Happy 2nd Birthday Tad!


















Tad got to celebrate his birthday and birthday week at Hilton Head with his parents, his Aunt Megan and Uncle Travis, and his cousins Cooper, Brady, and Henry.  They were kind enough to invite us over for some yummy lunch and cake on Sunday the 22nd to celebrate birthday #2 with the big guy!  Daddy was on call, but Grammy was in town so we enjoyed a lovely beach day and birthday fun!
Happy Graduation Elsie!

Good bye to Ms. Tracy!




So we enjoyed what we hope is the first of many graduations for Miss Elsie--She graduated from the PreK program at the Montessori Academy of Savannah so she can enroll in the PreK program at Jacob G. Smith, the local public elementary just a block away, for the fall.  Our time at Ms. Mary's school was really special and we'll miss the teachers--all of whom Elsie has really loved dearly.  She'll return for three weeks of camp this summer and Kit will be back, but it was the end of an era for our big girl.  Her program was a lovely way to celebrate the commencement.

A Great Family Weekend!






We were thrilled to have the Paces come to town for Memorial Day and an All-American family weekend.  They arrived on Saturday after Grammy left bringing a yummy Charleston lunch with Ms. Hamby's sandwiches and Mrs. Pope's pasta salad.  After storms threatened, we played in the backyard and cooked out our new favorite tacos--it may have been a late night for the boys.  Sunday morning we had a rousing bowling tournament at our local lanes.  The big boys and little kids napped that afternoon while Emma, Elsie, Ashley, and I hit the pool.  A Sand Gnats game was the perfect way to complete the weekend, and everyone was sad to head out today :(  Soon though... very soon....
Happy Memorial Day!
