This Kid...

The laughs are endless around here with our little goof.  Makes sense to put PJ's on over your clothes during nap time...right? ;) 

Home Sweet Home...

On April 22 we signed about a gazillion pieces of paper and at the end of it we were handed the keys to our new home and we couldn't have been happier! We've had our eye on this place since the fall and the stars aligned and we look forward to all the years to come making this house our "forever" home...

We were able to do a few renovations before we moved in, some hard woods in my office and in the family room, new pendant lights in the kitchen, and some painting.  Always nice to be able to knock some of those things out before the boxes start getting in the way.  

We were also so lucky to have the help of our families to move boxes, unpack boxes, move furniture, donate furniture, entertain Adam, oh and for storing both our stuff and US for the months leading up to our move! :) It really does take a village! 

The unpacking is still a work in progress but the main living areas of the house are, for the most part, moved in, decorated, and feeling like home.  

Looking forward to entertaining here, having lots of play dates in our back yard, and spending the next five months sorting out where the Christmas trees will go! ;) 

Playing Catch Up: Annual Green Coat Tournament

Boy, I just can't seem to get caught up! Guess it's just a sign that we've been keeping busy and while I'm gathering tons of great pictures and memories to blog about, we're just too busy creating blog worthy moments to have time to actually blog them! Will make a concerted effort to get caught up...

Even though I don't get to play in it, the annual Green Coat tournament at our club is one of the highlights of the golf season for me.  I love watching Andy compete and having him talk me through his team's round shot by shot and hole by hole. This year his team was in contention for a little bit on Sunday, and while they didn't win, they did come out on top on a few of the side bets they were in. 

Had to snap a photo of score board, for a little bit Andy's team was leader in Club House! Woot! 

The tournament ended up going to a play off between two of the teams which made for a very exciting Sunday evening with most of the club gathering around the greens watching the action. After three play off holes the tournament was finally won by the team we were cheering for. A past team mate of Andy's made the winning putt garnering huge cheers from the gallery!

With all the golf we watch on tv, it was fun to spend a weekend watching competition in person. Here's to next year and another shot at those green coats for Andy and his team! :) 

Spring Break in Retrospect...Myrtle Beach

After a great visit in Charleston we were ready to hit the beach so what better place to do it than at Ocean Lakes in Myrtle Beach! This was our third time staying at Ocean Lakes and as always it was the perfect spot to enjoy our last days of spring break. 

We had great weather which meant we got lots of beach and pool time in! Adam loved having his toes in the sand again and he wore himself out running to and from the surf. Our beach bum from last summer has returned! 

The pool proved to be a huge success as well.  They have a really fun "Splash Zone" with water guns, water falls, etc. etc. Adam had so much fun and I'll admit, Andy and I got in on the fun as well.  

We enjoyed lots of bike rides, fed the ducks and of course got in a few rounds of mini-golf! 

We also got in a couple dinners with Don & Mae Mae, always the highlight of our visits to Myrtle Beach! 

It was a wonderful spring break filled with lots of great memories! We toasted to the end of our vacation with ice cream - a sweet end to an amazing week with family! 

Spring Break in Retrospect Part II...Charleston

I love Charleston! Seriously, it's one of my favorite places and was so happy to be able to kick off our vacation with a couple days there. The weather was just ok, with much of Sunday hidden by clouds and a little bit of rain, allowing for guilt free viewing of The Masters (yay Adam Scott!) 

When we weren't watching golf we were exploring the campground by foot and by bike. Liddy even got to go for a bike ride to the dog park. She was loving it but mostly I was just fearful of alligators...Nervous Nelly? Yep, that's me! 

We enjoyed a visit to the USS Yorktown. I had toured it before for a work event and actually was back in Charleston the week after our trip for another work event there, ha! Andy and Adam loved it! Of course what's not to love about a huge ship filled with different types of airplanes and helicopters? A little (and not so little) boy's version of heaven I'm sure! 

Of course no trip to Charleston would be complete without a stroll through downtown and the Farmer's Market. After all that walking around we rewarded ourselves with a very tasty lunch on the roof of one of the buildings near the water. 

Next up, Myrtle Beach!
