(I can't take all the credit, the kids did take some pictures :)

Earlier this week we went on one of our first family vacations that didn't involve other family going with us. We headed to Isle of Palms just outside Charleston, South Carolina, and we had a lot of fun. We went to the beach one day, the city of Charleston another day, and the hotel pool everyday. The Isle of Palms and Charleston are really beautiful--I highly recommend visiting. We did a carriage tour of Charleston and a boat tour of the harbor. Amelia napped the whole time on the boat, so she must enjoy the fresh sea air! During the tours, Alyssa was asking when we would go back to the hotel and go swimming, so I guess the highlight of her trip was the pool. Dillon is my history buff, so his favorite part seemed to be when we saw some old civil war cannons. We had a great time, but we were all exhausted by the end of the trip that it was good to be home.

14 Months Old

I know, 14 months old is a random age, but I was late taking Dillon's one year shot, so I thought I'd be consistent! To me, all my kids look very similar--their daddy's genes are strong....some Filipino snuck in with Alyssa though and I think they each have my smile. However, they look mostly like their daddy which I guess isn't a bad thing! ;)

Fourth of July

We headed to my in-laws' to celebrate the 4th. They invited my parents, so it was nice to see both sets of grandparents celebrating together. My in-laws' house is on the water, so everyone enjoyed the scenery and some of us went out on the boat. That night, the Arboneaux men put on a fireworks show for us. Then, on Sunday, my parents took the older 2 kids home with them for the week, so Tommy and I are all alone with just Amelia. It's weird having only one in the house, but I think we'll manage.
