A Little Get-Away

We are enjoying a little get away right now, just Brian and I, on Hilton Head Island. A good college friend of Brian's got married here, and it is an absolutely beautiful location for a destination wedding! Tomorrow we return home, back to reality, which I'll be ready for (I miss the kids lots!). And today, we enjoy one more day of 85 and sunny degree weather, beach, palm trees, local seafood and grits (yum!), and no schedule!

Introducing...

The Newest Lil' Miss Engle. She will be making her grand entrance the beginning of September....and for now, she is nice and comfy in her Mommy's tummy :)

Going's On

Our good friends, Amber, Jeremy, and their sweet son, Ben, over for dinner, basketball, chit-chat/catching up, baby cuddling, and video-game playing :). Uncle Brad's Birthday party. Bryton and Caden "hanging out" with their principal, St. Patty's Day bow-ties and all.

Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's House

We made a quick yet fun trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house this past weekend! It consisted of fishing, playing basketball, dancing w/ Aunt Sarah, and shopping!

A Blessing for You...

...this St. Patrick's Day, and always :) May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand. May God be with you and bless you: May you see your children's children. May you be poor in misfortune, Rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness From this day forward. May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home And may the hand of a friend always be near. May green be the grass you walk on, May blue be the skies above you, May pure be the joys that surround you, May true be the hearts that love you.

This Week's Favorites

Trader Joe's Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate Almonds - These little suckers are accompanying me as I post this time of night - yum! An easy soup recipe, which was a hit w/ the adults and kiddo's in this household: http://crockpotladies.com/recipe-categories/soups-stews/crockpot-cheese-beer-bratwurst-soup/ Avon Skin So Soft Renew and Refresh Body Lotion - A very subtle scent, a great price, and it isn't too thick Cuddle Dud's - Obviously not needed with today's 60 degree temps, but perfect for comfy laying through the winter! Manny's is BACK - Yes, it is officially re-opened in its new location, as of this past weekend - and we visited on Sunday afternoon. We were there a year and a half ago, the night it burned to the ground - so of course we had to go opening weekend! It is a bit different from the old Manny's - its absolutely huge in comparison! Their pizza and taco's are exactly the same, though, thank goodness :)

Bryton Playing Basketball

We are very proud of how well Bryton is playing basketball this year...he has come a long way since the beginning of the season, and his team is undefeated!
