One very nice thing about East Tennessee is the lake house in Rockwood...  We have taken full advantage and spent a few weekends out there enjoying Watts Bar Lake and the company of our families. Family reunions and zip lines are just a few of the highlights from these trips, here are a few pictures from our weekends in Rockwood.

ZIP LINE!!!!

zip line... almost not high enough for adults

The Hogan cousins

Briefly...

It has been months since my last post... But I guess an international family move will put a halt to that sort of thing.  So, after returning back to East Tennessee we have gotten ourselves settled and back into some form of a groove.

Grace began third grade back in August and extra-curricular activities are at a full swing.  She has joined the Sam Houston Singers, a club that meets after school and performs at various school and community functions.  She has been singing her way around the past few days, it is nice.

She has also decided to join a year-round swim team, BLAST, she practices three times a week learning everything from stroke technique and flip turns to how to effectively play sharks and minnows.  

That is a short summary of our summer in East Tennessee so far...
