Happy Hump Day

Maddie reminds us all that silliness gets us through the work/school week.

We decided to upgrade since Maddie spends so much time with us. She is sleeping soundly so a good choice.

A growing boy

Spencer weighed 23.5 lbs and was 35" tall at his first year checkup yesterday.  Spencer makes lots of sounds (mimics the cats with a great meow), says momma, dada, bye, papa, but hasn't yet mastered mimi.

A beautiful day in Beaufort

Work, but took a few minutes for pictures before returning to Charleston.

Tuesday in Columbia

Or, rather, in the Atrium Building. Glad to be back home tonight.

Happy Easter

Rainy, windy and cool. Aunt Charlotte may not have gotten a basket this year, but the Easter Bunny left a chocolate expecially for her!

Rio 2 | "I Will Survive" Multi-Language Trailer | 20th Century Fox

I do not like cartoons and avoid these movies as much as possible. Carrie took Maddie to see this one today. Carrie's review: pretty good for a cartoon. Maddie's review: You know, it was number 2. I already saw Rio.

Windy Wednesday

A little chilly today so a visit to Mimi's office then playing school this evening.

Happy 8th Birthday, Maddie

I am between 2 and 3 in this picture.
I am officially an old lady this birthday as my early pictures, per my kids, are not in color.
