Kelly in NC

Has it really been 3 weeks since I made a post? I have really been slacking when it comes to this blog. We have been really busy though- so here’s a run down of out latest activities!
~This past weekend, we went to the NC moutains. Tim was in charge of planning and packing for the trip. It is the first time he has taken on travel responsibilities since we have been married- and he did a GREAT job. The only thing he forgot was Grayson’s wet wipes (and actual outfits that matched- but we were roughing it, right?) He invited his brother Marc and his sister Jill and their families too! We hiked to a waterfall on Saturday and spent the rest of time relaxing by the creek.
~Last week at school was VERY busy for me. I had to plan for 80+ 4th graders to visit our middle school and shadow with a 5th grader. I also had a huge honor breakfast and field trip on Friday. I can’t tell you how happy I was to see Friday arrive. Now that all of those tasks are behind me, I am on “easy street”. ONly 4 more days of work!!!!
~Over Memorial Day weekend, Tim’s best friend Carter and his wife Wendy were in town. We spent most of the weekend visiting with them. We cooked out, drank, and just relaxed. I wish Tim had more 3 day weekend off. I really enjoyed having him around so much!
~Tim’s Grandparents were in town from OH on May 17-22. I wish that they lived closer and that we were able to see them more often. They ate dinner at our house on that Tuesday and I enjoyed hearing Grandpa’s stories about his war with the ground hog who keeps trying to eat the garden. He’s a fiesty one that Grandpa!
~May 17, Renee and I took Ella and Grayson to Leah’s 3rd birthday party. The kids had fun swimming in the pool (Grayson loved the little slide), digging for jewels in the sand box, and of course eating cake and ice cream. I am so glad that Angelle and Mike moved up to NC. I wish we saw each other more often- but am glad that we have the type of friendship that exisits even when visits can not happen often.

So there you have the short and sweet version! I’ll try to post photos of all the activites later this week!
