Parent Night at BPE

Jeremy and I were proud parents at Babson Park Elementary's parent night this evening. Ben and his friends sang songs, answered questions and showed us everything they have been learning over the past five weeks. I can't say enough wonderful things about the preschool program at BPE. We are so lucky to have Mrs. Watts and Mrs. Monk in our lives for the next two years. Here are some adorable pictures from this evening:

Labor Day Weekend

We spent Friday through Monday at Anna Maria Island celebrating the holiday weekend. We stayed at the Tortuga Inn with Grandma and Grandpa Byrd, and right down the hall from us was Papa Stone and Mrs. Pauline. Ben had a great day at preschool on Friday and got to pick a toy from the treasure box. He was so excited when we picked him up! He showed off his spy glasses and was such a good boy on the trip to AMI. We got there around 4:30 and Ben wanted to put his suit on immediately and go swimming. We met the sweetest little family there. They had a nine weeks old baby girl named Lily and a four year old girl named Lucy. Ben had so much fun playing with Lucy. He even played with her mermaid barbies! After a swim, we went to Oma's Pizza for dinner and Joe's Eats & Sweets for dessert. After Joe's, we enjoyed a nice walk at the beach. A family on the beach were releasing lanterns into the sky, so we grabbed beach chairs and enjoyed watching those drift up towards the heavens. They were beautiful! We spent most of Saturday and Sunday playing in the pool or at the beach. We only left the water to eat. It was such a fun way to end summer.

Here are some pictures from our little trip. Summer is officially over. I'm sad, but looking forward to fall football games and lots of pumpkin treats!!!
