Hiking

Will had been wanting to go on a hike for a while so after church on Sunday, we headed to the mountains. We found a nice spot for a picnic and then went on a little hike. We even saw a deer on the drive up! We are so fortunate to have the mountains so close.

Hilton Head - July 2009

We just returned from a WONDERFUL week in Hilton Head with Bill's entire family (in all, there were 21 of us). What a blessing to be able to get together allowing our children to spend quality time with their aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. Will LOVED building and digging in the sand. The pool was a huge hit as well. Will has been taking swimming lessons the past few weeks and they finally paid off - he swam under water!!! He was so proud of himself (as were we). Alex wasn't crazy about the beach or the pool but had a blast exploring inside the house and taking bike rides. We can't wait for next year!

Alex's First Birthday Party

We celebrated Alex's First Birthday last weekend with family and a couple of our neighbors. We had a wonderful time! Alex wasn't too sure about the cake at first but after a while, he LOVED digging into it. I think the icing was his favorite!
