Here Lately

This has been a busy past few weeks for us.  Usually we stick pretty close to home but lately we've been in and out of town some.  Joe and I celebrated our anniversary with a kid-free weekend in Charleston while mom and dad watched the kids.  So nice.  A few weeks later I flew to NYC for a long girls weekend (also very, very nice!).  Then two weeks later Joe and I flew to New Orleans for a wedding he was in (congrats Kyle and Candace!).  We will head to Lake Keowee next week, then things should be back to normal for a while.

In between all that we were lucky enough to have a visit from Meyur!

Here are a few from our NYC trip:

Couldn't resist this place after a late night train ride back into the city from Brooklyn

St. Paul's...the old church at Ground Zero.  Beautiful.

New World Trade Center

Grand Central Station

We saw "Wicked"...awesome, awesome show!

Love, love, love these girls!!!  Can't wait to do it again!

Just some randoms of the kids:

Headed for baths!

One day I will miss these sweet hooded towel-heads after baths :(

Frisky girl after bath time!  She is so silly ;)

Here are a few shots from Kyle and Candace's wedding in Louisiana.  We had a great time!

We taught the kids the proper way to call the dawgs this year.  We are proud.

Ready for Game Day!  

Every girl needs a pink "Go Dawgs" jersey

The day Georgia beat Carolina...ahhhh, sweet victory

This past weekend we took the boys to a friend's land up at the lake to do a little fishing and exploring:

Mattie went right for that fish.  No fear.

Daddy teaching him the proper way to hold a fish.

"Gimme that fish-y"

They wanted to go swimming in the pond....umm, no.

Ohhhh....walkin' down a country road...

We went to visit Grandmama and Grandaddy one afternoon.  Love this shot.  Especially Mattie diggin' for a little gold ;)
