Cow appreciation day (I just don't get it...)


Why, why, why in the world was our Chick-Fil-A not swamped tonight? Why were other restaurants still in business this evening? One of the premiere fast food joints in our nation gives (GIVES) away full meals (and might I add apparently desserts as well) for the mere exchange of dressing like a cow and people balk at this gift. Chick-Fil-A is not cheap friends - and you can certainly eat healthy there if you so choose - so what gives? I mean - you dress up like a cow and walk in and they say "welcome to Chick-Fil-A, what would you like this evening?" and then order! Is this seriously a case of people being afraid to show up dressed up? Is this like homecoming week in high school all over again? Sheesh. Well - we went, the girls looked cute, and we pigged out. And if you didn't go - you missed out. I know Aunt Gayle in NYC would KILL to have a Chick-Fil-A near her - let alone a free night there. I'm done now. 

Sophia the artist

Sophia is always drawing things from her imagination. Recently she started drawing things from what she sees as well. It started with drawing the carousel that we rode in central park last summer. Constantly. The next thing I remember her drawing was a vase of flowers that I got emily for a special occasion. Today, I went into the kitchen and saw her most recent endeavor - you can see it on the right there. Below is a video of the work in progress.






Sophia set up a barbie princess and paper next to each other and drew her doll. pics and video to come on the blog. i love this girl

Mac Attack is...


6 months old today! Ooooh Baby boy. You are growing way too fast. 6 months ago we had barely seen you for the first time (and by this time you hadn't even been named yet!). You are such a joyful addition to our family. Your sweet spirit is just what the doctor ordered and we can't wait to see what you are going to do in the future. We love you Malachi! 

Family Picture Day at Freedom Park!


As I mentioned yesterday, our friend Susan Jones offered to take us out to do family pictures for us. Last check, we had family pictures taken before Piper was born...sooooo - it was time. We have NEVER had any professional pictures of Mac and boy did Susan get some great ones. Click below the picture to see more! (Once you go to picasa web albums you can leave comments on individual photos if you so want to...Laura Elaine Smith does!)

Family Pictures...Sneak Peak...

Sites and Sounds of Beach Week 2010

Here is a short movie (and I mean short) of beach week 2010. Piper in the waves and Sophia on "the Hippo" - a GIANT slide on the short in Myrtle. Chad obviously thought it was hilarious to see Sophia coming down it as you'll see.

Just got family pictures taken at Freedom Park by a friend of ours. we should have the proofs soon!
