Kaitlyn also started soccer a couple of weeks ago. Her first game is this Saturday. We'll see how that goes... James is coaching her team, along with one of his good friends. His daughter and Kaitlyn are great friends - it will be fun watching them play soccer together. James let Kaitlyn pick out the name of their team. She became obsessed with sea creatures this summer after our visit to the beach, so they are called the Stingrays. Or, just "The Rays" as Kaitlyn calls them. I'm sure I'll have some good pictures to post after the weekend.
We have kicked off another year of leading Huddles at Highland. Our freshman are now Sophomores - and they already seem older! I am excited to enjoy another year with these sweet kids.
All the ACU students are back. We live VERY close to campus - so we definitely feel the effects of this! Lots of cars parked on our street, people (guys) driving way too fast, hearing the chapel bells ring from our front yard.... ACU has done some pretty cool renovations lately though. It's neat to walk around campus and see everything new.
We find out the sex of Baby Mayo #3 on Monday! I am so anxious for this appointment. I'm just ready to see him/her and hear from the doctor that everything is progressing normally and that so far everything looks good.
James' job is still going really well. He is given new responsibilities every day it seems like. He is constantly talking about it and trying to think of new ideas. It's fun to finally see him excited about his career, and to see him doing well. His company is sending him to a conference in Virginia for 7 whole days in a few weeks. He is super excited about this opportunity, but we sure will miss him.

Some of our awesome Huddle girls, one guy, and Kaitlyn...
For all of you ACU alumni, this is what used to be the Hilton room in the campus center - now a real food court!
Sweet girls....

A food court? Are you serious? Man, we totally missed out. Is this where all of my money is going? :)
I am SO jealous of the food court! Why couldn't we have had that?
Kaitlyn is looking so much older! Both of your girls are precious and beautiful. I am hoping that Monday finds a Mayo boy in the mix! : )
Also, I have a question about your young 2's class. Jackson just started a two day a week pre-school program, and having just turned two at the beginning of August, he is one of the youngest in the class. Anyway, both days I have picked him up, his teacher has commented (like it is a bad thing) that Jackson is a very active little boy and that he doesn't sit down much. When we picked him up, we peeked through the window and saw that he was actually sitting in the group circle but was doing something on his own (I thought it was good thta he was actually sitting with the rest of the kids, and he wasn't the only one not participating in music time). I guess I thought Jackson's activity level was just a normal part of being a two year old boy and that most two year old's kind of do their own thing and don't like to sit down for extended periods of time. I just thought I would see what your young 2's are like (especially the boys), so I can determine if my child is a freak or if I need to continually remind the teacher that Jackson is the youngest kid in the class. This is also his first pre-school experience. Since you are around other kids his age, perhaps you can offer me some insight? Sorry for the long comment. I should have just e-mailed you.
I can't wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl! Your girls are growing so fast. It blows my mind
Oh my goodness, what precious girls! A food court?? What happened to living on cereal and baked potatos like when we were there? Is the Bean Sprout still the cool place? I really need to get back to campus to check all of this out!
Agh! No more Siggie Sing Song practice in the Hilton Room!
Whoa....I am an ACU alumni, and I can't believe that food court!
food court?!!? Goodness...times sure have changed!
WOW-lots of updates-can't wait to hear that baby #3 is healthy and a ... girl or boy??? i still want to get together with you! i miss you-we need to come to abilene and see all the new stuff-maybe i can talk brad into that! miss you lots! (cora's expressions are priceless!)
Your girls are adorable and I, too, am excited to find out what #3 will be! I will say that the 2 girls, then a boy combo is so fun.
A food court...nice. Of course, that probably would have turned my freshman 15 into more like 30....
Thanks for the picture of the food court! My sister has been telling me about it, but I've been anxious to see a pic. We look forward to coming out there for homecoming. Good luck at the dr tomorrow!
#1: I can't wait to hear some news tomorrow!!!
#2: Food court...what?? I ate Pizza Hut and Chick-fil-a until I just couldn't anymore! I agree with Amanda, though...I would have just turned that 15 into 30 had we had a real food court.
Love you friend!
Can't wait to hear about the next baby Mayo. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow!
