  • Daddy and Sky Sky

    Father / daughter bonding at the beach. Eventually my hopes are that this will morph into surfing and hiking trips 🙂

  • Skylar and Sea Shells

    Sea shells are amazing, but then again everything is amazing when you’re almost 1 year old.

  • GEM Studios NC

    We spent Friday night in Wilmington before we could get into the beach house on Saturday so that we could travel (for 6 hours) after Skylar had gone to sleep. We got in around 1:00am and promptly went to sleep.

    Skylar woke up at her usual time, about 7:00am and we headed out for breakfast and to checkout GEM Studios, the second largest film studio in the US. One Tree Hill is filmed there and we got to check out the set. Unfortunately neither Susan nor I watch that show so we couldn’t relate, but it was interesting anyway.

  • Skylar Poolside

    All that heat and sand can be a drag. Sometimes you just want to chill poolside and order up some fruit smoothie margaritas, hold the alcohol… and the margarita mix. Here are pics of Skylar enjoying her blow up pool at TopSail beach.

  • Beach group pics

    Skylar’s cousins are quite photogenic and love to ham it up for the camera. Checkout the photo that is remiscent of Skylar’s youthful days a few months ago when she never left the house without sporting the hawk.

  • Beach Bunny

    Susan, Skylar, and I were recently at Topsail beach with my fathers side of the family. Sklyar loved the beach, and made sure that the rest of us stayed safe by recommending sunscreen lotion and frequent naps.

  • July 4th

    This year was chill. We walked down the road to a neighborhood get together. Skylar is a bit young to participate at some of our neighborhood gatherings. Most of the kids are toddlers to 7 years old.

    I was trying to remember what we did last year. We went to National Harbor and dog sat for a friend. It was a fun and free weekend getaway right before welcoming Skylar to the world. Our “babymoon” if you will. Below are some pics of our holiday from the Harbor.

  • Easter, seriously and meaningfully

    These pictures crack me up.  She was in such a grumpy mood for Easter and she would NOT smile, not matter what the photographer (Michael) tried.  It wasn’t like she was crying or upset, just that day she was a serious, unhappy baby.  Maybe it was the dress???
