Fourth of July - 2007

We spent the Fourth of July with good friends and neighbors. We started off the evening by having dinner at the Carney's house, followed by a visit to Bruster's Ice Cream, and then a firework extravaganza at our house. During our firework display, the neighbors on each side of us joined in the celebr

ation.

Weekend in Charleston - May 2007

Jon and I went to Charleston, SC for a romantic getaway to celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time, and I have discovered one of my new favorite cities. We greatly enjoyed the education of the city, as well as the amazing Southern hospitality.

Waterpark by the Harbour/Battery

The Tall Ships were on display during our visit.

Ahhh...vacationing without kids.

Beginning of the open air market in downtown. The building shown is the market where fresh meats were sold way back, long ago.

The horse that showed us through the town.

St. Phillip's Cathedral

Very old graveyard on Church Street (St. Phillip's)

Maya - Party Like a Rock Star

This is Maya's favorite song. She loves to dance and shake her head when it comes on the radio. Notice how she stops bouncing as soon as the music stops...

Jaden's Big Boy Bike

Jaden has ditched the tricycle and is now riding a bike with training wheels.
After Daddy showed him the ropes, Jaden took off on his own.
He loves riding his new bike!
