Time flies......

Today Dargan and I met our friends Teresa, Chloe & Cille Wren at Alhambra Hall playground. It felt so strange to be there without my sweet Will. It seems like yesterday that Will & I did everything together, just the 2 of us. We had an outing planned almost every day. We frequented Alhambra during the week and sometimes even made some friends while we played. Little Dargan is already 2 years old and it feels like my life has changed so much. Everyone always told me that I would be different with my 2nd child, but I did not believe it until now. Dargan is so appreciative when I do take him places, esp. when we have some one-on-one time which rarely ever happens..... I kept checking my watch to see when it was time to pick up Will from school....and I had 3 more hours to go! How strange that he's beig enough to go to real school and stay til 2:40 every day of the week! How can time go by that fast??? Dargan's orientation at First Baptist Church School was set for tomorrow, but was just cancelled due to an impending tropical storm. So I guess the 3 of us will be stuck inside once again these last few days of warm weather...

Back Porch Fun...

My boys love to play on the backporch. Rob Rob gave Little Brother a sand and water table for his 2nd birthday and of course more sand ends up on the floor than on the table! It really gets crazy when we let the pugs play on the porch. Talk about chaos! LB throws sand at them and they try to escape into the house. Big Brother is such a big boy now and comes home from a fun-filled day at kindergarten ready to relax on the backporch.

Back to School 2008

It's hard for me to believe, but my fisrt born son Will starts kindergarten this month! And so now I will start living the school-year schedule for a second time in my life, this time as a mother. I have to admit I am pretty excited. After spending hours tooling around the internet looking at backpacks from Pottery Barn, LL Bean and Lands End, we finally came to a decision. Will chose a critter pack from LL Bean complete with a shark and his initials embroidered on it. I saw the tears in other mother's eyes that first day of school, but it did not hit me until the 2nd day when I stepped back and really saw how much my little baby has grown. He's a big kid who stays at school til 2:30 every day of the week. When and how did this happen???

Dargan's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Dargan's 2nd Birthday at TGI Friday's restaurant. We had planned a ELMO party at Isle of Palms County Park, but had to cancel it because of the weather. Dargan had a great time at the restaurant. Dargan and Will even wore their Elmo hats during dinner. When the staff came over to sing Happy Birthday to him he started screaming, although he did enjoy the cake and ice cream.

T-Ball-Summer 2008

Will's first year of sports was t-ball with the Mt. Pleasant Rec Department. He was on a team with 3 of his best buddies-Matthew Malak, Sawyer Shoemake and Caleb Hamlin. A great time was had by all-even little Dargan loved hanging out on the sidelines saying, "t-ball" over and over. It about drove Dargan crazy that he could not run out on the field and play ball with his big brother and Daddy. Daddy coached this year too which was great for Will. A few of the Moms told me that Will's t-ball skills had improved dramatically over the season.
