Little late






Well, although Memorial Day has come and gone, I thought I would post some of our events anyway. We had a GREAT weekend. Our friends, the Kendricks, came up from Norfolk with their son Dylan. We spent Saturday at Luray Caverns up near Skyline drive. It was great. We got there right before the crowd. But boy have things changed up there since my 4th grade field trip! I never knew how popular they were or just how many people a cavern can hold!! But we all enjoyed the sights and wonder of such a neat place. On the way home, we stopped for icecream and to shop at the vendors along the road. I found a great white rocking chair for the front porch, which I have been waiting patiently for. But we got a good deal on it. On Sunday we went fishing at a riverbank which runs along the backside of our neighborhood. Tom was the only successful fisherman, but Dylan got the prize of the day, a baby painted turtle. Beau had a nice nap in mommy's lap. Afterwards, we went to the neighborhood pool, which some regretted after we felt the water!! Burr, cold. We wished the weekend could last longer, but our friends had to leave and we had to get back to reality.

rain, rain go away





The Sargent Family is ready for summer, even if the weather is not!! It has been raining here for about three days. While we love the rain, we are ready for some sunshine. We had a great past weekend. Friday night we met up with some friends of ours, the Cashins, they have three adorable boys, and went to an outdoor concert. We met up and had some pizza, yummy! (which Beau also enjoyed, one of the foods he likes) Then we went over to the concert to see the Wailers, as in Bob Marley and the Wailers, minus Bob. It was perfect. What a great night to be out and enjoy the warm weather and listen to music. All the boys enjoyed themselves and even got a little dirty. Beau was dancing and clapping his hands. He really liked the live band and didn't seem to mind how loud it was. Mommy loved the music, one of her favoriate bands. Just wished it could have lasted longer.
We are gearing up for Nikki's big weekend. Mamo(grandma) (aka seamstress extrodinare) tailored Beau's pants and bow tie. Can't wait to post that picture!! Just waiting for the big day!! Beau will be a ring bearer, but he won't really be holding it because it would probably just throw it anyway. We are hoping he will just stay in the wagon. We'll see!! Wish us luck.
