2013 is a wrap for Erin

Just a few pictures to tie out 2013...

Hilton Head Island

A day with no plans ...  off for a hike in Hilton Head at the nature reserve.

 Where's the alligators?

Best place to see one from.  No we didn't see any.

 

 Salt marshes at low tide

 

a little bit of moss and lots of clam shells

 

 Lane spied this and was all excited - it's a palmetto frond from what I can tell.

Not alligator hair.

 

Walking the beach and finding lots of starfish and horsehead crabs

 

 a little bit of sun for the sleeping babe

 

Each day there was a variety of events at the resort.  Pretty sure this was hamburger bbq night.

 

Sorry there are no food pictures mom.  It was delish though.

lots of new

Thanksgiving, new baby, Christmas, New Year...

Flash forward to the end of a very long January.  Erin requires a bit more attention than Lane...

Baby Erin and big brother Lane - first snow day at home

 

 

Moving onto February will bring a few more posts and being on track.  

happy day

The Schwan man stopped by on his route tonight.  We don't always get stuff and tonight was one of those nights.  Mark wasn't home and I left Lane in the kitchen when I went to the door.  He gave me his specials and some coupons to use online for my next order cause you know that will get me to order next time... Lane wanted to know who it was and saying it was "Collin the Schwan man" didn't quite cut it.  He kept asking so I finally said the man who brings your broccoli.  Then he says "happy day"?  Yeah the "happy day" man.  Shouts of ice cream then started.  Happy day is another word for an ice cream cone.  We did get drumsticks over the summer and that was the night he'd get one to eat.  Happy Day comes from his favorite book "If You're Happy and You Know It" where a twist ice cream cone is shown on the page for twist around.  No other idea why he started calling ice cream cones happy day.  Being I was not in the mood for a battle he did get a happy day cone and I figured out he's not really after the ice cream, but the sugar cone as he started eating at the bottom.  He did listen when I told him he'd get all messy eating that way... remember last time.  Stinker.  He only got vanilla...  the pumpkin special is all mine!
