so, awhile back, i posted about winning a sweet giveaway. well, after a bit of craziness*, the cool dress has arrived… and anna looks really cute in it. *something happened in the shipment, and it never came. i waited a week or so, then emailed the giver-awayer and she promptly made and sent out another.

anna
lately…
here’s my feeble attempt to make up for a lack of updates lately… we celebrated paw paw’s (derek’s grampa’s) 93rd birthday this weekend… kids love cupcakes. since it’s 200 degrees everyday, we’ve had to hit the park early early early in the morning. and isaac can get his fill of jumping off elevated surfaces. the […]
july the fourth
as per our usual, we hosted a bit of a fourth of july get together for some of our pals, before the fireworks lit up our little town… martha and bud (sam, jr.)… sam, sr. is in the armed forces and is currently overseas. so, really, this party was for him. 🙂 the slip ‘n […]
beach miscellany.
i have one last group of pictures that i haven’t been able to categorize into their own posts. pics from around the condo, and then some various activities. playing with isaac’s shell (or shards of shell) collection, while he’s gone. hanging out, early in the morning, watching tv. playing with yo gabba gabba friends. (anna […]
more (lots more) beach…
the rest of our trip was quite sunny. and we went to the beach a lot. a lot lot. i’m not even going to bother to caption these pics.

alligator mania. and other rainy day activities.
on one of the rainy days, we drove to myrtle beach (we were technically in north myrtle), and tried to go to a children’s museum, since we have the reciprocal (free) membership. apparently a lot of other folks had this idea too and there was a 30 minute wait because they were at capacity. and […]
meeting myrtle beach.
if you are my facebook friend, then you are no doubt aware that we’ve been at the beach for the last week. just in case you’re not, i’ll be posting some pics and stories here. 🙂 on sunday, we woke up. loaded up. and hit the road for myrtle beach. the ride seemed incredibly long. […]
the week in review…
we had a pretty uneventful week this week. we started off with memorial day, as did the rest of the country, i suppose. derek made a bucket of guacamole and we headed over to our pals the p-salls for a little cookout. the buddies. derek took this picture of his burger, and thanks to apple’s […]
tanglewood play day.
on saturday, we decided to get out and do something outdoors. as a family. wanting to avoid any memorial day crowds, or spend a lot of (any) money, we decided to stay rather low key. so, we headed over to tanglewood park. first, we went to the bigger playground, since we had just been to […]
