We're back!

We had a pretty cold and uneventful winter, but spring is here and we're out and about again. We kicked off the season with a trip to Savannah and Tybee with the Mickle relatives.

Christmasing

We finally pieced together pictures from Greta's second Christmas. Our camera broke Christmas morning (what are the odds?!), but thankfully we spent most of the holiday with other camera-yielding parents. It was a full week of family fun.

Here Comes Santa Claus

We kicked off the Christmas season earlier this month at a tree lighting in Virgina Highland. Santa flew in on his fire engine, which was actually a bigger hit than Santa himself.






After letting Greta catch a few glimpses of Santa that night we decided to give the official Santa visit and pictures a go. Instead of waiting in line at the mall, we headed to our little neighborhood market that brought in its own Santa and Mrs. Claus. I had pictured a cute setup with presents and reindeer, but they just pulled up a couple of chairs in front of the wine rack. With free wine tastings for the parents the only one unhappy with the whole thing was Greta.




In other news, it snowed!

Catching Up

The Christmas season photos are already starting to pile up, but first things first--here's what we were up to in November.

The Savannah Wades always ensure a good time and this trip was no exception. Greta just loved hanging out with her older cousins, especially sweet Henry.

October Fun

As you can see by the dwindling number of pictures of Greta, getting good snapshots of a very active toddler is no easy task. Here's our best effort of capturing what she's been up to this month.

Not a weekend day goes by without a trip to the park.



We had a great time at the JDRF walk. Thanks to all of you who donated!
