Hilton Head 2008

This is much more my speed! We rented a cabana by the beach, which was the best money invested for $120 a day. It provided beds in the shade with the beach breeze, food, drinks, sand toys, sunscreen AND lavendar scented cold towels!!

HEAVEN!!

We went to Hilton Head in June 08, and we had a blast. Brielle was just learning how to walk and enjoyed building castles in the sand and sipping her juice in the shade. Ethan had fun hanging out with Dad and actually went in the ocean....though he was scared to death of the waves' noise. Big Daddy wouldn't take no for answer. He needs someone as his swim buddy as Mommy will NEVER be!

Brielle loves Japanese too

Like her brother, Brielle also has the taste for Japanese food! She had so much rice and noodles that she reeked of it for days! Not to mention the place was so greasy and hot---look how her hair sticks straight up from the heat! Not a pretty sight, but Brielle was a satisfied baby!

Valentine's Day

Brielle has a wonderful playgroup....called the Wednesday peeps---We took the kids to Salara's where she had her first real taste of chocolate cake. After every bite, she said 'mmmmmm'. Unlike Ethan, she doesn't care if her hands get messy.

Brielle's had ENOUGH

Ooh, I'm on a roll! I figured out how to post pictures quickly. Here is darling Brielle and you can see her cutsie personality coming out! Brie knows what she wants when she wants it! She will let us know when she's finished her food by sticking out and tongue and blowing raspberries. She'll also squeeze her eyes shut and wave her hand in front of her face

Fun in the Tub

Oh, I know I haven't written in a while....I'm not too computer savvy and it's almost 1 AM and I'm just playing around. Hopefully, this will work. Looks like it is....Well, it's been a long time since July...It's now February and Ethan is 3.5 and Brielle is 10.5 months. Time is flying. Ethan and Brielle are quite a pair. He doesn't ignore her anymore but does get quite annoyed when she goes near his stuff, which is quite often. She is such an explorer and will NOT take NO for an answer. And quite the little Drama Queen. Sometimes she screams so loud when Ethan pulls on her that we end up punishing him and then she starts to laugh. So we've started taking her screams with a grain of salt.
They love taking a bath together. Ethan dunks her, but she doesn't seem to mind. Bath time is a time and place where they actually get along.
