August was a busy month with Uncle Ben coming to stay with us, major projects and work done to the house, Mary Grace starting school full time AND sleeping in her big-girl bed :) I was out of town for a week for work and the month just flew by in a flash.

Little Miss spent her first night in her big girl bed, and that went surprisingly well. I don't think she knew she could get out at first! When we checked on her, though... she wasn't quite all the way in it!



















We set her up again, lol.















We also had Beginning Day for my sorority chapter. The event was at our house, in the back yard and it kind of felt like my last hoorah with the girls. We had a great time - as did the kids - and got some great pics :)

The best group of girls!
