The Past Few Weeks

It feels like it has been forever since I last posted anything! Not much was going on at the beginning of the month and we were lucky enough to have company for the last week of the month.
Grandma and Grandpa Beckstead came for a visit for a few days and we had a great time. Here are some of the things we did:

We went on a trolley tour around Savannah.

We went to River Street in Savannah

Grandma and Grandpa figuring out where we need to go.

We also went to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina to play in the ocean, but I didn't get any pictures.

The day after Grandma and Grandpa Beckstead left we had Grandpa Heywood and his fiancee, Patti, come visit.

We also went to River Street (I never get tired of that place)...

and the museum on Fort Stewart.
We drove up to Hilton Head to go to the beach, but once we got there a big storm was coming in and we decided against it. Instead we went swimming down the street in our complex pool and had a great time.

The kids got along great with Patti. We look forward to getting to know Patti more in the future.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIME GRANDMA AND GRANDPA BECKSTEAD AND GRANDPA HEYWOOD AND PATTI! WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALREADY!

Now that company is out of town I am sad to say that Rob has to go out of town for a month. About 5,000 soldiers here at Fort Stewart are heading away for the month for training before they deploy. Training is a good thing, but we don't like to see him go for so long.

Maggie's Birthday and Carnival Fun!

Maggie had a fun Birthday. We are pretty mild when it comes to celebrating Birthdays, but we invited ourselves to go to dinner with some friends and had a great time!
Paisley and Easton gave Maggie the Snow White dress up set and Maggie was in heaven.
Paisley did a great job helping Maggie get all dressed up.
It was the perfect gift because Rob and I got Maggie the Snow White doll.
We went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant and Maggie got to wear a pink sombrero!
(I forgot my camera so we only got cell phone pictures--sorry about the terrible quality!)

On the 3rd we went the the free Carnival on post. Maggie immediately got in line for the Carousel! Dylan is a bit more reserved and opted to stand on the side and wave to Maggie every time she went around.

Maggie wanted to go on all the rides even if she had to go by herself!

Dylan finally went on the train and then told me that he wanted to try something new and go on the slide. I was a bit nervous because I know he is afraid of heights, but he was a brave boy and had a great time! Here is a video of him on the slide (Pause the play list before watching the video):


Hopefully he will be a brave boy when we go to Disney World in a few months!
