Aquarium

Talk about a great field trip! This was amazing. Despite the fact that Arlee-Jane couldn't locate any mermaids, we are looking to visit the aquarium many more times this year - what good is a membership if you don't use it? Our friends Roger and Wendy will be in Coastal SC at the end of the month. I am sure their daughter would love to convince them to schedule a visit there. (keeping with the "coastal" theme)

Rebbeka and Halee

I need to find out how to spell her name....? Anyway, These girls are having so much fun helping out at World Changers this week. It is such a relief to know that the Filos family is so "like-minded" in regards to the standard we hold for our families. I am looking forward to spending much more time with them all.

Fun in the Sun

We were finally able to make it to Edisto on Sunday for an hour or so. Avah is still feeling under the weather and Abbee's ear is still on the fritz. The worst thing was that we forgot to move the stroller into the wagon....not good to have to hold onto the little one the entire time. The best part - the whole family together! (Willie finally put the work phone down for a moment) I was scared watching Abbee trying to jump to clear the wave tops. She did a swell job. Halee, Cloe, Willie and Avah-Lilee were able to get past the breaking point so I wasn't too worried about them. Arlee-Jane was continually running to dry her eyes and state, "I am gonna die, that water might kill me!" We love our WATER BABIES....all 5 of them!

Sick For The First Time EVER!!!

Our sweet Avah-Lilee has RSV. She is so sad...so am I. It breaks my heart for her to feel so ill. We (She & I) were awake untill 5:30 this morning. Not much time for sleep. Oh well, maybe I'll catch up on those winks one day :o)

Fun on the Fourth!

We had a wonderful time this weekend at Grandmymommie's house. Lots of yummy food and family to share it with. The children...yes Willie too, had a blast in her new pool.

Another Lover of the Arts!

I thought this was an adorable moment...I caught Arlee-Jane looking at a book (The Little Mermaid) and sketching. She proudly stated, "I am drawing a mermaid!" She has always loved them....mermaids that is.

- - this was the look she had on her face by the time I replaced the cameral batteries--

The Moment She's Been Waiting For!

Today was an exciting day for Halee...just take a look at her before her ortho appointment and her photo after the appointment. She was afraid that they would recomend ONE More Month...but no - they removed them :)
