Welcome!

We are settling in nicely after our somewhat abrupt move to Charleston. We've got a cute little condo on James Island, which is just across the Ashley River from downt
own, and minutes to Folly Beach. We're slowly furnishing the place and getting settled. The kids have adjusted well.  Big N is working at a busy restaurant across the river from downtown called California Dreaming. He's rotating between the inside and outside bars. Outside he gets to wear his shades and watch as customers dock their boats before dining. Sweet. I am going to try my hand at club life and work at Country Club of Charleston. I'm excited for the change of pace and new opportunity. 

Kid News (quick up-to-date for some of you.)

N is the proud new owner of 2 bottom teeth. He recently learned to clap and is a food eating machine! Seriously, thighs of a warrior!

M loves having a pool right outside our backdoor. She is learning not to scratch her bug bites. Actually, I've taught her a bit too well because every time I touch my skin I get a "don't scratch it, you'll make it worse!" She also loves all the bridges here, her favorite being the Cooper River, or "triangle" bridge, as she calls it. She loves throwing sticks into the marsh behind our condo, watching the fish jump for flies, and playing at the beach. M's only request is that we find her a beach without any sand. Sigh.
