Char-la-stin: Round 2

{Once again, hold onto your hats and grab a seat.  LOTS of pictures.  Lots.  And, Lots.  And LOTS.}

Sunday night, we headed to a Riverdogs game upon the suggestion of the kind owner of Charleston Night Out, who told us it was Family night—kids got into the game and ate for free!  Oh, how fun!  This was our babes’ first baseball game, and they LOVED it!IMG_4989

This picture makes me laugh out loud!IMG_4956IMG_4954 IMG_4945 IMG_4952

“Uncle Yar-Wa” (aka: Laura) and Uncle “Chris-TO-FERRR” were are gracious hosts for the week!  The boys woke up every single morning asking “Where Uncle Yar-Wa”  “Where Uncle Chris-TO-FERRR”?  They loved playing with them, and everywhere we’ve gone this week, the boys want to know if they’ll be there!  IMG_4955

Sugie did an excellent job of explaining her favorite sport to Hudsey :)  IMG_4961

The game was very serious.  :) IMG_4962

Mr. P has baseball in his blood!  He is so cute! IMG_4993

The Riverdogs won three loyal fans that night!

And, on Monday morning, our long awaited visitor, Miss Ridley, arrived!

While Meg and I didn’t actually live together in college, we say that we did.  :)  And, we were both so excited to find out we were pregnant at the same time!  Our girls were born 3 weeks apart!  Meg, Ridley, and sweet Aunt Jill made the trip from Greenville to come and visit!  Ridley is SO PRECIOUS, and she and Anna are surely going to love living together at UVA in about 19 years.  :)

It was so much fun to finally be able to squeeze and smooch Ridley!  Oh, I just loved it! IMG_5010

And, it meant so much to me that they drove across SC to visit with us.  Such dear friends!  We cannot wait to see ya’ll soon!IMG_5005

We headed out to the beach so Ridley could meet the big boys . . . they were quite busy.  IMG_5021 IMG_5022

Ridley gave a big ole kiss before saying her goodbyes.  Hilarious!  Oh, how I wish we lived closer to each other! photo (7)

After our visiting, we switched into beach mode.  Little Miss is sporting an adorable giraffe shirt that Unkie got her from South Africa.  She may have been showing a little skin due to her chubby tummy, but we thought she was precious.  I love this picture of her and her Daddy!
