Snowflakes in South Carolina

We had a wintry mix of ice and sleet on Friday night, but on Saturday night, we were surprised to have about 15 minutes of heavy snow! Savannah was excited to run outside and play for a few minutes, and Gage...well...he was just cold in his jammies (it was a last minute decision to add him into the picture).

A trip to the Greenville zoo

It was a beautiful day in SC, so we took a trip to the Greenville zoo. Savannah was hoping that a fairy would come by and make the bear come to life.

Sushi night

Mommy was 25 years old before she tried sushi, yet here is Savannah eating a California roll at not-quite 3 years old.  She tried her hand at chop sticks, but took the "poke it and eat it" approach - it got the job done!

Growing up so fast!

Gage just seems to be growing up so fast! He is such a happy little guy...

A week full of new things

Last week was full of firsts for Savannah. She started pre-school last week at Clemson Montessori. She loves her new school, and I love to watch the kids at pick-up time. Trish (her teacher) calls them down in pairs and they hold the railing as they come down the stairs. At the bottom, they have to sit on the white benches and wait for the rest of the kids before Trish calls them (in pairs, again) to go meet their mommies at the gate. So cute. Savannah also started dance class at Fain's Dance in Clemson. She is SO tiny compared to the other girls, but she seemed to have a blast.

Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas here at home in South Carolina with Adam's parents. We started opening gifts at 6:30am and didn't finish until 2:00pm! Savannah was a very patient "unwrapper" -- she had to play with almost every toy that she opened before she moved on to the next one. It make for a very leisurely day of opening gifts. Nice not to just tear through everything in five minutes!

Another VERY cold, rainy day in SC

How do you pass another rainy day stuck in the house? Playing, making and painting homemade ornaments, of course. And...if you're 2 years old and having tuna for lunch, why not join Smidge (who always gets to lick the can) on the floor to "eat like a kitty cat" just for a little added fun?!

A cold, rainy day in SC

We are trapped in the house today. It's a cold and rainy day here, Adam is in Belgium, and we are not brave enough to face the stores with all the Xmas shoppers. So, we've been playing in the saucer, making paper snowflakes, watching Rudolph, Frosty, and Charlie Brown Christmas.
