July 2012 Overview

Well, I'm glad to see that nothing has improved Blogger's photo uploading capabilities in the six months I've taken off. 

I still squeezed in a little craft time and made a wreath with my girl for our new house. Little did I know it'd be Thanksgiving before we moved in!

 We tried to find a yogurt place that we liked as much as in Greenville. YogenFruz is NOT it.
 Addie Kate enjoyed sparklers for the first time on the 4th. She loved them. I tried not to hyperventilate. (And doesn't everyone do sparklers after their baths?)



 Drew proceeded to be the happiest kid ever.



 And the messiest.



 Addie Kate tried wearing ponytails. We are still not there. She has too many layers and curlies. Mommy prefers the bow anyway.
We spent the day with my precious friend Jenny and her three boys, before going to the beach. I love this picture of our babies, minus Drew. They are definitely some of the cutest kids I know! I love that AK is rubbing her ear here. I wonder when she'll stop that!


Addie Kate apparently had a blast with Jenny's boys, because here she is 5 minutes after leaving their house. 

 Then we headed to our Edisto. We do love this place. I have better pictures on our big camera, but these capture our daily fun. Snoozing at the beach is so much better. And with your behind in the air.
 David found a fish measurement guide, and tried Drew out.





 Hauling this baby pool down to the beach was intended for Drew. He wasn't a huge fan, but AK was.





 Hopefully next year Drew will love it.

Addie Kate loved the bubble baths in the jetted tub. 




 We saw them section off to start the path for a nest of loggerheads and we checked each night to see the precious babies hatch. It didn't happen though while we were there. I was SO sad!
 More beach snoozing... we'd try to get a good nap in Drew before heading down to the water. I cannot get enough of that tush and those tootsies!
 My little beach diva - all slicked down and her sunglasses on her head like Mommy!
 These precious baby washed ashore. We called the seaturtle rescue volunteers and he put it back in the ocean. We hope he made it!
 Addie Kate had many pre-dinner snoozes like this:
 Drew all but mastered his walking while at the beach. I don't think he liked the tile floor or the sand, and kind of just figured he had to walk!

 Addie Kate had a glow bracelet treasure hunt one night. She loved it!




 After our week at Edisto, we drove up to Myrtle to spend a day with Elliott, Laurie, Aiden, and Amelia. We had a great beach day with them and a great dinner that night.

 (Clearly this was one of Mommy's favorite dresses on AK this year!)




We stayed at the Embassy, so they all came over for breakfast the next morning before we headed back home to reality. Aiden was insistent on holding Drew! Two of the most beautiful blonde-haired boys I've ever seen!
