The blog is alive and well and so are we!

Well it has been too damn long since last post and I am not really sure where to start. So I will let you know, Casey, Jackson has not yet grown a beard...the postings have been slow but not that slow. More like how slow I am on the bike right now. Anyway I wanted to get back to our trip with Aunt Debbie to Folley Beach. If you remember I was going to tell you the story about Tanner and his off road adventure. It all started out when we decided to walk down the old road out to the lighthouse on Folley Beach. The road has been closed for years but there are still some old concrete foundations scattered about the roadway. It is really interesting to imagine what they used to be, old trader buildings, government buildings, slave trader dwellings, or maybe an old saloon or two? Who knows? Well Tanner found a big walking stick and decided to go off road and do a little exploring. All was well until we heard the faint, slightly scared voice calling out for Mom. As we looked back to see Tan we spied him walking very gingerly among the flora, never taking his eyes off of the ground. When he finally made it to concrete we were stunned to see that he had jumped into a field full of nasty Cacti. Click on the pictures to see how big these damn things were. And to top it off they were like Velcro, every time you tried to pry one off of his pants they would stick to you! Thank God that his flip flops had a leather foot bed to them or it could have been really worse. But Tan is a tough little guy, never shed a tear, never complained. What a trooper. If my big arse would have been with him in my $1.98 Wal-Mart special flip flops I would have been in serious trouble. But his cat like reflexes saved his skinny little butt.

We have a lot to catch you all up on but this it for now. Have to go take care of my little man. He is two months old today, or for all you mom's out there...8 weeks old. He is now up to the big weight of 10 pounds and three ounces. But very unhappy about having to get five shots this morning. Can't blame him. More pictures to come. And by the way...just wanted to let you know how lucky I am to have such a wonderful, beautiful family. I have been truly blessed.

Thanks for reading, Y'all tune in again soon.
