Trip to Destin

Here are some pictures of our recent trip to Destin, Fl. We we were so excited to be able to meet up with friends and spend a few days vacationing this past month. We spent our days either on the beach, in the pool, or boating. Pretty much in the water alot of the time. It was so beautiful and the water was very refreshing. The guys did go deep sea fishing one day and had a blast doing that.They were worn out afterwards but I think they would have done it again the next day if they could have.
Tucker and Chandler were teething while we were there but they were great troopers.
When we got home I realized that Tucker had 4 back teeth coming in. No wonder he was a bit fussy. I can't believe I missed that! I mean I knew he was teething but I couldn't ever tell how many teeth were coming in so when I was able to get a good look and saw 4 I was shocked!

So we had a wonderful time and we can't wait to go back.

The first set of pictures are of us at the pool, beach, and on the boat!

Later that night after dinner some sweet friends drove in to Destin just to visit with us for a few hours and then drove back home.... Can you guess who?
Tim and Laurie Howard-Thanks you guys for driving in to see us and visit. It was great seeing you!We hope to see you again real soon.

Oh, and these pictures were taken at around 1:00 in the morning , so you will have to excuse the way we might look. 

Here is our view from the condo and the main living room space. You can see Tucker by the small round table. He was pretty happy to be out of his car-seat after being in it for about 7 hours.
What was also really neat was the Lettow's, Broome's and us were all able to stay in the same condo. Which made it alot more fun b/c we got to spend so much more time together.

After I upload more picture I will share some more from our trip but for now that's it!

~A Visit From My Sister~

Wow! It has now been over 1 1/2 months since I last posted on either of my blogs. I told you thing were about to get crazy busy... but I didn't know it had already been 1 1/2 months!

Since we moved to Savannah we have had some (friends and family) stay with us in our home. 

My sister came for 5 days with her two boys a few weeks ago. We had alot of fun visiting, swimming, talking, eating, and letting the boys play while she was here. I was sad to see her go but I know she was ready to be back home with her hubby who didn't get to make that trip with her.

Then last week one of my friends came with her little boy to visit us for a couple of days.We both decided that next time she has to stay longer but I will honestly take any length of visit we get!! 

As for what is going on with us right now...........well........

 

1.) Ethan is playing soccer-I'll post a picture of him soon 

 2.) Tucker is saying some words--Sometimes it all sounds the same but we are making progress. 

3.) Tucker no longer drinks from a bottle.. Which was a huge milestone...

4.) I am the new children's director at our church

Which I am super excited about!! I can not wait for the new Sunday school year to start... Pray for us! It starts this Sunday! 

So since my friend left last Wednesday I have been preparing for a teachers Sunday school informational dinner at our home this past Friday night and then I also did a training class for the ladies last night at our home. So I have been pretty busy getting all that organized.

5.) And we are finally going on vacation soon---We are going to Destin, Fl.!! This will be our first vacation with both the boys ever!! I will have to let you know how they do. I am sure they will have a blast because they love the beach and the sand so I'm sure they will be in digging heaven!

This will also be the first time ever that we have to board our dog. She is going to hate it and probably won't eat at all while we are gone so I am a little worried about that. But she might surprise me, who knows!

6.) Ethan starts school--SOON

I am homeschooling him this year and I am so not prepared for this. I am glad I am writing about it though, b/c I just remembered I need to go order his curriculum for the year....ugghhh, another thing to add to my list of things to do. I decided to start him a little later then normal b/c he already knows most of the things he should know for K-4, so I am not rushing into this with him. Later in the year I will incorporate k-5 and 1st grade stuff with him but as for now we are taking it slowly. I guess I need to get more motivated as well, which I am hoping will happen in the next week or so!

Since I shared a little bit about what's been going on I wanted to share with you some pictures from my sisters visit. 

 

The first night they were there Gus took the boys down to the park. This is how he brought them back!! Sweaty, hot, and dirty but they absolutely had a blast.

 POOL TIME!!

On our walk home the boys found a bug on the tree...They wanted me to take a picture of it, obviously...But who spotted this bug in the first place?

Just having fun rocking in the chairs

The next set of pictures were taken at River Street where we had dinner at Huey's and then we took some pictures afterwards.

The much enjoyed sweet potato fries

Yes, they were hanging on this dirty pole. What can I say?
