Catching Up

Sunset over Morgan Creek, I.O.P.

Love those smiles!

Liam had his 2 month check up on May 10 and came away with a spotless report card once again. 13 pounds, 24 inches...the boy is growing like a weed! We just got home from a week at the beach, Isle of Palms, SC. Our first family vacation was awesome. Liam slept all the way to Orangeburg on the way down. Stopped for a quick meal and then he was back asleep until we reached the house. We enjoyed taking rides on the golf cart (Liam strapped to mom in the baby carrier) walks on the beach, strolls through the neighborhood, visits with college friends, haning out on the dock, and of course plenty of fishing for Will. Liam was such a good guy, allowing us a peaceful dinner out one night (slept through it) and was overall just amazing. On the ride home, he slept the entire 4 hours and didn't make a peep until the airport exit. With a quick rub on the head and a pacifier in the mouth, he went back to sleep until we reached Valley Lane. We are all happy to be home, thankful to have had the time and house to vacation and look forward to the next trip to the land of deliciuous salt air and seafood. Here are some pics from our time away. Hope everyone is enjoying the month of May! Love, Will, Liam and Kelly



Don't bother me, I'm on vacation.

Happy Mother's Day

Liam wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all of the mom's that stay in touch. Took mom out for lunch with Nana 1 and 2, Rice and Pearlman, it was splendid. Love Ya'll Liam, Will, Kelly

Easy Like Sunday Mornin'

We woke up to a happy little guy today! It seems to be the norm lately, nothing but smiles (as long as he has a full belly and dry bum). Liam is such a content babe, already independent and very expressive. Here are a few good smiles we captured this morning after finally pulling ourselves out of bed.






And a few more random shots over the last week....

Week 7

Love his heart! Love my days off!





View from Buzzards Rock. Glorius day!


Week 7 is nearing the end. Liam is growing like crazy. Beginning to smile more now and just the sight makes my heart smile. Kelly has been getting out and doing some mommy time activities and really enjoying herself. I tell you the weather sure has been awesome and everything is beginning to come to life. Decided to take half the day off and come home and hang with Liam and Kelly. Got to take the GTI for a ride and got some great shots along the way. Well take care evryone and thanks for everything. Will,Kelly,Liam

Week 6

Week 6 is almost over, so I figured I better post some photos! This week has been so sweet, I have been getting good smiles and coos out of Liam, and he is making it through the night with one feeding instead of two! That makes for happy baby and mom. Will has been super busy at work, putting in 12 hour days so we are all looking forward to a rainy weekend, lord knows he needs it as does the earth! Hope everyone had a good week and Happy Earth Day! Love your Mother!!!
xoxo Kelly, Will and Liam

Week 5

We have been enjoying this amazing weather, taking walks around the neighborhood and potting plants on the deck. Liam loves to be outside just like his mom and dad. As he is apprioaching 6 weeks, he is holding his head up for longer periods and is getting very strong! He is dishing out smiles and cooing, every day is something new and it is beautiful to watch him grow and change. His Nana Hoodie got him a fun activity mat that he has been enjoying. We hope to have a farm some day, so we thought that the farm theme was appropriate for him to learn about all of the animals. Hope everyone has had a good week! Cheers to another fabulous weekend ; ) Love, Kelly, Will and Liam




Here are my two favorite men cuddled up after Liam had a bath.

Liam's First Party

Sunday was an amazing day, I love spring time in these mountains. Will and I took advantage of it and loaded up Liam and Jake and headed out for a picnic down by the ole French Broad River. Will caught a fish or two and we soaked up some sun and breezes. In the early evening we took Liam to the birthday party for our friend Jenny and he was the hit with the ladies! Here he is chilling with two hotties, birthday girl Jenny and Karen. It is so nice to be able to get out and see our friends and take our son with us. I look forward to watching him grow up with so many loving and fun people in his life!

I suppose it has been a bit obvious that Will is back to work since there haven't been daily posts. I hope to get a little better at it, but sometimes balancing a 5 week old and a camera just doesn't work! Not to mention the time to sit at the computer and post. I will do my best to post more frequently. Hope everone has a good week! Lots of love, Will, Kelly and Liam
