Happy first day of school to Dan!

Today is Dan's first day of school! He's now officially in his last year of his MBA program. Norah and I are so proud of how hard he's working to finish his degree- we'll all be glad when he's done!

Sandbox time

Norah turned 15 months old on Monday. She has had a wonderful summer- visiting the beach, seeing her family in Missouri, showing Pop and Granny her house, and playing with her Aunt Laura. Since it's back to school time, she has started a gymnastics class and goes to story time. What a big girl! Now she's looking forward to her second Notre Dame football season. Go Irish!

Pop and Granny McCoy come to Fresno!

What a great weekend! Dad and Fran came out to visit, so we tried find some ways to beat the August heat in Fresno. We spent some time swimming in the pool, had a day at the beach and a day in the mountains at Bass Lake. We were ready for a lazy day at home on Sunday. Overall it was great family time. It's always nice to have visitors, but Norah really loves to see her grandparents. Thankfully, she got to spend lots of time with them over the long weekend.

The coast was great with lunch in Santa Cruz and some beach time in Capitola. The weather was great and we had plenty of time to soak up the sun.

Posing at the Santa Cruz Harbor

The time at the lake was a great time for everyone. We were glad to have Jim, Janis and Laura join us for an afternoon on the water. By Sunday, though, we were ready for easy time in the pool.

The trip was over with too quickly, but we hope we can have them visit again soon. Norah likes the way they read stories.

Come back soon Pop and Granny. I love you!
