First Day of 4th Grade!!!

Since the Goodwin's have been sooo busy with soccer camps, summer camp, field trips & work this summer I thought before I let the year get a way from me (and start posting christmas pictures) I'd do a little "catch up" posting...

I know Mar-Far is probably jumping for joy as now she won't have to kick me out of the blogging world again....ha ha

That's right it's time for the annual picture on the first day of school...4th grade.....seems like only yesterday we were starting "big boy" school!! WOW our boy has grown so much & is becoming quite the young man!!

It was great this year, Grandpa, Grandma & Aunt JoAnn got to be here for the first day of school (thus all the big smiles!!) And got to see Matthew off on his first day.......

Like the dead plant at the front door~how inviting~see how busy we are, we can't even water the poor plant......

End of Summer Beach Trip

Mom's handsome guys!!
....our "surfer dude"...or boogie board dude!!


We had a chance in August to take a long weekend with Dad & head to the beach in North Carolina....(he had to work over the weekend) so Matthew & I took the opportunity to relax at the beach!! It was a great day, not crowded....the only problem~the jellyfish were biting & Matthew got stung pretty good!!.........We still enjoyed the brief get away & can't wait to go back soon!!

Oh to have a permanent place at the beach......

Summer 2008

We always have fun at Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg!!
Matthew is such a fish-he'd stay in the water all day!!!


We've been to Great Wolf a couple of times but they had some new "rides" this year and new fun things to do!! We had a great time~too bad it was a "mini-vacation"~Matthew could have stayed for a week & still not stayed in the water enough!!
