Tiaras Make you Taller: August 2008

My little man joined the big leagues and started Kindergarten today! I cannot believe how grown up he is! He was honestly so excited to head back to school and I was so happy for him. He now goes every day, all day and I missed him like crazy today. Today was an orientation where I drove him in and he rode the bus home. Tomorrow starts the 1st day with the whole class and riding the bus back and forth. I'm so proud of him!!

Here is Logan with his new teacher

Smiling with his backpack in the hallway

Posing with his buddy and sissy

Here comes the bus!

Devon and I played around with camera outside while we were waiting for Logan to come home. Here is my sweet little ham :)

So, I bet you thought I dropped off of the face of the earth, eh? Nope! We just got back from a 10 day relaxing (haha!) vacation in Hilton Head. I'll tell you, all things considered, we had a GREAT time. It was low key and we had time to do what ever we wanted and just got to be a family. That was an awesome feeling.

It's ab0ut 12 hours from us so we stopped the 1st night in Charlotte, NC. We had some insanely awesome BBQ (we stopped here on our last trip through) and laughs at The Residence Inn. We took our time the next day getting to our condo in HH. It was on a golf course (foooooooooore! I wanted to scream soooo bad from the patio) and decorated so nicely. We each had our own bedroom which sort of help keep with our at home sleep routines. The pool was amazing. It was one of those zero depth ones where the kids can just walk in to and it had tons of sprinklers and water thing-a-ma-jigs that kept my kiddos VERY busy all week. The beach was about a mile a way. We didn't go there as often as I would have liked (the sand was white and the water was warm) because Logan had some "issues" thanks to a few too many Sponge Bob episodes (grrrrrr!) but I've learned to pick my battles and serenity on vacation was what I was looking for :)

We had so much fun swimming and shopping (weeeeeee!) and playing min-golf and eating ice cream (every night!) that it was hard to come to real life. But we're here now and real life is still a pretty happy place to be :)

Here are my 10 zillion pics:

This alligator lived in the pond by the pool. He was real! There were signs posted "Do NOT Feed Alligators: $10,000 Fine!" I wasn't looking to be gator bait!
