Fast Pitch Softball

Ally started her first season playing fast-pitch softball this month. She's holding her own among many girls who are much more experienced. She's learning fast, loves the competition, and really works hard to improve. We really enjoy watching her play, and Paul has enjoyed being a part of the coaching staff. (His first time coaching little girls... a big change from coaching grown men!) I have yet to take my quality camera out to the games, so I apologize for these fuzzy pics taken with my cell phone. Hopefully I'll have some good ones soon.

Labor Day @ The Pool

Along with our new neighborhood we have access to a pool membership. I was able to take the girls to enjoy some fun in the sun on the last day the pool would be open for the summer. Here are a few pics from that fun day.

They had a lot of fun on the waterslide!

Labor Day Weekend

We spent most of the holiday weekend moving into our new house. We had lots of bumps during the purchase period which made things drag out much longer than anticipated... but we are thrilled to report that all is final and the house is finally ours. We are working diligently to get settled... also adding bits and pieces of furniture as the weeks pass. We have a new fridge, a new couch and love seat, a new pub table, and are planning to order a new dining room table by this weekend. We're still missing some key items, such as a coffee table, but we are prioritizing things and slowly working our way down the list.

We want to send out our heart-felt thanks to our family members that helped us with the move. We couldn't have done it without you... and we are so grateful that you were there for us in our time of need. It was a very hot and extremely humid day, and your sweaty efforts are so very appreciated. So to Joe & Paulette, Matt & Michelle, Jordan, and our neighbors Jimmy & Amy, a great big THANK YOU!
