Vacation 2008-Part 1

Last weekend we headed up to Charleston, South Carolina to kick off our weeklong family vacation. We met up with our friends Andrew, Betsy and Annie from Orlando. We also got together with Greg and Elizabeth at Greg’s parents house in Kiawah Island. Annie is just a few months older than Noah, so he was super excited to see her! Betsy and Elizabeth are both pregnant, so next year Jude will have a few new playmates.



The boys got to play golf Saturday and we all enjoyed the pool Saturday afternoon. Sunday we got in the car and headed north to start Vacation 2008- Part 2…

Daddy's Birthday!

Yesterday was Daddy's 33rd birthday! He had the day off work, so he decided to finally take the golf lesson that was given to him for Christmas (thanks John & Noushin)! While he was gone, Noah helped bake a cake for him.



Grandma Lois came over in the afternoon and helped celebrate. Noah helped blow out the candles and we all enjoyed cake (even Jude)!



For dinner, Mommy and Daddy went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and enjoyed a great meal. They even brought out dessert with a candle, so Daddy got to make another wish! It turned out to be a great day.

Jude on the move

Here is a video I took this afternoon of Jude using his newly developed crawling skills to chase the computer around the living room.

Enjoy.

PS. This morning he was standing up when Sherry went to fetch him from the crib.

6 Years Later

We celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary this weekend! We had a sitter watch the boys on Saturday night and we went to dinner at Chew. It was our first time dining there and it was absolutely fabulous. We had the chance to sit down and talk (without being interrupted by our kids!) and remind ourselves how lucky we are to have spent the last six years of our lives together!
