The Boys logging thier find




Matthew & Michael found lots of goodies in this cache...
appropriately called the "Geocache Supply Kit"





Matthew & Michael getting ready to place our 1st geocache,
Land Between the Lakes, at West Ashley Park. We chose this place because it is on a strip of land between 2 lakes and reminds us of the great vacations that we take in Kentucky

The Edge of America

MICHAEL
WHAT A LOOK


THE LOST DOG IS AWESOME
Though we'd head to Folly after church and eat at the Lost Dog (where the locals go...). We think we're locals ever since we spent 2 mos. living at Folly Beach last spring after our pipe burst and majorly flooded our house. The good thing was living at Folly. Me and the kids made friends and fell in love with the town. So, this and every year that we can, we are going to rent the same townhouse for a month and "live" at Folly 1 month/year. If we can't own there, we'll live there for a month each year!

TWO NEW SCHOOLS AND A NEW JOB...


A FUN TRIP TO THE CITADEL CLEMSON GAME

MIDDLE SCHOOL & ELEMENTARY!


HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS!
OK SO YES I AM VERY TIRED!! I HAVE RETURNED TO WORK FULL TIME THIS YEAR AFTER BEING A PART TIMER FOR 13 YRS! I WORKED NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS FOR SO LONG SO I COULD BE HOME W/ THE KIDS. NOW THAT EVERYONE IS IN SCHOOL, I AM IN SCHOOL TOO. MIDDLE SCHOOL, THAT IS , AT FT JOHNSON AS THE SCHOOL NURSE.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BUSY AND SO HAPPY. THIS IS ALSO MY FIRST TIME HAVING THE 3 IN 3 SCHOOLS. THEY HAVE TRANSITIONED BEAUTIFULLY AND MAKE MY JOB ALOT EASIER. WE LEAVE AT 6:30AM AND RETURN HOME WHENEVER THE DAY ENDS, DEPENDING ON AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, ETC... ITS GREAT SEEING EACH OF THEM CHALLENGED AND LEARNING NEW LIFE SKILLS. SO FAR WE ARE THRILLED WITH THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND MORGAN AND MATTHEW LOVE WEARING "REAL CLOTHES" & THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY THERE. POOR MICHAEL IS NOW THE ONLY ONE IN UNIFORM, BUT HE LOVES NATIVITY & IS THRIVING THERE. SO WE TRAVELLED TO THE CLEMSON/CITADEL GAME IN CLEMSON AND OF COURSE OVERDID IT LIKE ALWAYS. THIS PAST WEEK WE WERE DRAGGING OUT OF BED EVERY MORNING AT 5:30 & I WAS REGRETTING HAVING HAD SO MUCH FUN...BUT ITS GREAT FAMILY TIMES AND WE WENT WITH THE ROLLINS. THEY ARE GREAT FRIENDS AND LOTS OF FUN! WE ALSO MET TIM,ANNE, MAGGIE , KIM AND DANIEL THERE. IT WAS FUN SPENDING TIME TOGETHER!
