Miss Stef

Last weekend, Stef came for a visit from San Fran! :-) Tyson enjoyed meeting her for the first time and showing her around the town. Spring is certainly here, so we spent as much time outside as possible.

Carolina on my mind...

The first half of my Spring Break was spent in Charlotte, NC visiting Lindsay! Lindsay has been living in Charlotte for over a year and she loves it. We were blessed to see a glimpse of her life and meet a few of her friends. The South has a charm that cannot be matched in the West...I was blown away by the beauty of the city through its old historic homes, quaint restaurants and bars, and colorful flowers. Travelling with an active toddler brought new challenges as Tyson had his own agenda when we tried to plan each day packed with things to see and do. Tyson was a trooper and he really enjoyed his time with Aunt Lyndie (as he calls her).

We made it! First few moments after landing.

Visting Lindsay's church- notice the (purple) flowers!

Charleston, SC! They use actual gas lamp lanterns!

Visiting the Boone Plantation

Entrance to the plantation lined with 200 year old oak trees...gorgeous!

Kiss me, I'm Irish!

Yes, I really am! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Picture Day

Tyson had Picture Day this week and I snapped this photo as we were heading out. I think he looks so handsome in his "big boy" shirt.

The past few weeks...

have been moving faster than we can keep up with! I have been trying to get better at posting updates more regularly, but I am not quite there yet. Tyson has been a happy camper and loves playing with his puppy (stuffed animal). Lately, he sleeps, eats, runs, walks, and drives with his puppy. I am curious how long this "puppy phase" will last.
