Audrey's first birthday

An alligator near where we live. I'm no expert, but I think that's actually a crocodile.

Some Recent Pics

I hadn't realized it before (mostly because I hadn't tried) but it's not too hard to add pictures to the blog. So here are some pictures from the last few months for your enjoyment. -- Ryan

This is what we ogle

Every weekend (well we try to limit it to every weekend) we take a 20 min. drive to Pooler, GA to visit our construction site which will someday be our first house. We are slightly obsessive.

"Ryan, look the electrical outlets are in! I just love electrical outlets."

"Hey Amie, there's plumbing for the laundry room sink."

Look at this nail, isn't this wood beautiful, where should we put the lamp...

We flirt with it, we watch for any detail to change or anything new to be added.

For those of you not quite as interested, here is a summary in pictures of where we are to this point.

The lot

This is pretty much what it looked like last time we saw it.

And through the magic of the internet... (ok well it is the magic of taking pictures at a model home before ours ever started going up) you can see what the finished product will look like. Kind of. More or less.

Oh No, My Poop

Madilyn comment of the morning:
After she flushes, she says, "Oh no! My poop is leaving. I really really love my poop."
Toilet humor, always a staple.

Oh how I have waited

Like a worn-out Mommy waits for naptime (or church nursery)... I have waited for these photos to arrive in my mailbox. I'm sure there are funnier comparisons (Charlotte or Heidi - where are you??) but naptime is the other thing I'm always anticipating. Anyway, we found a wonderful photographer here in Savannah and we just got our pics back from the photo shoot at Forsyth park. She was awesome... and also we are an incredibly photogenic family. Why give the professional photographer all the credit?These look even better if you click on them.

Those eyes!!

This is my handsome husband. I did well in the marrying department.

She sucked her fingers through the whole thing.

I love this one. Madilyn is trying to tickle Audrey.
