Fall Conference

This past weekend, we had a great couple days back at camp--but this time with Davidson students. Each fall we get to go back to camp for the weekend and are joined by all the RUF groups from North and South Carolina. It is such a fun weekend of visiting with friends, eating good food, hearing wonderful talks, and enjoying an incredible mountain setting. MG has been looking forward to fall conference for atleast a month, and she loved every minute of it. Who could ask for more than being reunited with a few summer conference friends, getting to swim, slide, and swing all weekend long, and enjoying some favorite Davidson students? MG was in heaven and tears were shed after it was all over, as she asked "why is it only two days long?". We especially loved having our dear friend Claire stay with us all weekend. Hopefully she'll still want to hang out with us! Thank you Claire!

Our Big Girl

Last week was MG's first week of 4 year old preschool. She has had a fantastic week and loved every minute of being back! Here are a couple pictures from her first day.

Catching Up

So, I've been dragging my feet on updating my pictures here. My computer crashed a couple of weeks ago, and I lost all of my pictures! (I even had already taken a picture for a Christmas card!) Luckily I had a few still in my camera. No we are not still at camp--although from our blog it looks that way. After camp we got to visit G. and Pops in the mountains and spend a week with Mimi and Freddie in Tennessee. We are so thankful for all the fun we've had. Here are a bunch of pictures from our last month.

MG's favorite place at camp. . . . the swings! We spent at least an hour every morning here.

MG at the WNC Nature Center. We enjoyed seeing coyotes, wolves, bobcats, sheep, butterflies, pigs, peacocks, and even black bears!

Our GPS hopeful! MG loves GPS (where her Mimi went to school and used to work) and was thrilled to try on this old uniform.

One of our favorite spots in Chattanooga is the carousel. This year S got to ride it and loved it even more than MG. This picture doesn't fully convey his excitement.
We love Daddy!
We got to go on the Incline Railroad as well. Here we are at the top.

We love you, Mimi and Freddie! Thanks for a fantastic visit.

When back home, we got a treat--a visit from some of our favorite friends, the Dupees. They were on their way back to Wisconsin--where is that again? We love you, dear friends!

Since we've been home we've spent time in the hose, working in the yard, and countless hours watching the construction right outside our windows. We don't have to go far for entertainment!
