"You might be a redneck if . . . " And Party with the Merritts (the two are not related, we swear!)

What rednecks do on a lazy Saturday afternoon: put lawnchairs in the front yard and watch the "traffic" go by (whilst sweet-but-slow golden retriever lays nearby)

The Penguins Are Here! Here're Grace and our friend Jackson at the brand-new penguin exhibit at the Aquarium (in March).


The Merritt Extravaganza
We visited the Merritts in North Augusta Apr. 9-11. Had a BLAST. Daddy went to the Masters Golf Tournament on Friday with Russ while Lizzie and Mommy played with the kiddos. Chance had his first jump on a trampoline with the boys--and, of course, LOVED it.

Jack and Charles "hid" Easter eggs for the younger kids . . . and . . . well, Jack and Charles also dug a hole in the yard--trying to create their own tunnel system, they said. BOYS! :-)

Lizzie prepped the egg dye and the twins dyed Easter eggs for the first time (um, this was BEFORE the Easter Egg Hunt, but you probably guessed that).
Charles shows Chance how to do it.
Grace: "Oh, Jack. You're my hero." Seriously, folks. She was smitten.

VIDEO of fun with the Merritts outside toys. Real men drive pink Barbie cars. Right, Charles?

I'm soooo jealous! (not about sitting in the front yard but about visiting with you and the kids). I would love to see you all!!! When do you think we can try to make plans again to meet somewhere? Lots of love to you!
