Fall has come & gone, Bring on the Holidays!

We have had a great first semester of school. We enjoyed an exciting soccer season with both Megan and Matthew's teams ending with only one loss each. Alain has been keeping us all enteratined with her singing and constant activity, three really is her maniac age! Megan has been swimming as well, although a nasty stomach bug in November has impeded her competition schedule. We started our fall with a wonderful weekend at the lake. We had a great Halloween and enjoyed Thanksgiving at home. We are now all decorated for Christmas, I have survived my first root canal and will get a crown this week, and we are getting ready to celebrate the holidays and our 13 year wedding anniversary in the next month. As usual the end of the year will be a busy one for us! We wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Halloween has struck the Lance house again. Dorothy, an evil fairy princess, and GI Joe have invaded. AS usual we enjoyed our Pumpkin Party at Uncle Joey & Mimi's and trick- or-treating in Nana & Papa's neighborhood! Fun and candy were had by all!

Life is busy as always. Halloween is this weekend and the kids are very excited to trick-or-treat. Soccer is almost over and swimming continues as always. Teri is knee-deep in grad school and Alan is just trying to keep up with these crazy kids. Enjoy some recent photos.

We spent July at the State Swim Meet with both kids placing 5th- Matthew in his realy and Megan in her IM.

We also enjoyed a weekend at the Lake for Labor Day and the kids got to see Uncle Randy take off in his plane!

Summer's Over, School Begins

First Day PICS

August 5th, 2010

What can I say? This crazy summer full of swimming, swimming, and a few beach trips is over and school has begun for me and will begin for the kids on Monday. We had a blast! Now back to school- will try to post more later- too swamped to give details now!

Okay- so it's March and I am just now blogging again! Oh well, it has been a wild ride these last few months. We had a wonderful December and Christmas! We spent January & February at the pool as Megan prepared to swim at the Georgia State Swim Meet. She did a fabulous job and is as excited about swimming as ever. She is now aiming at AAA times- a lofty goal, but one she is working hard at reaching. And we are gettng ready for the last Short Course meet of the season and then off to Long Course before summer team starts! We have also been at the YMCA a good bit as Matthew finished up his 2nd basketball season. He did a great job learning defense and how to dribble and is still working on those shooting skills. We are now full swing into preparations for summer swim team and are still swimming every week. Matthew has joined the year round team in hopes of getting prepared for summer. They are both starting soccer seasons this week and Alaina is spending her time running around either the pool or soccer field at full tilt asking when she can play. It is a busy life but one we enjoy! We are very excited about the upcoming Spring weather and are counting down until summer already! Come check out a game or swim meet anytime!

Wow- It's November already!!!

We've had a busy month. Alaina and I have been struggling with a nasty cough- mine equaling bronchitis. Alaina loved fall and all that went with it. Candy Corn was her favorite part, though she loved pumpkins as well. Megan swam another meet at the end of the month- shaving time in 4 out of 5 races. Both Megan and Matthew's soccer season has come to a haitus due to all the rain we have been having here in Georgia. Matthew's coach has taken to calling and saying, "Well it's soccer day so of course it's raining." We are hoping to wrap up the season in the next two weeks, as basketball is right around the corner for Matthew. We had an exciting Halloween with Mimi's pumpkin party and an evening of trick-or-treating at Nana's. Enjoy the slideshow of both of those events! Novemeber is off and running with a trip to Toccoa for a family photo shoot at the falls. We are gearing up for a busy month with more swimming, soccer, and holiday activity. Check back with us soon!

Megan's swim meet!

Megan swam in her first meet of the year round season yesterday! She swam a personal best in 2 out of 5 races, shaving an amazing 3 and 1/2 seconds off her IM - a grueling race involving all four strokes. She also shaved off her breast stroke. The other three races were improvements on last year's times, but not persoanl bests. She is doing amazing and loving her new team, we all are!
Everyonne else is doing well and we are gearing up for our trip to Moultrie next weekend!
