Beach Bums

We just got back from a fun vacation at the beach. Elizabeth Grace had a blast playing with her cousins, Sydney and Sophie. She especially enjoyed having her daddy pull her around on the kneeboard.

Teeny Weeny Purple Polka Dot Bikini

This is Elizabeth Grace's new outfit of choice. She wants to wear this suit everyday, all day!

Abby's Birthday Party

Eli and Drew













We had lots of fun at Abby's party this morning. The best part was the water slide. At first I thought Eli would be a bit hesitant to climb up, but she got right in there with the rest of the children.

One More Soccer Pic

Miriam took this picture of these adorable babies! Don't you all just love Eli's stance? She's a priss-pot through and through!

Pool date with Ellis and Daniel

We went to the pool this morning with Ellis and Daniel. Daniel is already a natural born swimmer...using no floaties! We're so proud of him.

Ellis looked like an angel in her precious swimmies and ruffled hat. The children had fun splashing around together! We can't wait for lots more trips to the pool with our friends.

More soccer pics

You know my little darling...striking a pose with the soccer ball.

Bend it like Beckham...

Elizabeth Grace is learning her side "taps."

We just finished a fun week at soccer camp. The first day was miserably hot, but then we took the little ones into the gym and it got much better. Here are some pics from our week of soccer.

Our visit to the zoo

We had a fun trip to the zoo while we were visiting my dad. Eli's favorite part was riding the horse named "Gail." I thought she would be a bit timid at first but she hopped right up on the horse and took off. She also enjoyed brushing the baby billy goats. I didn't enjoy it so much...I leaned down to take a picture and the next thing I knew one of the goats was trying to eat my shirt. Eli also enjoyed the carousel. She had to ride on a tiger (I'm assuming she figured it was a Clemson tiger).

Road trip!

We visited Papi at his office.



Eli loved playing the piano with Papi.

We went all the way to Indiana to see my younger sister, Gabi, graduate from high school. We got to my dad's house late Wednesday afternoon and went swimming. Eli loved the pool. On Friday we took the girls to the zoo and had so much fun there. Then Friday night, Gabi had a luau to celebrate. It was lots of fun, too. I think Eli's favorite part of the trip was dancing for everyone. My brother Dominick would play the piano and she would perform. She was adorable!

The last picture is of Eli and Gabi at the luau.
