Beach weekend

This past weekend we took a small vacation to Edisto for Matt's birthday. We had a great time! We spent much of the weekend just being lazy and eating good food. :) We also spent lots of time at the beach. Anna was SO EXCITED to see the waves and to be near the ocean. It had a been a few months since she had seen the water and back then she couldn't walk, so this beach trip was amazing for her. She played in the sand and in the waves. Due to the horrible riptide (tropical storms were roaming in the atlantic), we wouldn't let her go more than in to her ankles and we had to hold her hands. She loved it though! She also liked eating at the Sea Cow (who doesn't???) and enjoyed her time at the surf shops too! I have to say a huge THANKS to DW for letting us use the condo. It was perfect!!!!


Seeing the waves!


Wow!!!!


Mommy & Anna


Anna and the birthday day boy!!!!


It was a fantastic relaxing weekend!

Well, it is back to school time for me and back to Gran's for Anna. We have adjusted well so far after our first week. It is SOOOOO hard for us to get up early in the morning and then for me to go one way and Anna the other. I miss her terribly during the day. I can't wait until the afternoon when I get to go and pick her up! I just have to remember it is good for her and she definitely loves seeing her Grandparents and her friends during the day.

At Gran's

Fun, fun, fun!!!!

It has been a marvelous few days!! We went to David's 3rd birthday party this weekend! It is hard to believe he is already three. He is such a brilliant and sweet child!

Here some pics from his party!

David giving Uncle Matt a hug. :) Then promptly said "I'm three years old and pick my nose" haha! I love it!

The birthday boy!

Matt and Brynn (Lacy's sweet little girl)

Harrison and I (he was pondering my necklace)

Yes, that's our girl.....tutu and all! Matt decided since it was a boys party she should rock her tutu and she was more than happy to oblige. She had been wanting to wear it for a week.

Me and my best girl

Anna loved Uncle Jd's swing set! (By the way she expects one for Christmas)

Daddy pulling Anna

Gdaddy and Anna - She brought a book over to him and hopped up on the couch

Anna and the kids

Taking over the chairs - playing is hard work

She loved the fish.....of course. I suppose we will eventually have to put a tank in her room.

Playing with Brynn

Pulling out of their driveway.... she was exhausted!

A Visit to BABY BRAYDEN!!! (and to see Jenn and Sam too!) :)

We let Anna ride her plane that Grandpa made in a parking lot. She has really gotten the hang of how to push it with her feet.

A few pics.....updates to follow soon!

Hey everybody! It has been an incredibly busy week. My niece was born last Wednesday!!!!! Baby Brayden is here! My sister Jennifer showed amazing courage and strength while in labor with Brayden. She had a very difficult and long day but after almost 14 hours both Mommy and daughter were okay and recovering. I will post more pics of my sweet niece (and her and Anna) soon! I am giving Jennifer a chance to post her pics online first and then I will post mine. :)

And pictures of our hooligan..... :)
