Memorial Day

I am grateful for those men and women who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. I am thankful for all those who serve our country especially my hubby. America, what a great place to live!

Charleston Day 1

We were able to get away for a few days to Charleston. I have wanted to go there since we moved here 6 years ago and I am glad we did. It is a beautiful city with lots of history. We spent the first day walking around downtown, visiting Waterfront Park, The Market and Rainbow Row. Ethan loves birds and had a great time running around chasing them. The homes were beautiful and very colorful. We had wonderful weather the entire trip, it was great!

We learned that when the Market was built it was known as the Slaves Market though no slaves were ever sold there. It was named that because the slaves worked there selling goods. We also found out that Charleston was know as the Holy City because of the many churches they had.

MS Walk

We walked to help create a world free of MS

Our friends mom has MS and we were able to join her team for the 5 mile walk in support of finding a cure. Ethan was a trooper the whole time, he walked a little slow but sat in the stroller most of the time. Aliana did great almost the entire way, though she got a little fussy the last 1/4 mile. In our thoughts today were also our Aunt Barbara and Cousin Karena who also have MS. This is a great cause to support and I look forward to doing it annually. This was a great way to celebrate Elisha's birthday, who turned 33 today!

Strawberry Fields Forever

Today Elisha was home from work so we decided to go strawberry picking. We went with a friend and Ethan had a great time with his friends. It was a beautiful morning not too hot or muggy. Ethan enjoyed picking few and eating many strawberries. We had a great time and brought home almost 7lbs. I am thinking I will attempt fruit roll ups, I found an easy recipe online that looked good. I hope it turns out good.
