A photo of the beautiful live oak trees at Charlestown landing and Jacob pulling his wagon.
This is our house, we love it and look forward to having so many memories here!
This is 1 half of our garden the week after we planted it early last month, I will make sure to take an updated photo and post it here soon.

Finally an update...Visiting with Nana and more

We have been SUPER busy lately and just had a wonderful fun filled visit with Nana!! Jacob is so much fun right now and is really developing a great personality. He is SUPER talkative, ask Nana she saw it for herself, has a TON of energy and is so lovable. He loves to go to Home Depot, go figure as that is Don's favorite store, Jacob makes sure he points out Home Depot each time we drive by. He also will grab my purse and start to act as if he is going to walk out the back door and he will say "Buh-Bye, I'm going to Home Depot to get paint." He also loves pointing out each and every Jeep Wrangler on the road it all started after Don brought home a loaner Wrangler when they ended up forgetting to put oil in my car and the engine seized up. He's doing great at school and learning so much, he's been potty trained throughout the day since January and in March we decided to stop the diapers at night too and we have been accident free, whohoo! I think he may have been the easiest child to potty train which we are so thankful for. Recently, we got him a twin size bed and furniture and have turned his bedroom into a surfer's room it's really cute and he will hopefully love his room for awhile. We all have been enjoying our new home and have built a garden filled with blueberry, raspberry, tomato, and pepper plants. I am happy to report that we have been getting raspberries for the last 2 weeks and we have a ton of green tomatoes! Nana visited us last week and I had few days off from work to spend with her and we all enjoyed ourselves. Jacob still is telling me how Nana went back in an airplane to Michigan to see Bapa, so sweet. He loved every minute of having her here, the day she left I picked him up from daycare and the first thing he said was "Where did Nana go?, I want to see Nana". We stayed busy with going to Charlestown landing, a local play park, Folly Beach, and Riverbanks Zoo. The weather was beautiful in the high 70s-80 with little humidity. Jacob had a great time at the beach building "houses" in the sand and playing in the water, he didn't want to leave and is still talking about going back to the beach. We decided to get him a big boy bike with training wheels, he still is unsure as to how to peddle and asks us to push him but I look forward to him figuring out how to peddle. He is getting so big as you can see from the pictures and saying y'all! Funny that he says y'all because we don't say that but I know he hears it often at school and when we are out so it was only a matter of time before it was going to happen.
