And just like that.....we are a family of 4:)

Now don't be silly.....I didn't mean another baby:)  But we did get a fish for Carson.  It was fun to take her to the pet store.  She seems to really like animals.  She loved looking at everything they had there.  We let her choose the fish and she wanted an orange one.  We asked her what she would like to name it and she said with no hesitation....."Nemo".  Well alrighty then.....Nemo it is.

Labor Day and Carson turns 2 in South Carolina

Carson and Sarah when we arrived....I think they were about to run across the room:)


We had a great time visiting our very good friends the Tillers in South Carolina over Labor Day.  I met Melissa and Josh in Athens while they were living there for Josh to attend UGA for his masters.  Melissa and I worked together and became fast friends.  She was a bridesmaid in our wedding.  She is the kind of friend that you don't need to talk to every day (though sometimes we may) or even every week and can pick up exactly where you left off.  I treasure these kind of friends.  She is my friend that I affectionately refer to as "Martha Stewart":)  This is because she is super crafty and such a domestic goddess!


It has been fun to watch our little girls together.  They seem to play very well together.  When we arrived on Friday Melissa and I took the girls to Fun Gym.  This is where you can take your kids to a free play gymnasium.   They had a blast!  It was great for Carson to be able to run around after a long car ride.

We told them to do the same pose and it's just too cute~




The next day was Saturday and Melissa and I planned to take the girls to the beach.  Melissa and Sarah had made these adorable cupcakes for Carson's b-day and we let the girls have one for breakfast:)


 It was the first time Carson had ever seen the beach.  She wasn't real sure about it at first (in fact I was a little worried that we'd have to leave).  She kept saying "I wanna get down".  Not sure if she thought we were up some place high:).....but she warmed up to it.  She walked around in the sand more and then eventually went out to the water with me.  Carson didn't want to leave the beach.....when it was time ago she was looking out at the ocean and said "Bye ocean.....I'll see you tomorrow:)"

Aren't they adorable?

Happy 2nd B-day sweet girl~

Fun in the Sun!




We had such a great time visiting and catching up with the Tillers.  Of course our trip would not have been complete without one small trip to urgent care:)  Carson developed pink eye on the day before we were supposed to leave.  We took it in stride and got her to the dr. and got the eye drops and we were good to go. 


A good time was had by all!
