A long time coming...

Yes I need to practice this whole picture uploading, don't know where to start typing, confusion thing... but I have sadly been neglecting our poor blog!! No posts for couple of months... I am sorry to say I am ashamed of myself, I apologize. But on the up and up I have some lovely pictures for you guys... everyone say YAY!!! :D

Above is us at Chris' graduation from bootcamp... I just love Gabriel's expression: Who is this guy?! :D But we are so proud of Chris and the hard work he did!
You have to love the mossy trees!! Aren't they cool?
My loving parents came to visit us a month ago and we had a blast!! I'm so grateful I have such wonderful parents, they are truly amazing. This was outside of the building for tours to Fort Sumter. Gabriel just loved that fountain!
Above us we have the South Carolina beaches... they are fun but they can get oh so crowded! And below us we have Chris and Gabriel at Easter time. Chris is looking spiffy in his Navy uniform :D So funny story about this egg hunt. There were about 5 kagillion kids and parents and only like 2 eggs (okay yes I am exaggerating) But seriously it's not to far off! They had different sections for the different ages and 1-3 year olds had their parents help. So here is the conversation I hear from one of the mothers after the egg hunt is done.

Mother: Wow, that went fast! I don't think a lot of people got eggs this year.
Father: (glances in the basket his wife is holding) Oh yeah?
Mother: Yeah... they really need to put more eggs out there, I think some kids only got one... it's kind of sad.
Son: Mommy didn't we get eggs?
Mother: Sshhh!!!
Eliza:(silently glances over to the other woman's basket to reveal she had 20 eggs all to herself... yes my friends, she was the elusive EGG-HOG-A-MOMMA!!!)
This is our little weed patch outside that floods everytime it rains, which makes for a wonderful pond... if only we had some fish!
Gabriel looking cute :D
We have to keep ourselves entertained during the hurricane season... yes folks that's right HURRICANE SEASON! Luckily, me and Gabriel both love that South Carolina rain so I guess it works out okay :D

Will keep posting... hopefully more often :D
With love- Eliza

I LOVE the pictures!!! It is nice to see you and see what the dirty south looks like =) (get it lol) I love rain! I wish that i could see it there. Your little guy looks so cute and he is growing so fast! Is he getting into things and pushing his boundaries a little? I am glad that you saw your parents and they were able to visit you!
