Charleston for Spring Break!

We love visiting Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Ray in Charleston, SC. The week is filled with:
Playstation 3, Buddy and Jack (the dogs) Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice cream, Krispy Kreme Donuts, Downtown market, Pralines, front porch swinging and reading, Thomlinsons, Sullivans Island, River Street Sweets, warmth, Easter Eggs hunts, true down home southern cooking, a few pounds gained and lots and lots of LOVE.

Under Water Easter Egg Hunt @ Piedmont

So the Piedmont Club this year did an Awesome activity for Easter. An underwater hunt! For kids 6-9. Austin had a blast!!

Kindergarten Registration

Ashley has had an amazing 2 years at Haymarket Baptist Church Preschool. We are all SO SAD as a family to leave such a phenomenal school. Ash is SO ready for Kingergarten though! This spring we filled out the paperwork and she's ready to start Sept 2011 as a big Kindergartener! She held her head high as she walked the halls today. We packed a lunch to eat with Austin during his lunch break and she sat right down with the rest of them!

Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus

Ash waas only 4 months old when we brought her to the circus the first time!! Blast from the past!

Austin was 3!











We had only been to the circus as a family 1 other time and it was when Ashley was 4 months old and Austin was 3. This time we think they'll remember it a little better! The best part of the circus was the steel round cage with 20 motorcyclists riding in all different directions in it! Very cool! See? The Circus appeases children of all ages!

Daddy Comes Home for Spring Break '11

Stella LaBarbera-our new cousin/niece! Dress made beautifully by Grandma LaBarbera.

Austin got to go to a Washington Nationals Baseball Game with his buddy Dylan. They had excellent seats and even brought home a game ball!



Ash is doing a hip hop dance class at the Piedmont Club. She loves to boogie.

Ash's dear friend from preschool Emmy.





We are so excited that Dada can come home on all the breaks that the kids are out of school. We had a great time these 2 1/2 weeks!
