WaterColor 2016

WaterColor is Grandma's favorite place for a good reason. It's beautiful, there's lots of fun things going on at the resort, and it's a time when the entire Seaton family gets to be together. 

The first time Luke saw the ocean, he said "Wow!" I don't think he remembered playing in the ocean from his younger days. 

Jack was a little fish. He liked exploring the ocean floor and playing in the waves.

We toured the lake on an electric boat. The boys enjoyed talking about that habitat with the guide. 

Helena joined us for a little bit on vacation. John, Luke, and Helena paddleboarded while Jack and I kayaked. Helena ended the excursion the driest of all of us. The girl has skills. 

The boys have gotten to spend a lot of time with Grandma and Grandpa this summer. John accepted a new position with Nissan at the southeast regional office. So, our family made the move from Greenville a week or so ago. The boys and I called Grandpa and Grandma's house home for about a month. Our Greenville home sold quickly and our Atlanta home took awhile to close. The time with Grandma and Grandpa has been good for the boys. It helped them to never feel any anxiety about the move. Now we are on to our next adventure!

I thought I was a dog person, but then I met Obi and now I think I might be equal parts dog and cat person. He is just the sweetest little kitty. Sweet and sleepy!

End of the Year Programs

It's that time of year that is the busiest for parents. The kids have so many fun things going on, and I don't want to miss a single thing. Luke's preschool graduation was the sweetest thing ever. There was so much I wanted to record that I filled up my memory card and missed half the last song and the last poem recitation. Luke sang his little heart out. You'll probably be able to hear his voice apart from the other children. He gets his talent from his mom obviously! (Note: The videos are larger than what the blog is able to display. If you click on the video, you'll be able to see more. This is especially important on the last video because Jack is on the far right side.)




Yesterday Luke and I went to Jack's 1st grade program. At Jack's school, each class picks something they learned about during the year and the kids (under the teacher's guidance) come up with a way to perform and explain what they learned. Jack's class chose to try to recreate their wax museum. All of the classes did such a great job. They learned about the life cycle of a plant, governments, outer space, taking care of the planet and so much more. It was pretty incredible.






Both boys have had amazing school years. Their teachers are incredible women. It's been a pleasure to watch them learn and grow.

Ms. Carol

This is Ms. Carol, Luke's preschool teacher and one of Luke's very favorite people. I'll always remember Ms. Carol's love for Luke. She summed that love up one day when she said to Luke, "Luke, you make my heart happy."
