So, we’ve been home a week and what a week it has been.  Last Saturday we gathered together to see Andy get baptized.  I’m not sure what, if anything, he got out of the event – but we are hopeful!!  The younger kids are still punishing Tom & I for being gone a week.  They are all over the place with their emotions and we’re fighting old battles over what’s o.k. and what’s not.  Such is the life of kids with insecure attachment as babies & toddlers.  We talked about how their baby cousins are learning to trust their parents by playing “peek-a-boo”, having their parents leave the room for a short while, spending time with a babysitter, etc.  Then we talked about how they are having to learn these things as older kids, but that they can learn in their hearts that we will always come...

Well the other one had so many issues that I couldn’t stop myself from making another one.  The layout is based heavily on the web monkey website http://www.webmonkey.com/ Anyways, i know that my website has been down a lot lately, well i will be switching hosting within the next 48 hours, so by then it should be stable (for those of you who are wondering). Well enjoy the amazing designs by spencer (yeah right), and comment what you think.  Read More →

So, we’re on day five here in Hilton Head.  Yesterday Tom and I actually went swimming in the ocean (for some reason, no one gets in the ocean.  Maybe sharks?  Anyway, we did it and nothing happened, so either everyone is super cautious or people just don’t like the ocean).  Here are some pictures of the view. Last night we went to dinner at the “Jazz Corner”.  The food was way overpriced and sort of mediocre, but the music was great.  Plus, we were sitting about a table away from the performers, so we got a great view of the actually playing – wow, they were impressive.  They played a mix of contemporary, blues, and traditional jazz.  My favorite number was “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck.  Awesome!  Then Tom watched the Jazz game (started at 10:30 pm) and was so disappointed by their loss...

So, we’re here in gorgeous South Carolina on Hilton Head Island.  It is so beautiful.  We are staying at the Marriot Grande Ocean Resort (see Marriot Grand Ocean Resort for the home page).  We’ve been sleeping in, walking on the beach, eating great food, and just enjoying being here.  I promise to upload some pictures soon. P.S. I played around with the layout to try and fix the overlap.  Did it work for you?  Let me know.  Read More →
