August and Everything After

Besides being a great Counting Crows album, we have a lot to share from the last days of summer. Enjoy!

Eric had a great time at Summer Camp - here, he shows off his binoculars and safari hat
He also had a great time at the Irish Festival with Nana and Papa Boo

We had the thrill of being able to see a helicopter up close and E even got to sit in it!
The police motorcycle was also extremely cool!
We went raspberry picking, which has become an annual summer tradition

Notice you can hardly see any raspberries in the bucket - they were all in E's belly

After going to the beach, we got to spend the evening with Grandma and Grandpa, and celebrated Grandma and Tim's birthdays!
Uncle Dave got to read to Eric before he went to bed
Then we went home and celebrated Tim's birthday again!

It's hard to believe, but Eric is already back to school. In his second year of preschool, he is already doing wonderfully! He loves his teachers and is having a lot of fun!

And perhaps our biggest news of the summer, is that Eric is going to be a big brother! He is very excited and keeps telling us that he's going to show the baby this and that. It's very cute. Due date is March 18 - please say prayers that this baby will decide to stay put until then!!

Hilton Head 2010

I realize I'm late in posting this but, here are some of the best photos from our beach trip this year. We went to Hilton Head and it was wonderful, as always!

Eric and Daddy on their way to the beach

Catchin' some rays

Spending a rainy day morning at The Sandbox

Bet you didn't know Eric already has his pilot's license??

This year, I won the coveted Final Four Lighthouse Award! Read it and weep, Tim!
At the marina after dinner

In Harbourtown...see the lighthouse?

Now, here's Eric with Heather, Nana and Tim at the top! He climbed ALL of the stairs himself!
You can see how proud of himself he was after he got back down!

WEEEEEE!

I think our photographer said something about a chicken (!?)

Hooray for the beach!
