Edisto and Tybee (Memorial Day weekend)

We had a fun Memorial Day weekend this year! Jon had several days off so we headed down to Edisto to spend a couple of days with some friends. Times really have changed over the last couple of years...everyone has babies now so our days of relaxing on the beach and sleeping in have turned into getting up at 6am and chasing kids all over the beach! It is so much fun to see all of the kids interact and play together and I can't wait to see them all grow up! After a couple days at Edisto, we headed down to Tybee Island for the Christopher family reunion (aka My Big Fat Greek Reunion). We also had a great time there playing on the beach and hanging out with family! Sophie jumped right into the greek dancing...I think she will have it down in no time! Sam also enjoyed all of his time on the beach since it was his first trip! All in all, it was a great long weekend and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Surprisingly the drives to Edisto, Tybee and back all were pretty calm (thank goodness) but we did realize that we definitely needed a bigger car...we now have a Tahoe. We look forward to going back to the beach this summer for some more fun in the sun!!!

Some more about the babies...Sophie continues to amaze us all the time. She is clearly speaking in sentences and has started being able to recognize most letters of the alphabet. She has contined to go to "school" atleast once a week and still loves it! Sam turned 5 months while we were at the beach. He started eating a little cereal at night (which didn't help at all with his sleep) and is doing pretty well with sitting on his own, although he is stll a little wobbly. He is overall a pretty happy fellow but definitely still has his moments. They are both growing up way too fast!
