Well summer is officially over. :( I went back to work on August 12, 2013 and Loren went back to school on August 19th. Arden is, of course, still going to sweet Mrs. Cheryl's house. We had a good summer and got a lot of decorating and organization things done in the house as well as a lot of cooking and other preparations for the busy fall time of year. We slept in, swam, went to Wahoos games, visited with my grandmother, and even made it to the Gulfarium. The only thing that could have been better was the weather. It rained nearly every day in July which didn't allow us to swim and be outside as much as we had hoped. Currently, the air is crisp and cool in the mornings and evenings. It is beginning to feel like fall is in the air! Speaking of fall, the college football season kicks off this Thursday, 8.29. Andy will be hosting a small party for some of his friends.

| We hung floor length curtains in our bedroom and a matching set in the bathroom window. Love the light, romantic feel! |
 |
| Andy and the girls on the Fourth of July. We had a great time at the Milton Fireworks with the Millers and other friends. About 30 minutes before the fireworks were to begin, it started pouring. We watched the fireworks under an umbrella but they were still beautiful. |
 |
| We always take a picture of Andy and Grandma. The height difference makes me laugh. This was Andy's birthday dinner at Founaris Brothers in Pensacola. |
 |
| Here is my little Grandma and I making "Panama Chicken." We've been doing this for a few years now. She is 89 ya'll! We are going to visit her in Panama in March to help celebrate her 90th birthday. |
 |
| A typical summer day may have included a trip to Target. Arden asked me to take their picture so I gladly complied. :) |
 |
| This is at our cousin Emerson's princess spa party. They are building a house down the street from us which is so neat because they built a house across the street from us at our old house. Hopefully the girls will all get to hang out soon. |

| Here is Loren sitting at her first grade desk on the supply drop off day. |

| Here is our big first grader headed into the school building on her first day. (8/19/2013) |
