LIFE IS GOOD


We went on our first vacation with Annie to Kiawah Island outside of Charleston, SC. It was a 12 hour car ride. Jack and Annie did great. We went into Charleston one evening for dinner. Annie was a celebrity just like Jack was in China. She had on the cutest dress and was carrying a Life is Good bag. People stopped to talk and comment on her every few steps. Erich was loving life with his little girl. Annie was fearless of the beach and the pool. She has no fear of water (which was kind of scary at times). This is pretty amazing considering two months ago she hated to take a bath.

Life is good!!!

Annie waves to the camera.


Jack made the statue crack a smile with his look of amazement.


Jack is still stopping to smell the flowers. Annie does too!

Annie loves the beach.

Two toddlers running on the beach makes for an exhausting (but fun) day!
Annie has the best balance.

We have to have a snack break.

Cousin Jacelyn came to visit from Myrtle Beach. Jack and Annie love her.
