Trip to South Carolina!

So it's Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. We(Bryan, April, Riley, Laura, Lisa (A's sis) and Bump (Lisa's husband) left on Friday afternoon to head to Spartanburg, SC where my sister Cathy lives. Her youngest son plays football for Virginia Tech. Their season opener was on Saturday in Charlotte, NC. We attended the game against East Carolina. It was a great game with VT leading until the final 5 minutes. It was soooo hot and with 2 small kids, it was a struggle to stay cool....did I mention that the game was at high noon? UGH. However, I did experience several firsts...first VT game, first time seeing Andrew in his uniform, first time ever I (or the kids) tailgated, first time ever in Charlotte, NC. Oh, and our tickets were on the 2nd row. Awesome seats. Laura and I were on the Jumbo Tron and she looked too cute! We were lucky enough to visit with Cathy's oldest son and wife from Columbia, SC. Both are pre-med students and work very hard. We have not seen them since their wedding last year. On Sunday, my future niece in law (I call her that!) Jesalyn took pictures of the kids. I can't wait to see how they turn out. Riley jumped off the diving board and was swimming in the deep end in Cathy's pool. That is big deal for the Rilenator! My sisters, Laura and I went to see Mama Mia while everyone else swam. We sang and danced in our seats to all the music of my sister's era. I love ABBA and this was my 2nd time seeing the movie. They both agreed that Pierce Brosnan should not be singing but does look good! haha We have grilled out and eaten till we are sick. Just packing up now as my dear sis and bro-in-law wish to leave at the crack of dawn! :) So that wraps up our end of the summer trip. Back to the grindstone on Tuesday!

Getting back on track...

So I obviously haven't been very good at updating this blog. Let's see, what is going on with the Moore's? I shall forego things that have transpired since our last blog and just pick up on what is going on now.

Riley is playing fall baseball and has made the move up to the 7-8 league. He is no longer the big man on campus but he is doing really well. His team is 2-1 and it is a good opportunity for him to get his feet wet when he gets into spring ball. The fall is much less intense and so it is a good training ground. Riley started school and is doing good....except for the whole getting out of the car and going inside part. It is like pushing a rope but once he gets inside he does well.

Laura has started to play soccer. She is doing well and loves running around. I have a feeling she is going to be one of the better ones but we'll see. She is back at Mother's Day Out on Tues/Thurs and is loving that. Same ole Laura. Four years old going on 24. It's going to be a fun ride with her.

This weekend is Labor Day weekend and we are going with Bump and Lisa to Charlotte, NC to see April's nephew, Andrew, play football. It is Virginia Tech vs. East Carolina and we are now huge Hokie fans.

April and I are doing well. I got a promotion and moved to another company within AIM and it seems to be going very well. April is staying busy running from pillar to post, cleaning houses and delivering kids all over God's creation.

Well that is it for now. It is late and I am just trying to get myself caught back up and into the groove with this.

Later!
