Boating with friends

Jay & Michelle invited us out on their boat and we are so glad we finally got to go out with them. It was one of the best days we have had in a long time. It was such a beautiful day.
Nothing like a little beer and boating to take away lifes little stresses. :)



It was a beautiful day on the water

We tried to get her to pour water on Daddy - she thought that was funny

Worst Blogger Ever!

Well, it's almost been a month and apparently this is looking like a monthly blog!! I'll try to do better over the next few weeks before we leave for our trip (sorry Nana!). :-)

Below are pictures from our DC trip.


Here is the birthday girl ready to get going on the DC tour

It was a beautiful day to fly a kite and Avery thought all the kites were pretty neat.
This picture shows our next journey - up to the Lincoln memorial.

Photos from our trip in Savannah

These next few pictures are the view from our hotel room in Savannah.
It was so beautiful in the early AM.
We were a little worried about our room being loud at night because it was directly above the Savannah bar scene - I believe the name of the bar was 'Wet Willies' - fortunately it wasn't loud, but the winds shifted and we had a nice paper mill aroma.








We walked around town after lunch and the weather was beautiful. A front had just come through and it was cool and windy.

Finally an update!

I can't believe it's been so long since I have updated. January was a blur!

Tomorrow is Avery's birthday. It's hard to believe our little Doosie will be 3.

We're currently driving up to MD for our Dr. Appt. (we're thinking of trying to add one more child to the family) We're going up with our friends Jay and Michelle - they're going to try this clinic as well. We decided we would make a mini vacation out of the trip and stop along the way up. Last night we stayed in Savannah and had a great time walking around and eating at yummy resturants.



Here we are in front of the Forsythe fountain.

I'll be adding more pictures soon - it takes some time to upload them in the car...
