Back to our regular scheduled programming...Summer!

Shelby is fully recovered from surgery and we were back at it with enjoying summer this past weekend. I started my training for the Asheville Citizen-Times Half Marathon with a group of girls on Saturday morning and am looking forward to the next couple months of Saturday long runs. Its always more fun when you train in groups.

Last week my dad helped me stain the front deck and I'm planning on getting the back deck done this week. We are about to kick it into high gear so that we can get the house ready to list this fall. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed with all the work that will need to be done. Whew!

 We went to the Asheville Tourists game on Saturday night and had a really great time. Shelby loved the music they played in between innings and every time a player was at bat, Harding had fun watching the mascots walking around, and Trip and I enjoyed the large selection of local craft beers they had on tap.

When we left the game after the seventh inning stretch, the Tourists were losing 10-0. However, they kept Augusta from getting any hits in the sixth inning, so all the fans got vouchers for free Krispy Kreme doughnuts after the game. This was Harding's favorite part of the night! Is there anything better than a Hot Now Krispy Kreme?

Thanks so much to Carolina Pediatric Therapies for the baseball tickets!

We went to church Sunday morning and I really wanted to get a picture of the kids in their Sunday clothes (especially because my mom made Shelby's dress), but Shelby did not want to pose.

We almost always go eat at our favorite restaurant, El Que Pasa after church. Shelby was a bit more tolerant of the camera between bites of chips. Harding took this one of us being silly.

And last night, we attempted to watch Trip's soccer game, but there was a torrential downpour. Shelby and I tried to stay dry under the umbrella, but Harding ran around and had a blast getting soaking wet.

Welcome July! We are looking forward to many more summer adventures this month in between working on the house.
