Hello from the beach!

If all goes well in a few minutes after this post I'll have some photos up. Just wanted to say we're here and we're having a great time.

Lindsay LOVES the ocean! She is becoming accepting of the sand and she's always liked the pool.

We have had two good nights of seafood so far. MBKimmie thanks for the rec's on the restaurants. We went to Nances the first night and Creek Ratz last night and really enjoyed both. Nances we had some issues with the scallops and had to send them back but Mike says their fried Oysters were the best he's ever had! Last night Creek Ratz didn't have scallops so I'm hoping to find some tonight!! But it was delicious...and I had crab cakes, fried shrimp and grouper bites so I didn't leave unhappy!

We're heading for one of those 120 item seafood buffet places tonight. I should find some scallops there. LIndsay has been eating great. She hardly wants her formula because she is eating so much table food.

Gotta run and let Mike try to get the camera software reloaded....check back in a bit.

Check out anniversary ticker

I put an anniversary ticker at the bottom of my page...check it out. With Lindsay's birthday only five days after, I should have it at the top I guess but that's the way it goes.

It's our FIVE year this year so we are celebrating our special milestone. However, as she did LAST year Lindsay is over shadowing it just a tad....but I guess that's the way it goes! HA!

Lindsay's First Trip to the Zoo

Today was Northside Volunteer Appreciation Day at the zoo. In past years Mike and I usually take Derek and Adam with us. This year Mike was busy with pre vacation duties so Karen and I took Lindsay. I wanted to get her pic on the statues of the lions since we have so many of Derek and Adam here. Lindsay was a bit afraid of the statues.
Check out her face here. She refused to let KK put her on one of the statues.
Here we are at the Pavillion and we ran into Tara and her son Evan. Lindsay and Evan had fun with each other. Evan will be six months old on 6/12 and it's hard to believe he and Lindsay are six months apart. In no time you won't even notice the six month difference between them.
Lindsay likes Evan
Tara & Lindsay

It was fun to swap babies for a few minutes. Evan is so sweet. I didn't have him long as you can see below.....................
KK had to take her turn! :P
Now we're off to the petting zoo. We saw sheep, goats & pigs here. Lindsay was a bit scared here too but eventually warmed up a bit and pet the goats.
Check out her body language here. Nothing doing...she has those feet firmly planted on Karen's leg.
Hey look at that....
I found a new friend!

Lindsay finally pets one of the old timers who politely sits there and takes it!
Check out her face here. Maybe we don't like it that much.
I loved this little black & white piggy! If you couldn't tell my black & white dog Freckles, my black dog Max and my black cat Midnight, I'm a sucker for black & white critters. I wanted to bring her home!
This one was cute too. Have you ever seen such a red headed pig?
The wild life show was fun. We had to make sure all of Lindsay's cheerios and such were stashed away so none of the birds of prey got any wise ideas.

Loved these colors!
Here is Mr. Elephant. Lindsay was not that into him. I do have to wonder though...do all kids who grow up in Ga and come only to this zoo think elephants are ORANGE?
...and rhinos too?
Look! Lindsay spots a GIRAFFE!!!!
There he is having some lunch!

KK & Lindsay acting like the monkeys...
Nap time...we just couldn't hang anymore.
Thanks for going to the zoo Karen...we had a great time.

Once Lindsay passed out Karen and I spent some time watching the gorillas. Several of my pics came out too blury but here are the best ones.
Love this pic of the mama and her two babies.

All in all it was a successful day at the zoo. As usual Lindsay was an angel baby. It will be fun to take her next year and see how much she really gets in to it. Today was Karen's day to enjoy Lindsay as she won't get to see her for a week. This is why there are no pics of me here with Lindsay. I did have a few pics with her but they were during a top secret event that has to do with Father's Day so I can't post them just yet. Check back after Father's day and I will post what we were doing...

On a side note we are packed and ready to leave (thanks KAREN for helping out with Linds tonight) so I am off to bed. Myrtle Beach here we come! If all goes well I should be able to post some pics on Monday or Tuesday from the beach. If not, we'll see ya'll when we get back!

Disney's Desperate Housewives

I got this in an email yesterday and thought it was too cute not to share.

Mike's sister and family are just getting back from Disney this weekend so I thought they may get a chuckle out of it. Lindsay and I are off to the zoo today. The Baby and I are OFFICIALLY on vacation! Daddy is still getting ready to be on vacation. We're leaving him to it today. Hope everyone has a great weekend. We'll try to post pics from the zoo tonight. Also, it looks as though I will be able to BLOG from the BEACH!! All of you riveted Lindsay fans won't have to wait a whole week for that first picture of her dipping her toes in the ocean! OH I CAN'T WAIT!

Trying out our toddler rocker 5/31/07

Lindsay likes this rocker a lot. She can "rock" across the room on the hardwood floors to where ever she wants to go. This is another great toy from cousins' Derek & Adam.

Lindsay likes to "pat her belly" and we say "ALL DONE" when she finishes eating. This is her in the beginning of that belly pat...
This is the belly pat...it looks better on video or in person.
Another famous "tongue" picture.

A few pics from Memorial Day

Better late than never. I only took a couple pics that day. Lindsay is sporting her Old Navy 2007 Flag shirt. Mommy has a matching blue tee and Daddy has a white one. We didn't get it together enough to all wear our shirts this day though. Maybe we'll get it right on July 4th.
Lindsay had just gotten up and dressed and was really not in the mood for a photo shoot yet.
Ok....feed me please...no more photos til after breakfast!

Lindsay's Birthday Dress

Here is the dress we ordered for Lindsay's birthday photo shoot.
I tried to just post the photo but for some reason that would not work so click HERE to see it.

This website is super cute and pretty reasonable. They also have a cool blog I'm going to add to my page.

I have a great idea for her photo shoot that I think will look really cool with this dress. Stay tuned later in June for pics. We're probably going to take her to get them done on June 16 but I haven't scheduled it yet. I can't believe it's JUNE already. 19 days til Lindsay is 1!!!!!!!! Where did the time go???? This is going to be a blogger BUST month with vacation, anniversary and Lindsay's bday my blog might explode!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is Lindsay's first trip to the zoo. I can't wait to take her. We have a special zoo day thru my work so it's free. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be taking her quite yet but I'm sure she'll have fun. Aunt KK and mommy are taking her while Daddy gets all his stuff done so we can head off to the beach.
I'll post pics Saturday night.

Thanks Aunt KK for coming with us tomorrow and for house/critter sitting while we're gone.
