Moms and more

A little late, but here's a few smiles from our Mother's Day!
 
I am blessed with both a wonderful mother
and my own precious little babies!
 
Mommy's boys!

My lovely Mom and her 3 :)

A D O R A B L E ! !
  
I am having so much fun dressing a girl!





 

She loves to stand up on her feet!
 
 
We were thrilled to host our first family meal
in our new home on Mother's Day!
 
Mothers and Daughters
 
 
Casey and I attended a USC Alumni event recently
that was held at the USC School of Medicine, Greenville.
 
The photographer(s) got a couple of cute pics of
Elizabeth all decked out in gamecock gear!
 
One of the speakers dubbed her the youngest Gamecock in the room :)
 
 
Garnet and Black!!!

Proud Daddy

* serious face *
 
 
The next few weeks are very busy
with Michael and Christopher's birthdays, VBS,
our anniversary, visitors at our house, and more!
 
Just a few more boxes, but months of projects ahead of us!

After the move...

Here's an update in pictures....
 
After the Move
 
We had a few chilly weeks...
Luckily I packed a box with some winter clothes!
 
Sweet brothers!
 

She knows she's cute.
 

She has the STRANGEST sleeping positions!
 
 
We love taking walks around our neighborhood!
This is the neighborhood's little lake access...
the boys were hoping to feed some ducks :)

Sister watching over the boys in the background....

I felt SO, SO happy that night!

Bread!  Bread!  Bread!

The kids seemed happy, too  :)

Biking by the lake
 
 
Elizabeth has her OWN room and her OWN crib!

Chillin' in the crib for the first time!
 
 
I frequently find Elizabeth surrounded by animals.
I wonder how that happens?? 

Michael's animal friends


Check out the baby fat rolls!

 
Our little chunky monkey!
 
 
Elizabeth's superheroes :)
 

Two fun little boys!!!!!

 
My niece, little Ava, turned 1 year old!

Me and Ava ------------ Aunt Allie and Elizabeth


Michael loves Mrs. Jenny and Mr. B

I think she enjoyed her birthday cake!

Our growing families!!!!

 
 
Michael is a VERY sweet brother :)



I have a video of Casey making Elizabeth giggle
and she just LOVES to watch it!

Technology far too early :)


Aren't they adorable?????
 
Christopher, Elizabeth, Michael
 
 
I can't believe how big she's getting!


I love this old fashioned dress
 
 
 

Mommy love!


My mom's co-worker made this adorable onesie for Elizabeth!

All smiles yesterday morning!

 
One of Elizabeth's favorite places to play...


The Exercauser
 
 
Enjoying a beautiful, beautiful morning!



Yet another walk around the neighborhood...
but Michael tuckered out fast this time, so it was short!
 
 
I cannot even put in words how happy we are!
 
Although our days are still a little chaotic
unpacking and settling in
(seriously - our garage has one walking path),
it's easier to look past that stuff when we're together!

Sleeping like a Queen

 
Check out Elizabeth sleeping like a QUEEN....
 
 
 
And through all sorts of brotherly noise!
 

 
I am hoping we can get settled into a good routine soon,
and we can get back to Elizabeth's 8 hour nights of sleep.
 
Or maybe she's having another growth spurt...
but I am so, so tired this week!
 
Never-the-less,
I am enjoying these moments:

Ice cream on the deck

Sweet baby smiles and GIGGLES!


Coming up on our 8th wedding anniversary!
 
 
 
I'm taking these 2 crazies and Elizabeth to Columbia this week!
I'm playing in a wedding, seeing a friend direct a musical,
taking Elizabeth to her 4 month check-up,
tying up a few loose ends,
and visiting lots of family and friends.
 
Thank you to everyone who is helping me make our visit happen!

I miss blogging!

I miss blogging!

But I have been very busy lately for a variety of reasons -

 Lots of boxes to unpack and put away (and still more in the storage unit)
Lots of cleaning around the house to do
Lots of computer issues prohibiting productivity of any sort
 Lots of family and friends nearby to visit
 Lots of churches to visit
 Lots of family-finally-back-together-time
 
 
But I just HAD to take a minute to say my daughter is beautiful!


3.5 months old

Big smiles!

Blooming personality!


I hope I can blog more soon for those of you
who love to see pictures of the boys, too :)
