Mama and her baby girl!

Charleston Trip

We did it! We actually went on a trip with no kids and no RV! We of course took the long route. We started in Macon went to my dad's shop in Gray and then drove to milledgeville, Augusta, Statesboro and then Charleston. Not sure how that happened but it did! Ha ha another famous long cut! We had a great time, the in we stayed at was the Eliot House and it was super cool. Breakfast delivered to the room, wine in cheese in the court yard in the afternoon and free bike use. We went to see Wilco in North Charleston on Thursday night it was Awesome nice pplace and a cool Band Bon Iver opened for them. Then all day Friday we rode all over Charleston with our bikes we went to the market and Fleets Landing for lunch. That is Brad with his beloved 'Room-a-Rang' he found at the market and me with my beloved bloody mary trying to fight off the after affects of the concert. We had a great time on the bikes and got to see a lot more of Charleston in a short time than we would have on foot. The next morning we packed and set off for one last jaunt to the farmers market where we bought shrimp some cool blue potatoes and the best corn we've had all summer. We bought a couple things for the grand parents who were back in Macon spoiling our kids rotten and a crepe to go that was the bomb! It was an awesome trip, gotta get home to the kids though!

Wiley's Birthday - Better late than never!

Well we finally had my sweet baby's first birthday! So much fun at Aunt T and uncle Tommys house! We had tons of crunchy Taquitos and tostadas with Tinga thanks to help from Ignacia! Everything was delicious and then of course Bubby came through with the cutest teddy bear cake ever and tons of extra cupcakes. No one wanted to share those and I am pretty sure they were stashing them all about trying not to let anyone get a hand on them. Delicious, they were worth the calories even with the crumbs falling all over our swim suits! Wiley got his first coyote (it was inevitable) and he LOVED it! Ha wouldn't you know it! All the kids had fun and at the end of the party "Munner" spun Clara out on the 4-wheeler - Look out!

Happy Birthday Wiley Waffles!

Packy watching the calories with a fruit plate and Eliza in the midst of her princess water spinning.
