Summa" Summa' Summa' time

Fun times in the pool and bath with his girlfriend, Caroline



First Chic-Fli-A breakfast....and he has discovered how wonderful "sauce" is and loves to dip everything!




After sprinkler time with Dada

loves him some doodles

and really any form of icee/icecream

My friend Lauren and I taught 5yr old class at our church's VBS....and Ryder and Caroline cried for eachother everyday when we had to part....

McWane center...trying to stay cool in this crazy hot weather!

Memorial Day at the Beach

The summer is our "slow-time" for the business so we've been able to take some more time off than usual-we got to head to the beach for 5 days over Memorial Day....then we're heading back for 10 days over the 4th....this beach bumb is thankful for a free place to stay and we take every chance we get to make it down there!

Ryder absolutely loved it....

22 Months

I can't believe my little monkey is getting so big now...almost 2...where does the time go?!!!!

Lately we have....

**Finished up our last day of MDO at Briarwood for the year! He absolutely loved it....as did I!

** He is going to St. Stephens Episcopal for their summer program so I can still work 2 days a week thru the summer. We can actually walk there from our house so I'm super excited about it.

**After a week of calling every color "green" he now will say almost every color.....it's pretty cute!

** I take him up to Ashley Mac's a few days a week, usually just to stop by and check on things...well, I wanted to teach him how to say it so he started saying it and then decided to change the name to "Momma Mac's"....it cracked me up the first time he did it! I guess that does make sense!

Lately....

....I have been nauseous 24 hrs a day so I've been terrible at updating the blog! I forgot how much I hate being pregnant....good thing I can look at Ryder to be reminded it is worth it(: Anyways, here's an attempt to catch up...

One of my best friends from college just got married a few weekends ago in Seaside. It was such a wonderful weekend. Ryder got to be the ring bearer and thankfully made it down the aisle with me (then went to sit with Andy for the rest of the ceremony). It was also an extra treat that about 7 of my besties from college got to come so it was a little mini-reunion for us. We still are going on trips once a year together but this little gathering might have to do for a while because several of us are expecting in the fall. Sorry, lots of pics below!!!

Ryder's Easter Surprise....

Yep, Lord willing, November 30th Ryder will become a big brother! I am 10 weeks now- we are beyond thankful for this new little life. We did have to do fertility treatments again, but thankfully the doctors were agressive and didn't make me re-test for things etc and just put me on the medicine I got pregnant with Ryder on...so we did 8 days of shots and one IUI (artificial insemination) and it worked the first time! Much easier than with Ryder! We are thrilled and praying for a healthy pregnancy!

Adoption T-shirts!!!!!

Some of our dear friends are in the process of adopting and we could not be more excited! They created these t-shirts to raise a little money, but mostly just to raise support and awareness of the needs of orphans around the world.

The T-Shirts come in adult and toddler sizes. They will be more of a charcoal grey than the pictures.
