CJ Turns 8 (7/27/08)

Here is a slide show of CJ's birthday parties - yes parties - he had 3. Two at Chuckie Cheese (one in Greenville and one in Columbia) and one at our house and church, ok maybe 4. We have moved on from lots of little gifts to one big gift, this year, a Nintendo DS, but he would still like a real light saber for Christmas.

We are off to Charleston for the weekend and then one more week before school starts!!!!!

Lost Tooth

Maggie lost her first tooth on July 26!!! That tooth hung on for weeks - but finally, after a promise of candy - she let me pull it out.

Free Time

WOW! I sure am behind. Apparently we do not lead very eventful lives. The kids enjoyed the fireworks on the 4th. It has been amusing to watch them go from being scared to wanting them to be louder.

The kids left Thursday for Tenessee to stay with Nana and Papa for a week!!!! Chris and I went to the beach with our friends David and Nicole over the weekend and have spent the rest of our free time going out to eat and purging their toys!!! I am sure they will not miss a thing.

The end of the week brings CJ's 8th birthday - he wants to go to Chucky Cheese in Greenville AND Columbia!!! Great.

I will post pictures from their vacation in TN and the birthday party over the weekend.

Check out my Slide Show!

Baby Reynolds is Here!

Andrew Jacob made his debut Sunday June 22. Michele did great and Devin, although he says he was frantic, seemed very together. Andrew wasted no time - they arrived in their hospital room at 2:45 p.m. and he arrived around 3:15 p.m. Now that is the way to have a baby! Congratulations guys!!! We cannot wait to babysit.

Surprise

Today our preachers wife had her children and my children at a park and they ran into one of my friends from high school who now lives out of state. Andrea was here for two days visiting her ailing grandmother and just had a new baby girl 3 weeks ago! I was able to visit with her on my way to girls night out. It was good to see her and her family (its been 2 years)! Girls night out was a good time, we really need to do it more often.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

We had a nice day today - we gave my Dad a new grill, the kids played in the pool and Mom made her famous fried chicken! Poor Chris did not get a thing but a headache from our dogs! But he is a wonderful father and husband and I love him - what else does he need :-)
