Knoxville 3/16-3/22/10

Emilia and I went to Knoxville for a week to help out after Aunt Catrina had knee surgery. We learned that we - meaning me - are glad that Emilia is an only child right now. We really enjoyed the week but wow four kids plus Emilia is a lot of work and laundry:) Maddox laughed for the first time while we were there and it was such a sweet sound. Uncle Steve put up a swing for Emilia on their swing set and she loved swinging. We went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Reegan's 9th birthday. Emilia loves Chuck E. We are looking forward to seeing them again this week as they travel through for Spring Break.

First CofC Baseball Game

Brian helped cook for the College of Charleston and Alabama baseball teams after the second of three games they played during the first weekend of March. Emilia and I went to help cheer the Cougars on. They did not win the game but we had the best time. Emilia helped load the water in coolers for the players. She ate her new favorite snack - popcorn. She could not get enough of riding what she calls a tractor. Some of the players and coaches even signed a baseball for her. It was a great first CofC baseball game for Emilia. We can't wait to take her to more.

Emilia Playing Golf





Brian is already preparing Emilia to be a golf star. She has her on little plastic set but prefers to use the real thing much more.

Disney Live

Emilia and I went to Disney Live Rockin' Road Show at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. She got to see some of her favorites - Mickey & "Rella." We had a fun time and she got her first Mickey ears! I have to say that I think the popcorn might have been her favorite part. As soon as it was all gone, she was ready to leave. She was asleep in my arms before we left the building. Dancing with Mickey must have worn her out.

NC Weekend Away

NC Weekend

Brian, Emilia & I went to NC for a weekend away in February. It was so nice to get to spend some time together. We really need to do this more often.

Believe It or Not

So believe it or not, we actually had snow in Charleston. It has been 20 years since we have seen anything like this. We had a wonderful time playing in it.
