Medieval Times






For her birthday dinner, Morgan picked Medieval Times. (go figure) The "wench" told her that the vegetable soup was dragon eyeballs, snails & scales. (It's hard enough to get kids to eat vegetables without telling them that it's body parts!) It took 20 minutes to convince her to try it, now she thinks it's just funny. Her favorite part was when the Knight kissed a flower & threw it to her. That's all we need, boys! And with that, we ended our birthday celebration! Now it is back to the real world, but if anyone wants to come visit, the beach is 2 hours away, and it is spectacular! Come one, come all!

The Beach






Morgan took to the beach like a fish to water! Ha! I thought the salt water would bother my little "princess & the pea" but she didn't care. She just wanted to ride the waves. Stephen had a blast too. I think his favorite part must have been when we buried him in the sand (twice!) What a great dad!

Myrtle Beach





Morgan had a very eventful 4th Birthday. She was so cute when she woke up that morning, she asked us to hold her up to the bathroom mirror to see if she had grown from 3 to 4. Of course, she had! We went to Ripley's Aquarium that morning at Myrtle Beach. She got to pet these huge crab things and tried to pet the stingrays. Lots of fun!

Time with Emma Jean






Right before we left for South Carolina, Morgan & I spent a week with our friends in Missouri. It seemed like "summer camp" for her. We picked Strawberries, went to an UnBirthday party, Identified different butterflies, and topped it off with Chuck E. Cheese. We had a blast.

Edventure in Columbia, SC





This past weekend we went to a Children's Museum for Morgan, although Stephen & I didn't think it was the best, she loved it, so I guess that's all that matters. There was an 80 ft. boy named Eddy that you could climb on & in the back you could climb on his insides. Kids seemed to really like playing in it.

Birthday Party




Morgan's birthday is this Sat. (We are taking her to Myrtle Beach) but before we left Lincoln, I took her & a couple of friends to Chuck E. Cheese. All was well, until you give 3 girls sunglasses, cupcakes & rootbeer. Then they get nuts! They had a wonderful time, I know Morgan is going to miss them so much.

South Carolina



Well, we made it to South Carolina! Still not in our house, but should be in 2 weeks. We are living in a one bedroom apt. but I think Morgan sleeping on the floor in the closet builds character. The drive was 20 hours so we took two days, Sarah, the cat, had a lot to say about that! She wimpered the whole way, but is back to her old self now. Morgan & I are having fun exploring Columbia while we bide our time here. Today we went to a beautiful outside mall, the movies & an ice cream shop. Most days she spends in the pool. She is going to miss the apt. pool. Just want to let you guys know we are still kicking. (And speaking of kicking, this little BOY in me is kicking up a storm!)
