Thirsty Thursday - chillin on a walk

Nothing like home grown greens

My Dad picked the first crop of greens, herbs and strawberries for us from his garden. Juliette is enjoying preparing the yummy salads for dinner.

Sea Bird Sanctuary

While we were down in FL, we were able to take Juliette to Don and Grandpa's favorite place - the Seacoast Bird Sanctuary. This place is just amazing. You would not believe how many birds they rehabilitate and the others are kept on the premises. Juliette like her Daddy has a special place in her heart for "birps" as she calls them. As you can imagine, she was quite overwhelmed with all of the "birps" right around her.

Time of sadness brings joy too

It is amazing how the celebration of life can bring everyone together. In spite of losing my Grandpa Bud, we were able to enjoy some fond memories and light moments with family and friends. Grandpa had a beautiful funeral amongst all who were closest to him. I feel very comforted that Grandpa never suffered and died very peacefully.

Rest in peace Grandpa Bud

How Lucky we all were to have 94 years with my Grandpa Bud. He passed away last night. I am SO very happy that he was able to spend very special time with his only Great-Granddaughter. The memories stay forever.

Best friends and "new little future best friends"

We had such a fun play night with my two best friends from college who happened to be from Charleston as well. Jill had us over for a pizza and play night outside. There are five girls between the three of us girls. We pity when there is actually a boy born. He will be the king for sure among all of these little girls. There is always something special on an evening with great girlfriends and watching all of your children playing together.

the potty... oh the potty...

Well we continue to encourage the potty. However, this seems to be Juliette's favorite part of pottying - playing with the potty instead of sitting on the potty. She is running around with a bare bottom in the picture all ready to go but decided that the floor would be much more appropriate than the potty to pee-pee.
