Homeschool News:

I am down to 2 homeschoolers this year! Annalee will be a HS Senior and Gabe will be a HS Sophomore... wow, time flies!

Annalee is working towards becoming a professional photographer. You should check out her Instagram account: shots.by.anne :) She is very talented!

Gabe just finished his Drivers' Ed course through FLVS and is the last of the kiddos to get his permit. Now, onto driving on the road- God, help me!

Family Reunion 2012, Destin, FL

We had a great time with the family in Destin last month!  We all rented a very large house near the beach in Destin, FL- just before Hurricane Isaac blew through.  And, for the first time in four loooong years, my whole immediate family was together again :).  Here's a few photos that I took while we were there: 
 
 


Cousins!  My kids loved getting to know their cousins (again)- you can't tell by Gabe's face, but he had a fantastic time with my sister's oldest child, Cooper.




 
 
Here's the one and only picture I have of Noah!  He wasn't too impressed with the beach, especially since we have the same white sand beaches in South Florida... moreover, he's an up-and-coming teen.  He was more excited about the rental house having cable!
 

 
 
 
 
Annalee and my niece, Claire, were inseparable!    
 
 
 
 

 
Papaw and Mamaw entertained the kids in the pool- I think we thoroughly wore them out for at least a month.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The silly girl cousins posed for this picture :)  My girls will be excellent babysitters in the near future!
 
 
 

I even got a picture of Andy, my picture-evading hubby :)  Yes, that's him with all the hair!
You can see my brother's wife, Hannah, in the background... they are expecting their first child in December!
 
 
 

 
Annalee and Claire again... and the disappearing blanket!
 

 
 

 
Family fun in the pool!  I think this was a favorite spot for most of the kids.
 
 
 
 

 
My parents, the ones responsible for our crazy week!  Thanks :)

This shot took me about 5 times to get right, but they are both in the air!  
 
 
 

 
Papaw and the grandkids (minus Noah) at the beach.
 

 
 

 
Gabe tried out the baby floatie for this picture :)
 
 
 

Our final activity- the arcade!  I think we won about a quadrillion tickets combined.  What a great week!  Miss you guys already.
