We just got back from a fun and relaxing trip to Seabrook Island in South Carolina. My sister Laura came with us, which made the trip perfect. Plus she took a lot of great pictures, which I'll post soon. Here are some pictures from my camera:
Dinnertime after spending hours at the beach.
This boy loves to eat. He made a face while trying green beans, but he still ate the whole container. He screams REALLY loud if you don't feed him fast enough.
Daddy got the kids some bubbles and bubble foam. They love it.
We had a lovely family outing to the Yellow River Game Ranch on Saturday, where we saw animals up close and got to feed them. There were a lot of babies, including this goat, which was smaller than a toaster. I embarrassed myself by oohing and aahing for probably three minutes. It was really cute though.
Audrey shocked us with her bravery. Usually any moving creature causes a panic attack, but she did alright, even helping to feed the fawns.
Too bad the picture is blurry: I love the expression on this donkey's face.
That's one ugly pig. It just stood in the middle of the path and stared. I had to run Audrey past; this guy did intimidate her.
Yesterday we went to the DragonCon parade in downtown Atlanta, where all the sci-fi and fantasy fans come out of hiding. It was awesome. Incredible costumes; so much fun!
The first thing we saw: Audrey was instantly terrified, and stayed nervous for the remainder of the parade. But she didn't cry or ask to leave, so it counts as a success! 
Frodo!
Famous people!! (Bo and Daisy Duke from Dukes of Hazzard) 
Spaceballs!
Drizella and Anastasia 
Monty Python, complete with coconuts! 
Slytherin Quidditch team 
Steampunk
This warrior asked to buy Ian (and Amber's baby), stating that these are desperate times and baby flesh is so tender. Creepy!! 
One of many awesome Star Trek costumes. 
Storm Troopers! Check out the little one. We have more fabulous pictures, but this post is getting long. Definitely a fun family day!
After literally hundreds of hours, I finally finished Ian's stocking cross stitch. I'm taking it to my mom's in a few weeks where we'll transform this into a Christmas stocking. I need a long break from cross stitch, so no more babies for awhile! :)
Audrey and I have been learning the alphabet over the past several months, and this week we finished! Now on to something new...eventually.
Audrey has this dress from being a flower girl at Sam's wedding. I found a set of wings and halo, and voila, Halloween costume! Audrey will be an angel, and Ian will be a little devil. I might make a different halo for Audrey, if I get to it. She enjoyed flying around the house in her new look.
I love this outfit from Aunt Verneda. Then I ruined it in the laundry, washing it with a new blue towel (I'm a bit distracted, is that any kind of excuse?). I'm trying to get the blue streaks out...
Ian adores Audrey, especially when she's dancing and singing--it makes him giggle.
"Mommy, can I pump my boobies?" Um, okay, good luck with that.
Daddy and Ian, about to head to church.
