Well, having some time off in December greatly increased the amount of time I had for posting pictures. Louie’s Cub Scout Pack rode in the Lancaster Christmas Parade . Jenny celebrated a birthday . There was lots of baking.  Chocolate Chip Cookies , Pizzelles...
We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Here is how we spent the last few weeks getting ready for Christmas! Visiting Santa Claus,   Decorating the Christmas Tree,   Riding in the Parade,   Eating Cookies,   Making Pizzelles,  ...
Friday was the last day of school and preschool before Christmas. Matt’s class sang carols for the parents.  There was also a live nativity. Louie’s school went to see A Christmas Carol.  It was pretty scary, but both boys said they enjoyed it…  ...
Tonight we celebrated Jenny’s birthday.  Just a small party, Jenny’s parents, and mine, plus Grandma Burke, Anna, and of course Louie, Matt, & Sarah, and Katelyn was even here! We had cake but no ice cream.  Or maybe it was ice cream but no cake...
Louie was in his second parade of the year tonight. This time we didn’t have to walk, the Cub Scout Pack was kind enough to line up a trailer for us to ride on, but it was crazy cold.  It must have been 33°!  Just cold enough for it not to snow because...
Ah, November…   Louie marched in the Veterans Day Parade with his Cub Scout Pack. Louie’s Soccer season came to an end.  The team was 7-4-1 in the regular season, and 1-1 in the play-offs losing to the eventual Champion.  To put the final finishing...
I can’t wait until we have two (or even better THREE) kids busy with extra-curricular activities.   October is Birthday Month.  Mom & Dad both celebrated the happy occasion this month. Cub Scouts kicked into high gear this month. There was a...
Matt loves to dance, normally he is content to dance by him self.  Tonight he needed a partner.   Enjoy! :-)
And I thought we were busy before… The last two months we have been so busy that we haven’t posted anything but the monthly review. We started the month with a trip to Clemson!  It was quite enjoyable.  We headed up after school/work on Friday and...
This seemed to be the month for visiting Family and Friends.  We started this month at the very beginning, August 1st,  celebrating Kaiden’s second birthday.  Who doesn’t love 2 year old’s parties?  There were water games, cake, ice cream...
July was vacation month.  We took a family vacation to the Sunset Beach for a week, went to Clemson for two days and the boys went to the North Carolina mountains to visit Santa Land in a special two day trip with Bupka. Plus two trips to Columbia. ...
Earlier this summer we purchased a membership to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, and we have tried several times (unsuccessfully) to plan a visit. This weekend we finally made it. This was not Sarah’s first visit to a zoo, we took her to the National Zoo last...
After five days of watching Louie ride around with no training wheels, and several failed attempts earlier in the week, Matt learned to ride his bike with no training wheels today! Watching Matt ride his bike with the training wheels I was confident that he...
Sarah was again up at 6:00 AM this morning.  Yeah this got old after the first day, but what can you do.  Anyway, the rest of the house was still sound asleep, so Sarah and I went out to the beach.  All week long she has cried if any part of...
As promised, here is a picture of the new bike rider… Funny story.  Louie was showing off for Mommy and Bupka tonight.  He was practicing two things really.  1. Riding, and 2. Turning Around. Yesterday we focused on riding in a straight line...
