The Big Game...The Battle of the Carolinas

UNC TARHEELS

VS:

USC SHAMECOCKS

I don't have any pictures of us decked out in our Tarheel gear b/c Jonathan (a.k.a. Niagra Falls) spit up on his cool uniform before I could pull the camera out! Guess I'll be quicker next time... I'll be sure to post some more pictures of our Tarheel family soon.

I will be honest in my post... UNC lost the game. But we put up a good fight and only lost by 6 points! My USC fans out there... You know who you are (hmmm Julie and David) - be very afraid for next year! :)

Visit to Erskine College

October 6, 2007

Adam and I were able to take a day trip to our Alma-mater, Erskine College, for homecoming. Erskine doesn't have a football team so our homecomings are out at the soccer games. Although it's October, the weather felt like mid-July... it was quite warm! Jonathan did great traveling and enjoyed the fun times outdoors. It was really great to get to visit w/ our friends from Due West.











In the midst of the good times, I came to the realization that change is inevitable...



New Construction on Memorial Hall The good ol' BP has closed down and Due West has moved on to bigger and better... the Dollar General :)





And new monuments and stone things taking up green space around campus... but then again.... some things never change.

The Due West ARP Church continues to welcome new students to come inside to find their church home while at college.


The Due West Hardware Store still leaves plants and other merchandise outside... rain or shine - whether the store is open or closed!

Erskine continues to try to recruit new members to the Flying Fleet Club

And Adam will continue to tolerate my love of taking pictures wherever we go :)

Football and Homecoming

October 5, 2007
We went to our second Lancaster High School football game - I took my camera in this time. LHS played at South Pointe High but it was also special b/c one of our youth group members was on South Pointe's 1st ever homecoming court! Jonathan enjoyed the football game - he LOVES when there is stuff going on and couldn't take his eyes off the field. Adam enjoyed being able to show Jonathan off to several of his co-workers but the evening didn't turn out in Lancaster's favor. We went home after the half-time show but LHS lost the game to South Pointe. We had a great evening but had to head home for a busy day tomorrow... see next post for more exciting times for our family!

Just for laughs...

I'm actually getting 2 new posts in w/in a week! So - Jonathan is taking a nap and I wanted to share some more pictures w/ you...



Although I don't have any pictures (I didn't know if they'd let me take my bag in)- Jonathan got to go to his first football game. It was high school... Lancaster at Northwestern. He loved the game but I think he liked watching the cheerleaders better - their bright yellow uniforms were eye-catching I guess. :) We'll be going to another Lancaster football game this Friday night, so I'll have to get some more pictures at that. Next is just a few random pictures of Jonathan w/ his daddy... When daddy is home, he's the only person Jonathan wants to see :) Mommy is invisible!


And finally... my dad - Jonathan's paw-paw - is working LOTS of hours at Duke Power but still has time to squeeze in for his favorite little man! He and Gramma came over to our house for a brief visit... just long enough to take a few pictures and get a few smiles and giggles :)



So - that's our update. We're busy as always but hoping to have some good family time coming up... We're going to Erskine homecoming this weekend (Oct. 6) and possibly a beach trip coming up first of November. Adam and I will also be taking Jonathan on the youth group trip at the end of November but the location is top secret so I can't tell you that yet! Until next time...
