HILTON HEAD

We just returned from a beach vacation with my family. We had a blast!! The weather was perfect all week. We loved our house and being able to be all together! Our sweet niece, Skylar, is such a joy! (even when she's sick) Savannah is precious, so strong and sooo vocal!

James and I loved every second of our daughter's experience! Caroline really took to the beach. She said it was "huge!" She made everyone "star cookies" in the sand, jumped over the waves and became more fearless as the week went on.

FREEZE

Big Girl!"You can't catch ME!"

Always Daddy's Girl!
Mother's Day
The entirely too twisted tangled knot first thing in the morning!

Well, Caroline has been 2 for a few months and life is constantly hilarious! Not a day goes by that she doesn't absolutely crack me up or shock me in some way. Today, she told me again that she is a "genius." She also said that her bed was going to turn into the beach during her nap and that she might need some sun"scream."

Her little brain works so quickly. She can hardly get her thoughts all out. She is learning to spell many words, having mastered her own name first! And recognizing all of her letters, thanks to Dr. Seuss's ABC's. Caroline LOVES puzzles, especially princess ones. She LOVES her books, her Disney friends and MUSIC! Boy, I'll have to brag, the girl has got rhythm. My favorite part of bath night is getting her out of the tub and watching her dance with her daddy.

Pure bliss.

I consider myself the luckiest woman in the world to love James and Caroline!

Don't get me wrong, she is 2! Caroline knows how to whine, runs from the Big Potty, and tests her boundaries. I say, bring it on! I'm already looking forward to whatever tomorrow brings. I do know that in the morning when I go to get her out of her bed, she will tell me how she is "sooo comfortable" and ask me to get in and snuggle with her. Of course, I will climb right in!

If I could just freeze time....

Springtime

What a gorgeous day to be out and about town! Market Square was lively, filled with Farmer's Market stands, Bluegrass banjo players and mommas with strollers. Thanks to Kelli for inviting us! We enjoyed a fabulous Jazz Concert, which Caroline seemed to think was all in her honor. Bella, Brody and Caroline danced the hour away. Music, ice cream and a great time with friends, the perfect Wednesday afternoon!

We got together with the Sharpes and Holberts the other day. Caroline loved playing with Reece!
