Stone's Throw

The New Magnus Ver Magnussen

Jack has moved on from throwing pebbles to heaving large stones!

A Day at the Beach

We spent the day at nearby Jordan Lake today. We are thrilled that Jack is back to loving the water! Surf's Up!

Tybee Island

We met up with the Marz family for a week's vacation on Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia. Even though the weather was less than ideal, we made some fun for ourselves with around the clock games, touring the island and towns, crawling the pubs (sans Jack, of course!) and some serious puddle jumping.

Spring has Sprung!

Jack is obsessed with all things cars, including the movie "Cars." We finally broke down and bought it this weekend. This is the look of a boy who could not look away from his beloved Lightning McQueen! Ka-Chow!

We had a great time at Evan's 2nd birthday party celebration this weekend.

We finally planted our garden. We decided when Jack was born that we would celebrate his birthday (and life) by planting life. For his first birthday, we planted a Crepe Myrtle tree at the Willow Wood house in Atlanta. This year, we planted a Rose vine that already has some yellow rose buds on it! We plan to guide it so it climbs over the front entry way so it smells beautiful everytime we come and go! It will be fun to visit all of Jack's "trees" over the years.

Cock-a-doodle-doo! (I had to).

Phlox and Hydrangaes are the newest addition! Maybe we should have planted some "impatiens" because I can't wait for them to spread and fill in.

Aaron gave me a new birdhouse for my birthday! It kinda looks like our house, which is fun. Hoepfully we'll have some tenants soon!

Our April board. Usually we have writing on here, but the day we made it, it was raining to beat the band! And thankfully we had an 80 degree weekend. As you can see, Jack helped me make some raindrops (lower RH corner). They are his specialty!

Nightingale Turns 1

Jack's dear friend, Nightingale (a.k.a. Niya), turned 1 on Saturday. We all had a great time celebrating this sweet child!

Happy Birthday, Jack

Our sweet boy turned 2 today! What an adventure it has been, Jack. We have enjoyed chasing you at the beach and watching you run with the seagulls. You are the light of our lives.
