First Day of School

August 17 was a big day in the Hamrick household – Ian’s first day of Kindergarten.  Mimi and Papa came for the big event.  Sean still does not understand why he can’t go to Kindergarten also!  I told him that he’s not quite big enough.  He replied, “But I’m humongous!”  Ian, of course, absolutely loves school! 

Downtown Greenville

While Jeff’s parents were here, we decided to spend an evening downtown.  Greenville is so beautiful! 

Emma’s Birthday Party

On Saturday, Ian and I went to Emma Moye’s 5th birthday party.  It was a carnival theme.  Ian loved all the games, but his favorite part was the cotton candy!

School Open House

Friday, August 14, was Ian’s school open house.  He was a little nervous but thoroughly enjoyed seeing his classroom, meeting Mrs. Burr, and sitting in his desk.  This visit definitely made school on Monday morning a lot easier!

Spray Ground

While in Indy, we met some friends at a “spray ground.”  It was pretty chilly that morning, but the boys wanted to get wet anyway.

Indiana State Fair

Just before school started, we went to Indiana for a week.  I wanted to go in August this year so that we could go the the fair.  We hadn’t been in 5 years!  We did our best to make up for all the years we missed the fair by going twice!  On Friday we went with Mimi and Papa.  Then on Tuesday we went with Nana, Grandad, Mama, and Aunt Brenda.  The boys loved it!

Ian and Sean – August 2009

Just a few pictures of the boys – some from Indy, some from Simpsonville.

Swimming Lessons

Ian took swimming lessons this summer and loved it!  He really enjoys the water!  By the last lesson he could tread water for quite a while.  And (unlike his mother) he doesn’t even mind swimming under water!  I’m a little jealous!

Tea Party

On July 4th we went to a tea party in Fountain Inn.  I’m afraid I didn’t hear many of the speeches, but the boys had a great time having their faces painted and getting really cool balloons!
