School Time!


 Kate started 2nd Grade this year. I can't wait to see her rock the school. She has such a passion for learning. I love watching her succeed. Abby is starting Kindergarten. She is so excited and full of energy. She loves life and will love all the fun and new experiences.



The two girls walk home together after school. The first day they were adorably sweet holding hands. And then this is a candid shot of what homework time can look like at our place. So funny. I love these girls and watching them learn and grow.

TOTAL ECLIPSE

 Our house was right in the path of the total Eclipse. It was pretty awesome to see! It got dark enough that the street lights came on. So strange! We live in a beautiful world.

11 Years as the Walter Family

 Jon and I were pretty mellow for our anniversary this year. Dinner and movie, but still nice to just be together. And right around our big day we took the kids to a movie all together. We were shocked that all 3 actually watched the entire movie! Who knew that after 11 years we would be back in SC and have 3 crazy girls. We aren't perfect, but I wouldn't want to run the crazy race of life with anyone else!

Abby's Birthday Party

 Sadly the morning of Abby's party I was not doing well. Jon stepped up and took most of the party decor in hand! His version of Peppa Pig's house was a little different than the original. Abby loved it though. She excitedly said "Dad! You built me Peppa's house!"

 All the credit for the pinata and cake goes to me. Poor, sad Peppa's. But the idea to hang the pinata from the tree with an electric cord is all Jon. Makes it look more like a Halloween decoration, but the kids loved it! And I am definitely not a cake decorator.
Happy birthday Miss Abby! We sure love you kiddo!
