Summer is Flying By

Chloe and I have traveled in the car together over 3,600 miles since June 25, 2010. We are both getting a little tired of the van.

Our trip to Myrtle Beach was wonderful. The first few days I was there it felt like spring weather. Just beautiful. I think I have a light tan for the first time in 3 years. The anniversary party was great! So many of our family and friends made the trip to South Carolina to help us celebrate with Mom and Daddy.

Chloe and I attended her Orientation Program on Friday, July 16, in Milledgeville. I am really pleased with Chloe's college choice and hope that she will be happy at GCSU. She was able to meet up with her roommate and put a face to the name. It was a long day. We left Cumming around 5:30 AM and arrived back in town around 5:30 PM. We stopped by the house to let Bandit out and give him some dinner. Chloe finished her packing and then we headed out to find some dinner for ourselves before I took her to her friend, Emily's, house. As I was pulling away in my van, Emily, Chloe, Emily's mother and Emily's sister were getting in their car to drive to TN. Emily's maternal grandmother lives in TN. Emily and Chloe flew from Chattanooga to Orlando on Saturday morning to stay with Emily's paternal grandparents. They will fly back to TN tomorrow and I expect Chloe around 7 or 8 PM.

I've made a few college purchases while Chloe has been away, but I know we really need to gear up for that when she gets home. Only a couple more weeks. Long list and not a lot of time. This could get stressful in a hurry.

One Slothbaby

Chloe and I made the trip north with EJ for R-Day (that would be Reception Day) at West Point June 28. I now only have one baby living at home. The remaining weeks will go very quickly.



The trip was a long drive but I'm so glad we went. We had a really good day and made some memories. My Very Bestest Friend, Jen Duvall, made the trip from Virginia to NY with me and Chloe. We had a great visit and spent lots of quality time together. :-)

The transformation was complete by 6:30 PM. The parade was very impressive and even though all the cadets 'looked alike' we were able to find our boy.

Have a great July 4!

An Ending and a Beginning

Chloe graduated from HS on Tuesday, June 1, 2010!






Three Slothbabies; three HS honor graduates! Come August, there will be 3 Slothbabies in college. No more public school system! We are moving up and onto the next stage. Ready or not, mom, here we go.

Quick Update

I knew it; the spring semester always seems to pass by so quickly.

EJ will complete his first year of college next week. Last day of finals is April 24. When we discussed the subject on Sunday he wasn't sure of his final schedule.

Kate will complete finals the following week and have one more semester (Student Teaching) before she graduates in December.

Chloe has about 25 more days of high school left. She informed me that after May 20 the seniors are not required to report as all their finals will be over.

June 1 - Chloe's graduation

June 28 - EJ reports to West Point

July 10 - 5oth Anniversary Party for Mom and Dad

August 12 - Chloe moves into college

August 14 - Acceptance Day for EJ at West Point.

Too bad I can't take the summer off!
