Picking Strawberries!

We went to pick strawberries today with some friends, Riley and Reagan!

Grammie's visit!

We had a lot of fun with Grammie while she was in town! She came to visit one more time before we leave Charleston, and Spring is always such a beautiful time to come! It was so great having her here because the girls really got to spend a lot of time playing and cuddling with her. We went to Columbia to the zoo one day, and it was Elizabeth's first time to a zoo (not counting Animal Kingdom)! She was very excited!!

She loved feeding the giraffes!

playing Candyland for the 100th time ;-)

Grammie taking pictures of Carley!!

We went to see the Blue Angels perform!! It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun!

Carley even had fun :)

Elizabeth was cheering them on "Go Airplanes, Go Airplanes". It was so cute!

A mini Staycation in Charleston!

Oh the charm of Charleston!!! This is such a beautiful city and we are going to be very sad to say goodbye!!! Nathan and I spent a day around Charleston and stayed that evening at the Two Meeting Street Inn on the Battery. It was perfect!!!

The Battery

We took a tall ship around the harbor to see Charleston!!

you can see the original Tiffany windows that were crafted and installed by Mr. Tiffany himself!

at the Battery doing our own little walking tour of Charleston. We had been down there so many times in the last 4 years, but never really got to walk the small streets! Just beautiful and charming!!!

The waterfront

Beautiful homes on the Battery!!!

old brick streets

A good example of the privacy doors to the porches from the old days!

"Four corners of law" This is the intersection of Broad and Meeting street in downtown. It was named this because on each corner represents a different branch of law: city (City Hall), state (County Courthouse), federal (U.S. Courthouse and Post Office), and God's law (St. Michael's Episcopal Church).

First Beach Trip and Azalea Park

The first hint of warm weather and you think you can go to the beach around here....humm...it was not that warm at the beach! We went anyway!! It was Carley's first trip to the beach, and it was pretty windy and chilly! It didn't stop Elizabeth from getting soaking wet and having chills the whole time...crazy!!

We went to our friends beach house, Elizabeth will really miss Tressa and Kelly!!

The beautiful Azalea Park in Summerville!!

Then we met up with some of our good friends that were in town for a visit at the Azalea Park in Summerville! The azaleas were in full bloom, and it was so beautiful!!

Elizabeth is playing hide and seek with her friends!!

They really are this sweet to each other!!!

7 months

Carley turns 7 months old on April 23rd!! She is growing so fast! She only weighs 15lbs 4oz, but you wouldn't know by looking at her :) We were thinking she was going to be off the charts, but she is apparently pretty petite for her age. She is such a happy baby too!! Look at these ridiculous and adorable outfits Grammie got her!!!

my little cowgirl!!

I get this face a lot :) I am just waiting for the "uh oh" to start!!
