Spontaneous Trip

We made a spontaneous jump to go to Charleston and visit some friends; moreover, to give momma the confidence she needs to travel and be on the road with them by ourselves. She does great but sweares she is no good and worried she will ruin their lives if everything thing is not perfect. What a great mother! Here are a few pictures of when we visited Brad, Sarah and Hunter. Hunter was enthralled with the babies and here he is enjoying his time holding the babies. Thank you guys for having us and for your hospitality; the sushi was great thanks!

SURPRISE GRANNY!!!

This past weekend we made a surprise trip to Cocoa Beach, FL to visit Granny with the kids. It was a great surprise and a fun filled weekend with Granny, Auntie Tricia, Nathan and including their very first trip to the beach. We dipped their feet into the ocean. They didn't like it too much since the water was still a little chilly, however, they forgave us for it since they forgot about it so quickly. Following is a great montage of our weekend pics with a little Hawaiian beachy music. Careful, it will make your eyes well up a little; Ali must be giving me some estrogen pills or something or I must just be getting soft in my old age. I was weeping like a little girl watching this after its completion.

New Blogger

Ian wasn't too pleased with the job I was doing with the blog site and the amount of postings I created, or the lack thereof, so he decided to take over and take care of the blog site all by his lonesome. He has taken quite well to the computer and has learned quickly without the help from his daddy other than a boost up to see what he is writing. See for yourself if you dont believe me.

Road Trip!

A couple weeks ago we had to go to Greenville, SC (our old stomping ground) for a wedding that Ali was in and this was a big deal! Not because she was in a wedding but because it was our first road trip with Ian and Emma in the car for more that 10-20 minutes; try more like 5 hrs! Yep, so to say the least, we were very worried with how they would do. They did great and nearly made it the whole way, only having to stop and feed/change once along the way. This video montage is of some moments captured while staying at the lake house at Lake Keowee. Mary Wayne and 2 of the Kinard Family triplets, Mary Frances and Elizabeth, came to visit and loved Emma as you will see and then some fun time with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Paula at the lake house. Watch out for the shrapnel at the end of the video! Incoming!

Chatty Cathy

Emma is turning into quite the little Chatty Cathy these days. She has discovered how to change the inflection of her voice to where it sounds like she is saying "Uh oh" and then just the other day out of no where she found the higher pitch of her voice. She is learning how to squeal now which can be seen in the third video of this trio.

Its Bumbo Time!

Here are some cute pictures of the chiren having Bumbo and belly time. Ian is funny in his bumbo; it looks like he is having a big ol' belly laugh. And then the two of them holding hands is cute too! Funny kids.

Momma says, "Life is like a box of chocolates... Ian and Emma are what you're gonna get!" That's all I have to say about that.
