What a ham..

I know my days of having a little one at home are coming to an end... Ivy and I are lucky enough to get to spend all day together everyday. Living in a new place we have even more time together as there aren't many friends to play with yet and the last few days have been rainy and lonely. Ivy always knows how to spice up my day.

Models

My poor kids! I have been driving around here looking for places to take Photos and I have no choice but to make my kids my Models. They are SOO sick of it. Now that I have found a few great places I think I can give them a break for a while. But I thought I would show what great Models I have.







































































































































































































































Eli has had it! He complains the most about getting his picture "made" (that's what they say in the South.)

Yes ma'am!

Although we are not going to be living in the deep south for long there are a few things we really love and are going to miss.

#1 Our favorite is the respect they teach there children out here. the kids are expected to use "yes Ma'am" and "yes Sir" for everything. And out here if someone doesn't hear what you say instead of saying "what?" they say "Ma'am?" or "Sir?" The schools require it. It is a lesson that we have decided to continue after we move. Ivy is even getting great at it.

#2 We are still in the nineties in October.. The weather is perfect. Most of these Fall days are in the 70 - 80s.

#3 The people like our neighbors etc are SO friendly! The local people out here really full fill the Southern Hospitality. We have never felt so welcomed by people living around us.

#4 Living within 4 hrs of the Ocean and beaches.

There is LOTS we are not going to miss also ie- cockroaches, humidity etc. But I am choosing to focus on the positive.
