April 26th - May 11th, 2013

Hi Everyone!

Our little man is growing strong. He's using his hands more to reach for things. I found him with his hand hanging onto his dangling toy the other day. Looked pretty impressive for him. Although I don't think it was completely purposeful. :)

 Micah ran in a 5K race the weekend before last and did great! I've been proud of him making a point to stay physically fit.

 Faithful fans...

 Seth's favorite ride.. the "Carosef"
 

 Micah and I had a great time in Charleston last weekend for our anniversary. It is such a beautiful place!

 Micah has roses waiting for me at the hotel. Did I mention he's the best husband ever?

 Neither of us had been to Charleston before. I didn't realized how full of historical landmarks it is. It was neat to walk all over town and see the old houses.

We got to eat at the world famous (so they say) Hyman's Seafood. Lots of famous people have eaten there. I sat at the same table as Neil Armstrong once did and Micah sat where Barbara Streisand did. 

 We decided not to do a garden this year since we have little Owen to take care of. We did discover some carrot tops coming up from last year that we never harvested. (too bad all garden plants can't be perennials!) We dug one up and surprisingly, it tasted pretty normal. Seth here doing his rabbit impersonation. Not sure if it's on purpose or not. :)

Another highlight of this time of year is getting to go strawberry picking at a local farm. We picked almost 12 pounds of the ruby beauties and hopefully we get to go back a few more times so we can put more in the freezer or (if I'm feeling really ambitious) can some strawberry jam.

As Blake was coming inside from playing, Micah asked him why the back of his shirt was covered in dirt. Blake replied, "I was making an angel in the grass."

While driving through town, Blake asked, "What does KFC spell?". 

Hope you all are doing well!

Love, 

Kari, Micah, Blake, Seth and Owen
