NYC

We headed up to New York City for the 4th of July. We've wanted to make it up there for a while, and since Steve's internship had ended we thought it would be a good time. We were able to see the city and he was able to make a few contacts up there for potential jobs when he's graduated. A friend of Steve's is in school up there and he and his family live in New Jersey. It was great to spend some time with them. They have a little girl who's just a few months older than Jack, so it was fun for him to have a friend to play with. Thanks again for a great time Sean, Shannon and Ashlynn!

The first night we where there, we went into the city, for dinner then walked around.

the little guy fell asleep on our walk through central park.
he actually fell asleep in the stroller a few times as we walked through the noisy city.

We went to a mets vs dodgers game while we were there.
wondering when it's going to be his turn to play ball like his daddy, uncles and all his cousins

There are so many more things we wanted to see and do, but both the kids ended up getting pretty sick so we weren't able to fit everything in this trip. Guess we'll just have to plan another time to go back!!

Father's Day

Jack and I are so lucky to have Steve in our lives!
He is a great father and a wonderful husband.

WE LOVE YOU!

Louisiana

We were so excited to be able to go to Louisiana for Ashley's baby blessing. It was a quick trip for us because we had to get back to South Carolina for Steve's internship, but we had a great time with the whole Trythall family and we were glad we were able to make it. While we were there we were also able to celebrate Steve's mom's 60th birthday. One of the highlights of the trip was being able to take family pictures! It was a great weekend and we can't wait to get together again!our little family

Peek-a-boo

This is what we do on a random Wednesday morning...

Crawling..

Jack started crawling a few days ago, and he's caught on pretty fast. He's made a few more discoveries and found some new things he likes. Guess we have to make our house even more baby proof! One thing's for sure, he sure does like "non"toy items more than his actual toys. And everything still goes straight into his mouth.

A crazy May..

It's hard to believe that May has come and gone. We had a great month full of a lot of fun.

During the month of May... We Moved. Our baby turned 6 months! Jack and I surprised our family and flew to California for 2 weeks while Steve toured the South Carolina coast for school. We Celebrated some birthdays. We went Swimming. We went to Disneyland. We cheered when uncle Gregory graduated from USC Orthodontics program. We watched some little league baseball games, which happens to be one of our favorite spring/summer past times! We had Grandma Nan and Papa Frank out for a visit. We Went to Charleston. Jack became more mobile. But the most fun of all was spending time with family and friends!
