A Priceless Visit

I hesitate to blog about this, because we had so much fun with Auntie Snags and Frasier visiting, its going to make me very sad that they don't live closer!! But I'll try my best to keep it spunky and will certainly enjoy reviewing these memories.

Fray is finally old enough to join our routine Starbucks/pedicure pampering! And what a great job she did picking out a sparkly blue color...



Rhombus, Snags, and I tried Wine & Design together and successfully painted Rainbow Row in Charleston (although I had no wine to help my design and could have benefited from better posture apparently.)



Snags gave a wonderful reading at Duke University while the cousins played. As usual when it comes to cousins, Van is the instigator. He "creeped" into cousin Frasier's room while she was napping to wake her up to play monster puppets. So sneaky!
 

 
Jeanie missed cousin Zephyr but enjoyed her fair share of cake at Frasier's 4 year old birthday party!

My gift to Fray: a hand-made blankety blank

 

Our azaleas are in bloom:

And we have plenty to keep busy:


but I agree with Van--on the way to school this morning he said: "I really miss Frasier."

We love you!

Come back soon.

Spring Break

It took a full week to recouperate from our spring "break"...having both kids at home with me during the sleepiest week of pregnancy yet was quite a challenge. Note to self: next year--make concrete plans for spring break!

Many popsicles devoured, learning how to share toys without tears, long walks, afternoons in the park, and a fun trip to Three Bears Acres. I enjoyed our time together.  Here are some photos of our break! (And now that he's finally back in school, I am missing my little buddy Van!)
