The Sabatical is Over.....

Sorry all, I have been very slack! I am back to the work grind and have not been very good about posting. Never fear, I have been collecting pictures over the last few weeks for my future posts to the blog. See the new posts below and all the fun stuff going on with Miss Audrey!

What a busy day!

Another stop on our day Saturday was a visit to see Mama Capitan. Audrey just loves seeing Mama. She is even repeating the word, "Mama". The two of them enjoy being with each other....as is evident from the pictures. Mama will be 91 years old on Wednesday, October 28th!

Fall is a fun time on Daniel Island

Daniel Island is such a wonderful place to live. The activities are abundant. One of the annual events this time of year is the Pumpkin Walk and Drum Circle. We walked to Barfield Park for the event. It was awesome! Tons of pumpkins carved in all kinds of designs. We strolled through the woods (Audrey on Daddy's shoulders) and listened to the drum beat. It was so much fun!

Fall is here.....

Fall has finally arrived! It is Mommy's favorite season....can you imagine why?

The weather is beautiful and there is so much fun to be had! One of our first fall adventures was to look for the perfect pumpkin. As you can see, Audrey had a great time checking out all the pumpkins. What a precious picture!

Happy 11 Months Miss Audrey!

Well, we are only one month away from 1 year old! 11 months old today! I have said it every month, but it is still true...I can't believe how fast it has gone by! This last month has been exciting in many ways. First, Audrey took her first 3 steps on September 24th....and at the end of this month, she is walking everywhere. She looks like a little weeble wabble. Before long she will be running....we hope that will take a few more weeks!

This month Mommy had to be in Minneapolis for TWO WEEKS! It was very difficult for Mommy to be away, but Audrey and Daddy managed very well. Audrey has always adored Daddy, but these two weeks took her admiration to a new high! Ms. Bess and Daddy had a great time working together to keep Miss Audrey happy and on-schedule. They made a wonderful team.

We are looking forward to celebrating Miss Audrey's first birthday next month!! So exciting!

Celebrating with Meme and Papa

Meme and Papa were down in Charleston for the weekend of Papa's birthday. As always, we had a great time with them! We enjoyed an incredible lunch that Daddy made. Our lunch was topped off with the birthday cake that Uncle John and Audrey made for Papa. Audrey showed Meme her fun with the mixing bowl (see pic).

Meme and Papa, thank you for letting us celebrate with you. We can't wait to see you again!

Baking Papa's Birthday cake!

Uncle John, Meme, and Papa were in Charleston for the weekend of Papa's birthday (also their anniversary, 42 years)

Uncle John made Papa's birthday cake and let Audrey help him! She had so much fun with Uncle John and even got into the baking spirit. We didn't add Audrey as an ingredient in the cake, but she ended up in a mixing bowl....having LOTS of fun! Thank you Uncle John for letting me be a part of it!
