It never rains in South Carolina...

But, you can grow anything! I would never credit myself with having a green thumb, but here in the Carolinas you can sure pretend to have one. This is just one of 5 pots and a hanging basket that I have on and near our front porch. They all look like this! So what is the magic trick? Water. And if these flowers are lucky I remember everyday. I could never grow flowers like this in Kansas City! I guess if I didn't remember to water them occasionally they would eventually suffer since we are in an extreme drought and 19" behind in rain. If only Fay would head this way...

Blake is at his 2nd day of school and Dane is napping upstairs. I wasn't quite sure what to do! I guess taking pictures of flowers seemed like a good option and better than continuing to unpack and organize :) Blake really loves his school. He carried his backpack in by himself today with just a little help to hang it on the hook, then went right into his room to play! No hug today - just like yesterday. I cried when I left him as an 8-month old and I wanted to cry yesterday because he wouldn't hug me goodbye! The Meyer Center has a great program. He will be in a classroom from 9am-1:30pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. He has all kinds of activities and therapies including music therapy, OT, PT and speech. It functions just like how you would imagine a preschool - circle time, centers, playground time, snacks, and lunch. When I picked him up yesterday he was sitting at the table coloring with his buddies! I got information about PTA which for some reason made me feel old :) Truthfully I am excited to be a part of the PTA and I know it will mean a lot to me to a part of Blake's school experiences. All in all we are so happy to be a part of the Meyer Center and look forward to watching Blake continue to grow and learn!
