Where has summer gone??

Wow! In just three more short weeks we are back in the swing of work/school and I cannot believe it. As a working mom (especially since I have worked this summer)...I have had the mom guilt (but who doesn't...I think it never goes away?!) Anyway...I was trying to think of ways to have some last minute summer fun moments with Norah and hope I have a few up my sleeve! I think to catch the ole' family blog/scrapbook up...it is best to have a bullet post...and yes...this is a wordy post. :)
  • A wonderful woman I was blessed enough to meet during my short time in Pawleys Island passed away after a hard fought battle with cancer. She was a phenomenal woman and I cannot say enough about her. I pray for Mrs. Ellen's family to have peace and know that she will not be forgotten.
  • Norah is changing so much...she has lost 4 teeth total...she is starting to "sass" us at times (not acceptable!)...but all in all...she is amazing and we are so enjoying her at every stage! She has had a great summer and has enjoyed her camps and times spent with friends and family (thank you to everyone who has helped me out or just spend some quality time with her...she has loved it!)
  • To be honest, these last couple of weeks have been a blur...a lot of work involved and trying to balance home life, but still we have had a lot of summer fun. Work has been busy but great! It reminds me of how much fun I had working with my Mountaineer Team at The Hollow. I think it is going to be a great year and love the positive energy everyone has for the new school year!
  • Norah is now at another camp with the famous Mrs. Flo and Mr. Phil at school each morning and at night this week she is going to a great activity night at a local church...she is having a great time!
  • Another thing to mention is that Norah and I have lived in Pawleys Island for a little over a year and Jeff has not quite made that mark yet (I think October will be about 1 year for him.) We are super thankful to have met some incredible people and be involved in a great Church, groups, etc. I still depend on Amazon.com for many "necessities" and have moments of homesickness for Charlotte...but feel so lucky to live here. We look forward to the many years to come in Pawleys Island!
  • Today Norah had her annual check up since she is now the big 6 years old. Of course, she is still off the charts in height and weight...and received a perfect bill of health. And I learned that she won't get another immunization until she is 11! They did say that she needs to see a dermatologist so gotta make that appointment. 
  • So if you made it through all that...picture time!
We were lucky enough to be invited to the Ribbon Club Dance in Georgetown by our friends-The Wilcox family. Here is Glenn and I right when we arrived! We had a great time! I even ran into some folks that confirmed what a small world it is around here...how nice to catch up!

At the end of the night of the Ribbon Club dance...I remembered that Jeff and I had not taken any pics of us...hence, the self car portrait that you see on many of our date nights! :)...I sure do love my hubby!
Norah's 4th tooth (her second front tooth) came out in the morning before camp...so this was taken right after it happened...she was so excited. Later the Tooth Fairy stopped by and left chocolate gold coins and money....she was over the moon! She deemed the Tooth Fairy the best ever!
Both pics above are from last night when Norah and Ellie headed to Nick at Nite! The first one is before they took a shower and the next one is after a shower...they put on their matching dresses! So cute!
Well off to have a little down time while Norah enjoys another night out getting messy!
