River Island

My parents are building a house in River Island, which is a conservation community, meaning that its like living in a nature preserve! They are situated right across from the Savannah River. The neighborhood has boardwalks that meander all around the shoreline. Its beautiful and we all anxiously look forward to them getting into the house sometime in the next 2 months! Here are a couple of pictures.

Some Family Photos

Will goes to church!

Will made his first appearance at Christ Church on Easter morning. The three of us sat in the "cry room" as they call it - a room with one sided, sound proof glass so that mothers with young children can participate in the service. It was a great idea. Everyone had a nice time!

2 Months Old!

Will is now 2 months old! We can't believe how fast he's growing. At his checkup today he weighed 12 lbs 10 oz and was 25 3/4 inches long! He is in the 90th percentile for height - I think he's going to be tall. He's grown a lot. My little cub will be a bear soon! (haha). The doctor said he's doing great and just thriving. We're so proud of him! And he barely cried when he got his shots. Sooo brave! Here are 2 pictures of him in his choo choo train nursery.

Will and Sarah

Aunt Sarah was kind enough to watch Will for me while I went to a wedding shower for one of my dear friends here in Columbia - Erin - who is getting married in April. Will had such a fun time with Sarah! He just loves her! Here he is playing in his Baby Einstein gym - a gift from Don and Jenny Townsend.

Granpa and Will

Will loves to sleep on Granpa's chest. Something about Granpa automatically comforts him and puts him right to sleep. Which is wonderful for all of us! Even me - who gets a break. Notice how Will is gripping Granpa's shirt. This is something new he's been doing. (For all of you who follow our blog, not familiar with our family, this is my father.)

Nena and Will

Nena came to visit Will and I while Brian was away on business. We had a great time and Will sure does love her! You can see him checking her out in this picture. (For all of you who follow the blog, not familiar with our family - this is Brian's mother.)
