First day at the big girl school!

Emilie started at Brookhaven United Methodist this past Monday! So far, aside from a few teary drop-offs, she seems to love it! She's learning about washing hands, and play time, and snack time at the table, and all kinds of fun things! They do lots of cute things, like today is Pajama Day where all the kids wear their PJ's to school, and tomorrow is the big 4th of July parade where the kids get to ride around the parking lot in wagons, on bikes, and even in their cribs for the little babies! Emilie tells us all the things she likes so far, like "stickers" and "play" and "blocks", she seems to be really enjoying it! (Despite that fact that she was not really in the mood for taking pictures on her first morning!)

A little more Hilton Head

I know matt's already posted a couple, but I wanted to share a few more pictures from Hilton Head. We had a great time and Emilie loved playing with her cousins all week. She even put on a few "story/sing-a-long" performances for them before bedtime! Thanks to Wein for organizing everything and congratulations to mom and dad on 40 years! Now we're looking forward to our next trip to St. Simons this weekend w/ the Edwards!

all neat and tidy...

Emilie seems to have a little bit of her daddy in her, in that she likes things to be tidy. Daddy's not a clean freak, as much as AM would like for my desire for tidyness to also include. Emilie decided that all her dolls needed to be organized on the stairs a couple of weeks ago. I like it!

back from Hilton Head...

We were over in Hilton Head this past week for a full week with the Dooley fam. We had a sweet house to fit all 23 Dooley's, with a nice pool, and just a block from the beach. I've actually never really been on Hilton Head's beach, but it's great.

We got there on Saturday afternoon. did the beach on Sunday. I golfed at Shipyard on Monday...shot 78, best I've played in a while. 2 over thru 13. Then had a bog, double, par, bog, par finish. Could've even been better, but was happy to play well. I got some stomach bug and was out of commission on Tuesday. Wed the ladies went shopping and Em and I walked for about 2 hours on the beach. We went to the beach on Thur and Fri, and then back to Atlanta on Sat.

Emilie had an absolute blast in the ocean, especially the shallow part. She didn't so much care for getting out there with the big waves, but loved sitting down in the shallow area, playing with the sand, etc. She's like me in that she doesn't love for sand to get all over her, but she still really likes it! Lucky for her, we go back again this wknd to SSI for a long weekend.

She's had enough of us

Ol' Emilie needed something to take off the edge of dealing with the two of us, so she decided to break into the liquor cabinet. This was her first trip in there. Obviously, I'll have to lock it up a little tighter going forward! The main problem is she can actually twist bottle tops now...that poses a problem when it comes to miniatures especially!

It's steamy out there...

Even Emilie needed to cool down last night...man, this heat is pretty unbelieveable.

An oldie but a goodie...

I was going through my work inbox earlier this week, trying to delete some things that were taking up a lot of space, and came across our only pic of "Balls Deep 2006 (I think)" We did this in Savannah, staying at Geriner's place in Tybee. This was on Saturday...after a big Friday night, and an even bigger Saturday night to come...

Good times,
