Our favorite local getaway

Bald Head Island is to us here what Santa Barbara was to us in LA. It takes about an hour to drive to the ferry and then about 20mins on the ferry and you arrive in paradise. A beautiful, quaint little island with no cars allowed (only golf carts and bikes) and yet so classically Southern coastal elegance in every way. Come to visit and we'll take you there. It is truly something you need to experience to understand. We have some dear friends that live on the island and so we go over even more often now.

The photos are from the kids 2nd Halloween which took place on the island on Nov. 1st.

It's snowing!

Ok, so it is only snow flurries, but it is still SNOW and we are thrilled!! Dane is so excited that he can hardly contain himself and his excitement is contagious to Beka even though she has no clue why she is so worked up! Mommy loves it too!

This week in Dane's world

Here is a glimpse into Dane's week. He helped mommy make pumpkin bread as part of our school work. We measured and mixed and tasted of course. He got his very own cool camo apron for his birthday. He built a castle all by himself without any grown-up input or help for the first time. We collected leaves on a nature walk in our neighborhood and made a Thanksgiving turkey for our cork board. We worked on subtraction from 13-1 down to 2-1. The boy loves math, especially when it involves Skittles and M&M's being subtracted from the plate into the belly!!! Oh, what fun it is to live in Dane's world.

Super Star

Look at me daddeeee. Little girl loves to talk, although you can only understand about 5% of what she is saying, but she has a lot to say. She loves to "talk" to her Teta on the phone. Loves to go to the library and most of all love to be out side.
