And the winner is...Drum roll please...

Congratulations to Grandma Paula for submitting the winning caption.  Sorry Kristi Wheat, you can share in the glory of choosing the winning caption as well; however, Grandma Paula beat you to the trigger. Thank you everyone for participating, this was fun and we look forward to the next photo we can put up for our next contest.  Hallmark has been knocking at the door and begging to get their hands on this photo, but we are holding out for a bigger offer.

Priceless Photography!

WOW! is about all I can say.  I can't believe how much fun it looks like they are having.  Don't let them fool you, they are just trying to hold back their smiles and elation.  Momma took them to a photo shoot while down in Florida and this lady takes AMAZING pictures...that is when the subjects are cooperating.  But as you can see she takes great pictures even at times of adversity.  

We are going to have fun with this one to see how many people respond.  We will have a contest to see who comes up with the best caption for this picture below.  We will review all of them and the one we like best we will post on our blog above the picture.  Come on everyone let's get creative and see how many entries we can get...

Belated Easter Egg Hunt

I apologize this is late; I have been having issues with my laptop at work (where I usually post) and haven't been able to update posts.  Here is a little video montage of the kids at the Lowcountry's Largest Easter Egg Hunt held annually in Bluffton on the Bluffton High School football field.  There were thousands of people there, yes you heard me right, thousands.  It was their first Easter egg hunt and Emma grabbed the concept immediately and ran with it.  Ian, however, was content with the one blue egg he found and could have walked around with it all day if we let him.  We did go to two other Easter egg hunts, if you would click on Emma's tushy to the right to go to our web gallery, you will be able to see pictures of them.  Once there look for the Habersham and Oldfield Easter egg hunts.  Enjoy!

Ride that Daddy, Daddy...

The chiren are always climbing on legs and bouncing around as if they have put a quarter into the side of our knees and expect to get a ride out of them. You can see they don't take to kindly to the ride stopping either. Let's just hope the joints can hold up to all of the hyper-extensions going on.

New Babysitter

We have hired a new babysitter to help Ali out on the weekends while I have to work. He comes highly recommended, you can just leave the kids with him and they are happy all day. You just take the cushions down and cover the floor to catch their fall and Uncle Couch will do the rest to keep them busy. The best part of this is when Ian sees me getting ready to make coffee at the end, he runs over to make it with me and takes a dive off Uncle Couch. Good thing the cushions were there!

I'm Dancin'...I'm Dancin'

Next up on "So You Think You Can Dance", Ian and Emma. These two are the funniest when they hear music. Ian pushes all the buttons on his little music play table and does some dirty dancing, gyrating his hips all around like Shakira, while Emma likes to wiggle back and forth. Silly kids!

Caw?...Caw?

Ian is still on first syllables and can't complete some words like Caw..ffee. So the only thing that comes out, no matter what time of day or night he wants daddy to make coffee, is Caw?...Caw? He looks up, points in the general vicinity of the espresso machine and asks Caw? to see if daddy can go make some coffee even at night when I get home from work. It doesn't matter whether it would keep me awake all night, only that he would like to make some again. This is a daily ritual with us and he gets quite upset if I am not ready for coffee when he is.
