Week Off

After spending a few days on Saint Simon's, we did something out of the ordinary for us....on the drive home, we made an impromptu decision to exit the highway and extend our vacation by a few days.  This topped the week off nicely.  I'm getting used to being offline, away from work, and without an alarm clock.  Now, if only I could win the lottery...and get someone to bring Olive down to join us.

After a nice break this week where the kids had an awesome time at Grandma and Grandpa's and we had our own fun with my sister coming to town, we ended up with a new addition to our yard.  Let the years of fun, sweat, sibling rivalries, buzzer beaters, and hoop dreams begin ....
