall.

Thr Birthday Girl

Meri Alan turned 7 last Wednesday. Here are some of the highlights. We celebrated at school with her friends!
We stopped at D'Casa for dinner before heading to choir. Her friend, Francisco, gave her a pie in the face! She had a wonderful day and I can't believe that my baby is 7!

Meri Alan's Barbie Bash!

Meri Alan will be 7 tomorrow. We had her party a little early this year. She wanted a Barbie party at the Calvary gym. It was a lot of fun!!
She loved getting to play whatever she wanted to in the gym. Rebecca and Sara Frances

First Day of School!

I know my girls are having a great first day of school today. It has really snuck up on us this year!

Here is Meri Alan ready for her fun day in first grade with Ms. Carpenter.
Sara Frances was pumped about having red, white, and blue day in Ms. Wardlaw's fourth grade class.

It's Almost That Time Again....

Is it really time for school to start again?

My girls LOVE school but I think all of us could use a few more days to sleep late and have fun!

This weekend we had one last hoorah when Miss Carley picked us up in her Biebermobile!!

We had a great time at the concert!

We enjoyed our dinner at Houstons and then headed to Target before hitting the concert.

Sara Frances and Maury

Here are some pictures of Sara Frances when she got back from camp last week. We missed her a lot even though she was only gone 2 nights. She can't wait to go again next summer. Someone was VERY glad to see her big sis!
