Meg's soccer team

Meg's soccer team is rolling again this year.  They have won both of their games by double digits!

Fantasy Football Champs

The Barbours were finally able to hoist the trophy from their 2014 Fantasy Football Championship. The 2015 draft shows promise as well.

Pre-Season Basketball Camp

Charlie had a Grizzlies camp this afternoon.  A few of the NBA players made appearances and ran the kids through drills.  Charlie and his buddies loved it!

Louise Trip

Charlie has been wanting to take Luke to Louise for some time, and we were able to get some work out of him as well.  The Aquarium was the hit of the day as always.

Fruit of the Spirit finale

Tonight was the culmination of a summer of learning about the Fruit of the Spirit.  The children gathered for a summary of the Fruit of the Spirit, and then we broke into groups to attend activities representing six of the Fruit of the Spirit.  Charlie's favorite was Patience - fortunately for him, it didn't take him too much patience to learn how to catch a ball in the solo cup.

Charlie's Creative Writing

Charlie used his vocabulary words very well tonight!

Ready for football!

The men in our family are ready for some football!

Meg's Ballet

These cuties are taking ballet together this year.  Courtney drove the carpool today and sent me this sweet picture of our girls warming up on their own before class.  They take ballet very seriously!

Waiting on Pop

The children love it when Pop visits.  Charlie especially loves having someone to throw the football with.

Meg and Friends

These sweet friends enjoyed their first day, too!  Since it was a half day, we celebrated with lunch at Jaco's Tacos.

Boy fun at Laurel Park

After their half day of school, these crazy boys headed to Laurel Park for lunch and pick up games.

First Day of FPDS

The children LOVE their teachers.  Meg got Mrs. Tidwell, and Charlie has Ms. Marble.

First day of school

Jane Gray had a half day on Friday, but today was the first day for all three to be back in school.  We have a 7th, 4th, and 2nd grader!

Jane Gray and Liddy join the church

Jane Gray and Liddy joined the church today.  The whole family was there, and we celebrated after church with lunch at Aunt Fair's house.  Pop gave the girls beautiful silver cross necklaces to commemorate the special day.

Meg says her Catechism

Meg said her catechism to Mr. Armstrong on July 26, and she received her Bible tonight.  Her sweet Sunday school teachers, the Pluckers, were there to congratulate her.

Meg and Grace

These cuties sure know how to torture Grace's cat, Olivia.  This afternoon, they dressed her as an Ole Miss cheerleader!

Herrings' Lake Party

Sarah invited Jane Gray and several of their friends to her house to play on the lake.  The girls had so much fun together!

JP cheer camp

Meg and some of her friends went to the Prep cheer camp this morning.  Meg loves to cheer!

Sweet friends

We took these friends (and their sisters) to Nandy's Candy to celebrate the start of school and thank them for being so sweet to Charlie when he had his tonsils removed.  Each of these boys (and Lytle) visited Charlie during his recovery.

Jane Gray's birthday lunch

After 7th grade orientation, Jane Gray and 15 of her friends celebrated her birthday at Zeek'z House of Gyros.  The food was delicious, but we made the mistake of putting the birthday favors (bags of giant gumballs) on the tables for the girls to chew before lunch.  Rosy in particular always had a big wad of gum in her mouth!  We had cookie cake for dessert and sang "happy birthday" to a very happy birthday girl!
