We have really been enjoying having Oma all to ourselves. Although, I think TJ missed his Opa. We have had a great time and Oma has been snapping pictures left and right and since I haven't posted in a while I figured I should. Elizabeth is doing okay, we had a slight scare when we found blood in her stool and we spent 2 1/2 hours at the ER, but she is doing fine... sounds like it was an anal fissure ( a small tear in the anal area inside) no one seemed alarmed. She is eating, sleeping, playing, pooping, and peeing so we know she is good. She now weighs a whopping 10 lbs 7 oz. She is really packing on the ponds. TJ is doing well still with potty training and loving his baby sister. He is such a big helper to me. We can't wait to see everyone at Christmas. Please plan to visit in Aiken for a few days so that the cousins can spend some time together. Love you all.

Maria, Tyler, TJ, and Elizabeth

Do you know exactly how to eat an Oreo?

Kate Says the Funniest Things...Still

So the other day I told Kate she really needed to practice the piano. She has been kind of slack this summer during her break and she starts back next week.

She said to me..."Mom, I will practice but I really need your help! I am working on something new and it is so hard. I tell you, that trouble cleft really causes trouble. I guess that is why they call it the trouble cleft!"

I nearly choked to keep from laughing and told her it was actually called the treble cleft!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIGERS!

The latest Princeton Review is out and look at where Clemson was listed...

Clemson ranked first in the “happiest students” and “jock schools” categories. The jock schools category reflects popularity of intercollegiate, intramural and Greek sports.
Clemson placed second for good town-gown relations with the city, and sixth for best quality of life.
Clemson ranked seventh in two categories: for its athletic facilities and the popularity of intercollegiate sports, and eighth in two others: career and job placement services and participation in intramural sports.Clemson also ranked 20th in a category dubbed “School runs like butter,” which gives high marks to the administration.

Good old BYU took first in my favorite category...Stone Cold Sober!

The University of South Carolina is profiled in the book as one of Princeton Review’s 368 best colleges but didn’t appear in any of the “top 20” ranking lists. - Awww too bad! :)
