Patriot's Point

We decided to take Chad's vacation week this week and just stay home and tour Charleston. Today we went to Patriot's Point. It was a lot of fun and interesting. It was also sobering reading about the history of our country's wars and about the brave men who fought for our freedom. We had fun just being together as a little family:)

Going into the huge battle ship!

It was cold inside!

Isaac got to sit in the cockpit of this plane with Chad!



Back home and warm!

Great Job Growing, Isaac!

I was just looking at these pictures I had taken, all of mommy and Isaac! I thought it would be neat to see them all next to each other so you can see how Isaac has grown. He started out 4lbs 5 oz. At 1 year old he is 22 lbs!









Yay! One Year Old!!!

Isaac is a year old!

I can not believe that Isaac is already a year old! We have been enjoying watching him grow so much! We had a little celebration at Chad's parents house (Mimi and Papa) It was really fun to get together with everyone and watch all the kids play outside!
We are so overwhelmingly thankful for Isaac.

Loving My BAby!!

Scootin' Around

Isaac can scoot across the room now! I caught a little bit on tape:)

2 Year Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated 2 years of marriage. I am overwhelmed at the wonderful grace God has given us. Without God we would ruin our marriage. Because of Jesus we can have a joyful relationship with God and each other!
Chad took me for a picnic on the beach!

Strawberries, Blackberries and Blueberries!

We went blueberry picking with our friends Josh and Lila and their little baby Wesley! We had so much fun and the blueberries were SOO yummy! Isaac liked them a lot:) Afterwards there was a beautiful sunset and we made blueberries and vanilla ice cream milkshakes. We have loved getting to know Josh and Lila and have been so blessed by them! Lila is a nurse in the Special Nursery at MUSC and took care of Isaac when he was there. Back when Isaac was 4lbs!


Chad, Josh, Wesley and Isaac!!

My friend Lisa and I took our babies to pick what was left of the strawberries and a tun of blackberries! Isaac loves Lisa's little Matthew!

Chad works nearby Boone Hall Farm so he came and surprised us while we were picking!

May

I can't believe that this month is almost over!! We have been enjoying the Spring so much! Isaac is growing and discovering more and more everyday. I am so blessed by him all the time. Isaac all tuckered out (above)
We have had so many beautiful and sunny days recently but this week has been suddenly cold and rainy:( I think these green bajamies are so cute and snuggly, it has been awhile since Isaac has been dressed so snuggly...I enjoyed hugging him in it:)
He wanted to help me hang up some clothes:)

These bloomed in the backyard! Beautiful!!
Isaac and Mommy's memory verse this week:
Hebrews 2:17 "He (Jesus) had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people."

Today is my Mom's birthday! Happy Birthday Mom! I love you so much and miss you a lot!

Community Thrift Store in North Charleston

Our friend Gray from church, told me about this great thrift store in North Charleston. They had so many cute baby clothes and nothing was more than a dollar! I got a great deal and was very excited about it! Isaac's wardrobe is pretty much set for this fall. And I also was able to find 2 bathing suits( I guess I need to say, "trunks"). I had been looking for some swimming trunks for Isaac!
(I did buy one very cute pair of little pants for a baby girl...just in case I ever need them:)
Chad surprised me with flowers the other day! He said he had to go get some "ice cream" and he came back with ice cream and 1/2 dozen roses! I have SUCH a wonderful man! They smell sooo good!

Jumper Seat and New Flowers!

Isaac is slowing getting the hang of his jumper seat. He can just barely touch the ground and make himself bounce a little:) I think once his legs get longer he is really going to enjoy it! And we found the perfect spot for it, in the doorway so he can feel the breeze!

My mother-in-law came and stayed with us for a couple days last week and helped me clean up the garden. She also bought me some beautiful flowers to plant! I had a lot of fun planting them. I have been taking Isaac outside with me everyday to water them. He is going to be my little helper:)
It is fun watching them continue to bloom! God made such beautiful flowers!
Last Saturday I mowed the lawn for the first time! haha It was tiring, and Isaac was crying the whole time but Chad had left and I didn't want to let go of the mower b/c I was afraid I wouldn't be able to crank it again... haha I will get better:) Isaac was fine, he just wanted mommy!!



I put Isaac in his Moby Wrap sometimes when we go outside to water our flowers
He is "slightly" bouncing:)
