Beach Babies

We decided to take the girls to Isle of Palms today. They had a ball! Sophia was covered in sand and Ella was so busy making "boy friends" that she couldn't get in any trouble. Despite two applications of SPF 50 sunscreen, my babies got a little sunkissed! Mom and I enjoyed an illegal beverage under the umbrella and watched Sophia eat sand covered crackers..yuck. Sophia fell asleep on the way home (about 2 minutes after getting in the car) and Ella didn't fight her pm nap like she normally did. All in all, a great weekend!

Our Bridge Walk

The girls and I decided to get out of Big Daddy's way this weekend and visit the fam in Chas. We had beautiful weather and had a great time. On Saturday,my mom and I took the girls to the new Ravenel Bridge (previously known as the Cooper River Bridge) and walked with every other health nut in Charleston. You walk 1 painful mile up (about 1/2 way across)and 1 mi down. We made it, surprisingly. We then ventured to Juanita Greenburg's and had an iced cold beverage (draft Dos Equis) before headed back to Mt. Pleasant. (The picture of me has some hair or bug blocking part of it. My luck...)

Loving Daddy!

Here are some recent pics of Daddy lovin on his girls!

Big Daddy is 34!

Tripp's birthday was Saturday, so his sweet Mamma came to Columbia to babysit so that we could enjoy a peaceful Carolina game. Hard to say we enjoyed it, but it was nice to get away for awhile. These are some pics of the girls and YaYa in their Carolina gear! Sophia can sport pigtails now. Her hair is out of control right now, so I keep it in pigs.

Singin Bee

Here is Ella singing her own version ( over and over again) of "Oh, Susanna..." Note how she changes her accent in the last line. Hilarious!

Ruby and The Purse

This weekend the girls visited their great-grandparents in Augusta. My Aunt Annie and her husband, Billy, drove down from Tennessee and had presents for the girls. Ella got a new Barbie with beautiful handknitted outfits (hat, dress, purse!) and Sophia got a precious "purse" with giant fake lipstick and keys, etc. She will NOT put it down and its gotten to the point that Ella tries to hide it behind the TV. She has also taken a liking to Ella's naked doll, Ruby, which you can imagine causes a huge problem. So here she is prancing around her favorite things!
