Well, I know…it has been forever since I last updated the blog. And that is the very reason it has taken me forever to even try. So instead of feeling like I have to do a comprehensive update, I will give little tidbits along with some pictures to show just a few of the things we have been up to this past month. Here goes.
1) We drove 22 hours through the night to get to Charleston SC. We left at 1PM and arrived at 11AM. It went as well as could be expected. For the most part the girls slept through the night which was our goal. Matt however got sick the last 4 hours of our journey which dropped our “grade” that we gave the trip from an A-/ B+ to an F.
2) We got to spend some good time with Nana and Reagpa and BB for a week before we headed to STP (Summer Training Project) in Myrtle Beach. This included lots of time in water. Sprinklers, pools, beaches and slip in slides were used to help adjust to the 100 degree weather.
3) We arrived in Myrtle Beach for STP. This is our hotel room where we spent the next month. 
The girls got to hang out with lots of other kids…all girls. There were 8 girls on project this year, all 3 or under. It was so much fun to have all of our friends in the same place as us to get constant play time with.
Annie and her BFF Maddux
My sweet little Lucy. She loved the sand…too much…she tried to eat it ALL THE TIME.
4) Lucy turned 9 months and started talking on her cell phone. She is holding a phone up to her ear (back of her head/ neck) in the picture.
5) Dad turned the big 30 this year and we had a party in his honor. All of our family went in on buying Matt a nice bike for his birthday. He celebrated by blowing out candles on his rice crispy cake with a bunch of two year olds. Good time!
6) We went to the very much over priced aquarium in Myrtle with our great friends. The older girls are able to enjoy more and more when we go out an do special things. Good thing considering the price of this outing!
7) Lots more beach time.
We have since come back to Charleston to spend most of the month of July with Matts family. More updates and pictures of that time to come.
