Soccer

Last week was the start of the soccer season for Jacob. He loved it! Ashraf and I were so excited to see him in his "uniform" and on the field. The kids are so small, but it is adorable to watch.

Toasty

Meet Toasty. This sweet and beautiful rooster found its way to our front porch last week. He was so friendly and Jacob adored him. Noni on the other hand did not. We had to find Toasty a new home. He sure is missed.

Uncle Rob's birthday 2010.....we are late uploading pictures due to a mean virus that attacked our computer this summer. Yay! We finally got it back this weekend.

Happy Independence Day!

Ormond Beach, FL

We ended up in Florida this year because it was sooo much cheaper than South Carolina.It was strange at first without the rest of the "family", but it was fun. It was beautiful there with the most amazing blue water. It felt tropical. We took the kids to Magic Kingdom for the day - 12 hours of fun! I wish I was back on the beach.

Ellen's birthday

We celebrated Ellen turning 14 on Sunday. Jacob went swimming and even rode around on a four-wheeler with his cousins. Jacob sure does love his cousins. Happy Birthday Ellen.

Growing up....

Wow, sometimes it really hits me how much Jacob is growing. I feel like he is so much closer to thirteen than four. Tonight we were leaving to grab a bite to eat with my Mom and he opened the car, jumped in the driver's side, and said, "Hand me the keys Mom so I can get it started." Everytime he does something like that my heart pounds. I just know he is going to grow up and leave me. All little boys eventually leave their Moms..
