Vacation

The first week of August afforded us the opportunity to travel again to Surfside Beach, SC to stay for a week at our friends Tommy & Tracy Edwards' beach house.  Aunt Leslie joined us like she did last year and we had a wonderful time!  Jane just loved the beach and ocean and Luke handled himself very well, minus getting sick the last 2 days we were there.  It is such a special place for us and we are so thankful to the Edwards for the generosity, and for allowing us to create such fun memories!

Jane eating corn on the cob for the 1st time and loving it!

Aunt Leslie allowed Jane to play in the rain and puddles and she was thrilled.  That's what aunts are for....

Our gracious hosts with the kiddos

I'm not even sure what to say about this picture.  This guy is only 7 months old in this picture!!

Somehow this picture was relocated to the middle instead of the beginning where it was initially, but this was taken at my parent's house before we took off for the middle of the night driving.  Jane, in usual form, telling someone what to do.

Evan and I enjoyed a date night while on vacation and it was great.  Fresh seafood caught that day!

Although a bit blurry, I love this picture of him and I.

We rented bikes for a couple of days and they were a big hit with the kids.

The tormenting ('loving" according to her) truly started on vacation and really hasn't let up.

I still think Luke resembles my dad a lot, especially in pictures like this....

We got some quality time with Calli at the beach, and also on the way home.  This one was taken on her birthday!
