Loving life in May!

We are having a great May here in Greenville! My parents swung into town on Saturday for lunch and garden time, we loved it! We are enjoying the warm weather and preparing for our trip to Florida in two weeks. Ain't life grand...

Asheville, love it!

Dave and I went to see Widespread Panic in Asheville this weekend, it was a great getaway. We stayed at Hotel Indigo, which is amazing! We also ate great meals at Lexington Avenue Brewing and Neo Cantina - and I even dragged him shopping. As much as Dave works, it makes us just appreciate a great weekend with wonderful food and music. Ain't life grand!

Trix is six! Our sweet girl's birthday!

Beatrice turned six today - she got a carrot pupcake and a new bone! Happy birthday to our favorite girl!

Grand Rounds? Yep, check!

Smiles of two relieved people!! Dave presented his grand rounds speech today on hypoparathyroidism and calcium complications. It only took 8 months of research and one hour to present - that's all!! I am SOOO super proud of him! One step closer to graduation and one step closer to Florida! I love DSC! He's a great surgeon and an amazing person. Go Dave!

"Aunt Ginny?!? Can you spend the night?"

I flew to Virginia on March 17 to surprise Josie! The small plane was worth it to see her face when I landed -- first was the scream "Aunt Ginny!" and next was "Can you spend the night?" She turned 6 on March 9 and although I missed her birthday I made up for it with this trip! I got to visit her school on March 18 - ate lunch with her, met her teacher and classmates, and saw her classroom. Even got to play on the playground!

She is in Kindergarten at a wonderful school in Williamsburg and is learning to read. I got to hear her read three books!

I loved having sister/niece time with my family! We also went to Norfolk Zoo on Saturday - it was the perfect size for an afternoon visit.

We went to the prairie dog houses and saw lots of animals like kangaroos!

They also had an African exhibit with lions, elephants, and giraffes!

It was an amazing afternoon with two of my favorite people!

We especially liked the elephants, although Josie was scared she'd fall in the elephant habitat!

Josie took many pictures with her own camera, she's now a scrapbooker too - must run in the family!

Missed Dave so much on this trip but got to see Phish's favorite spot - the Hampton - from the interstate! Emailed him the picture so he'd feel like he was with us too!! :)

And the sun came out...

It feels like Spring and we are soaking up the sunshine. Lots of fun activities coming up too - a trip in March to see Josie, Asheville Widespread Panic in April, and the trip to Boca Raton in June. The countdown begins....stay tuned!

10 years!

On January 12, 2001 I met a man that would change my life! To quote a favorite lyric from Phish, "You decide what it contains, how long it goes but this remains, the only rule is it begins. Happy, happy all my friends!" How happy I am on this day!
