Milestone

On this beautiful day at the farm Keller showed us one of his newer tricks...standing on his own! Kind of made me want to tear up a bit...Im not ready for this big boy stuff.

FARM

I remember why I love fall..its all the fun outdoor adventures we have. This weekend we got up early, headed to Caroline and Tyson's to start the caravan to Grits and Groceries...maybe the best hidden gem in the Upstate. Yes, it took 45 minutes..but it was so worth it. Apple fritters, crab cakes and grits with tomato gravy for an appetizer...shrimp po boy for lunch. Amazing food and atmosphere. Keller had his first biscuit and it was love at first bite. Then we all jumped in the car and headed to the Smoak farm. I cant say enough about this place. I originally thought my favorite place in South Carolina was the beach...but the farm may take the cake! It was an amazing day spent with great friends under a big tree with a cool drink in hand..followed by some good ole football watching on the back porch. I mean really, can it get any better?

Apple Orchard

I am getting so behind on this blog thing. We went to the apple orchard this past weekend with a group of friends. Keller had his first bites of an apple and his first of many pumpkin photo shoots. What a perfect way to spend a beautiful Fall day. Cant wait to get back there next year.

AB's wedding weekend

What a perfect wedding weekend in Highlands to celebrate Anne Beaumont and David! We are so excited for our dear friends. The weekend was gorgeous and the bride was stunning. (need to add pics when I get them!) An added perk was having all the Mermaid babies together for the first time!! We didnt catch them all together in a photo this time..but we got close!

FRIENDS!

I have been waiting for this one..a good before and after of my girls and I pre-baby and with baby! Too cute!

BEACH TRIP!!

we finally made it to the beach with Keller for a good long weekend at the Smoak's house at Kiawah. It was awesome. A totally relaxing beach weekend. Great weather. Wonderful friends. It was just perfect. Somehow we even managed to get the kids on the same nap schedule! I cant wait to do this again next year when Keller can walk!

Labor Day Weekend

We went to Highlands for the long weekend and it was awesome. Keller started working on his crawling a little and he is getting so close to having it down. The army crawl is in full effect. We swung on the swing, played in the backyard and best of all we met Mary Drew! It was love at first site until he hit her in the face. But I think it was flirting, right? Pics to come of their first meeting!
