Playgroup fun

Playgroup today was at Hampton Park and I actually had my camera! The kids had fun climbing the trees and feeding the birds.

I wish I knew what these three were talking about and doing, but I took these picts from like 50 yards away. Mary Kathryn's expression is awfully suspicious!

Anne's granddad will love this photo!
Anne and Betsy pose (sort of) for the camera

Sheer glee

Whoa, Annie - Boo!!!!

Happy Birthday, DuBose!

We are so proud of you and we love you very much!

God bless you today and always!

Easter Weekend

We had a fun family filled Easter weekend! Easter is all about the largest blessing ever - Christ's sacrifice for us, what a truly awesome gift. We tried to keep that as our focus this weekend and celebrate it with our loved ones.

Our Little Family
Mary Kathryn and her cousin Bessie-Boo in their fort at the beach house in Garden City. These 2 cuties played non stop all day Sunday

Gregg and Mary Kathryn even bundled up to play on the beach in our unseasonabley cold weather. What a Dad!

Nothing finishes up a day of play better than a shared bath and matching PJ's!

Anne, we love you!

Wow, alot has changed in the last year! Anne you have really become a special part of our family. We all love being around you so much, watching start to walk and talk these past couple of months is so exciting. You are so curious and interested in your surroundings yet still calm and easy-going. You have blessed your mom, dad and sister in more ways this past year than you will ever know. You have already given us so much joy and I know that there is much more to come. God bless you, Annie-boo!

Anne is 1!!

Well after the big hunt, we decided to have a smaller scale bday party for Anne. But it still turned out to be a crowd. But her hair usually does draw a crowd!

Papa dresses for the occasion, of course!

Visit in Holly Hill

Last weekend we drove to Holly Hill to have BBQ with Gregg's grandmom. We had such a nice visit with her and Gregg's aunt and Uncle. MK was out in full force reading a book to her audience page by page and walking it around to everyone for a good look at each page, and asking us to stand while she said the pledge of allegiance and before she said the Lord's Prayer she asked us all to take a deep breath.

Annual Egg Hunt

What fun we and everyone had our 1st annual egg hunt! Great weather, great friends, and a bunny, what could be better?

Little School Easter Egg Hunt

Here are some cute picts from Mary Kathryn's school Easter Egg Hunt:

Hee Hee with my sneaky zoom I got some picts of the Ayers with Jackson's group

Wrong Baby

On the way home from Harris's birthday party, which was a lot of fun (thank you Ayers), Mary Kathryn kepting saying something about Anne's hair laying straight down. We had put bug spray in her hair so it was laying down more than usual. Then she said - "Her hair is laying down , it doesn't look Annie - I think we brought the wrong baby home from the party". At least she cared . . .

almost spring

Melinda and I took the kids to Charlestowne Landing a couple weeks ago on a day that made our mouths water for the warm days that are near. The kids were super cute, of course.

President's Weekend

We went to Gregg's family beach house over the long Presidents weekend and I have been meaning to post for weeks. We had a great time and Aileen and her family joined us which made it even more fun. The kids really enjoyed being together - of course the adults did too!Aileen and I decided that we couldn't really call it a vacation but a family weekend instead. Amanda and Jason stopped by after Amanda finished a 1/2 marathon. What a woman!!! We were so proud.
