Who is the cutest 18 month old? Answer:

Love

Uncle Benji and Aunt Jamie

We were so lucky to have Benji and Jamie visit us for the first time at HHI. They generously devoted their vacation to entertaining their nieces and helping us celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We're looking forwarding to having them back next year!

Beach Week(s)

So we headed to Hilton Head for just over two weeks beginning June 5th (hence, the blog negligence). We enjoyed day trips from Kelly, Mark, and the boys for Kelly's birthday and at another point from the Belzers for beach and World Cup fun. I'll have to upload some photos from the night the Remlers boated over from Savannah for dinner at the Salty Dog for Nancy's birthday. And of course, we had our long-awaited visit from the Bachabels. Here you see some nice shots of Elsie and Alice enjoying D's super smoothie snack and also a shot of Chris reading to the girls--he knows lots about literature! It flew by so fast....

Auntie Mere says "Accessorize!"

Just before Memorial Day, the girls were thrilled to have Aunt Meredith visit for a week to teach them the value of nail polish and accessories. Daddy was thrilled to have his sister visit and hook him up with All Access Passes to the G Love show. I'd call that a win-win!

Gardening

D and his Girls: No one gets them giggling like Daddy!

Getting in on the Action




It is hard to believe that Kit will be starting school when she turns two in January. Good thing Elsie will be there for the spring to show her the ropes....but by the looks of it last Friday, K looks like she'll fit right in!

And look at this beautiful dress GranAnn gave Kit for Christmas--how cute is our girl?

Recess!

Elsie and Camille

This will be the last time Elsie and Camille will be in the same class, sadly. Camille will go to big girl pre-K at the local public school since her birthday is before the September 1st cut off. But we anticipate many fun playdates in the future!

Special Guests

Nonie and Kit came to celebrate the graduate! Aren't the flowers Nonie gave Elsie beautiful?

The Teachers

Here are photos of Elsie with her teacher Miss Mary--the lead teacher and owner of the school--as well as the three year old teacher Miss Carey. They were very sweet with her!
