The Savel Girls

 

September 18, 2001:  I am really bad at updating this thing!  The girls have their first soccer game yesterday!  They won 4-1 and Catherine scored a goal!  Here are some pictures!  During the practice the weather was hot and humid high of 90s!  The first game: cold, misty and 58 degrees! 

 

         

 

         

 

         

 

         

 

July 17, 2011:  So it has been a few months since I have updated this page.  So I will just do it with pictures:

October 22, 2010:  My parents are coming in from Michigan today and the girls will get their present from them:

 

I bought it and put it together and had it hidden in a room…can’t wait until they see it this afternoon.

I can see lots of primping going on here…

 

 

October 21, 2010:  The first project of the year:  A pumpkin book report.  The girls had to decorate a pumpkin to look like the main character.  Kimberly chose Stellaluna and Samantha did Officer Buckle.  They did a great job!

 

         

 

 

October 18, 2010:  A few weekends ago we went to Washington DC.  It was so much fun!

 

We rode the Metro

 

Got to see everything on the Mall

 

Just for fun!

 

Lincoln Memorial – memorizing the Gettysburg Address

 

It was a fabulous weekend!

These girls are amazing!!!

 

 

 

September 21, 2010:  The girls turn 7 in just 2 days.  This weekend we gave them their present from us.  We got them a Razor Electric scooter.  They loved it.  And yes, we only got one for several reasons, but they are doing a wonderful job of sharing it. 

 

 

                   

 

 

September 17, 2010:  Squirrels...suck!

And Catherine finally lost her gray tooth!  J

 

July 16, 2010:  Wow!  Times flies when you move across country, drive to Michigan, then back to North Carolina and get settled in a new and very different place.  Here are some pictures of the summer so far:

June 2, 2010:  Busy couple of days here.  The girls’ last day of school was Friday and we had a neighborhood water balloon fight.  45 minutes…14 kids…100s of balloons.  Then we had a huge storm come through (surprise surprise) and the girls were drawing pictures of it.  Then Kimberly and Samantha had their tonsils out.  They did great.  They were a little nervous right before and Samantha came out of anesthesia with fist flying (did you expect anything else).  But they are doing great…eating hot dogs and popsicles.  T minus 14 days until we are out of here…

 

 

                   

 

         

 

 

May 28, 2010:  Today is the girls last day of school!  As of 4:00 today we will have second graders in the house!  We are so proud of them!  And yes, I cried as they left for the bus by themselves today.  Paul said it was time…I was still sad! But I am so excited for this crazy summer!  We are going to have so much fun and the motto of the summer will be “to relax and have a good time!”  It is going to be a crazy beginning to the summer, but we wouldn’t want it any other way!

 

         

First day of school Aug 2009 – Last day of school May 2010

 

 

                   

The girls being silly  -  walking to the bus without me. 

 

May 24, 2010:  Here are some pictures from this weekend.  Kimberly lost a tooth and the weather has been great for some swimming.  I am hoping to update this as we drive across country in a few weeks!

 

 

 

         

 

 

 

                                       

 

 

May 12, 2010:  Easter:

 

 

January 18, 2010:  We took the girls snow tubing on Saturday!  They had a blast:

 

 

                  

 

January 5, 2010:  People it is cold outside:

 

 

January 2, 2010:  We finished up the quilts today!  They turned out pretty good…and I am done sewing for a while:

 

 

December 31, 2009:  Here are some things that have happened in December:

 

We took the girls skating…they had a blast and by the end of the time they were skating like pros…who still sometimes fall down! 

 

 

They had a Christmas piano recital at the house.  A few of the neighborhood children came by to listen and have some hot chocolate! They are pictured with their music teacher, Mrs. Susan. 

 

 

And we went to Disney…for Christmas!

 

 

We came home to lots and lots snow and then it snowed some more…

 

 

 

December 12, 2009:  The girls cannot get enough of the snow!  They used their birthday presents and started to build a fort.  They also have their ammo ready for a true snowball fight.

 

 

 

         

 

December 8, 2009:  Our first snow day happened today.  We got the call at 6:00am and the girls were up and dressed and out the door by 7:30!  They had a blast! 

 

                   

 

                             

 

                                       

 

December 7, 2009:  We were at a Christmas party last night and look who showed up:

 

 

December 3, 2009:  Finally Samantha’s tooth came out:

 

         

 

 

November 27, 2009:  Wow, I am really bad at keeping this thing updated!  J  I did just get back my battery charger so I can take pictures again.  We had some visitors for Thanksgiving and we had a blast!  LaDonna, Dennis, Michael, Hannah and Addison came down (well really over) to spend some time with us.  Here are some pictures of the trip:

 

We went to Granite City for dinner and then to Legends to see the tree…then we went and got some custard

(not really sure why…it was so cold outside and it happen to be a find raiser night for a wrestling team…it was crazy busy!)

         

YUM!  Custard!

 

 

 

The next day we went to the WWI museum!  They had a good time…but I think that Michael got the most out of it. 

We went up to the top of the tower above…below are the views from the top: 

 

                   

 

 

 

While Michael was here, he pretty much carried around a book then entire time…the girls decided that they wanted to be just like Michael:

Having slushes while reading…very cute!

 

 

 

And last but not least…Samantha’s tooth is VERY loose…we tried all week to get it out…no luck…

So far…

 

November 2, 2009:  Fall is here and my favorite holiday has past!  Here are some pictures from our Halloween day and night:

 

 

                   

 

         

 

 

         

 

October 27, 2009:  I realized that I didn’t really share any birthday pictures, visit with my dad, sister and twins pictures, or more soccer pictures…so here you go!

 

         

Opening presents from Grandma Kaye and their friends at their bowling birthday party.

 

 

        

The friends met the girls at the bus stop and we all enjoyed more cake and ice cream.

The girls’ soccer game...

Paul got to help coach a game…

And coach is still getting S and C mixed up!  J

(K is 9, S is 8 and C is 10)

 

Had to share this one of me and Cara holding our camouflage 16 ounce can of Miller High Life (the six pack was less than $4)…

 

October 24, 2009:  Here are some pictures of the girls going off to school…this is the beginning of the cold weather!  Also Samantha lost another tooth and she took a random picture of our living room…so I thought I would share!

 

                   

 

 

 

October 20, 2009:  Busy Busy Busy!  Things here are good.  Here are some pictures from the neighborhood chili cook off that we had a few weeks ago and I won!!!  J  The band played in our driveway and we froze with the very cold wind…but it was fun!
