Meredith's Birthday Party

Meredith is 11 years old! Where did the time go?!

We rolled out the red carpet!

This was a Hollywood party! So there were stars everywhere!

Here is Meredith's cake:

Meredith is blowing out her candles. Actually, I think she is enjoying everyone singing to her!

We put a log in the firepit and they sat around and talked...one of them is boy crazy and so the big topic of conversation was boys! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!


Poor kitties...they wanted to come out and play...but they had to stay inside.
Meredith and her friends had a good time. After they were done with the fire pit they went inside to play video games and eventually they went to sleep.

Stephen and I survived Meredith's first slumber party.

First Days of School...

Meredith started school Tuesday...here are some pictures of her on her first day. I can't believe she is in Middle School!!! They have a strict dress code. Pants and a collard shirt.
Here is one with her and Devin...Devin still had another day before he started school.
Here is a fun picture of the kids' shadows...

Devin started school the next day. He is in the second grade. Here he is on his first day:

They both seem to like their teachers. Devin's teacher has a lot of energy, and that is important when dealing with Devin. He can exhaust you he has so much energy!!!
