Norah's 8th Birthday Weekend and Catching up on life lately...

I was doing such a good job of posting pics pretty regularly in June but then got behind. So let's unload a ton of pics and make a really long post!

Norah turned 8 on June 28. This girl is my everything and I enjoy every moment with her...seriously my mini me! I cannot believe looking at pictures from the last 8 years on how much she has changed and grown. She is the most fun and I seriously love spending my summer days with her! Jeff had promised her a trip to the water park for her birthday...and they had a blast!





Norah got so many gifts from family and friends...she was in heaven! Plus she loved getting all the packages in the mail.





Also Jeff's mom came to visit and was able to stay with us for a little over 2 weeks which encompassed Norah's birthday and July 4th. Norah misses having VeeVee living with her!


We had a little get together for Norah's birthday and asked her what she wanted to eat...steak and crab legs! Ha! That is my girl. So that is what we had...crab legs eaten outside...


And of course Norah requested her Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie instead of a birthday cake. They loved the hair chalk!








Following Norah's birthday we had visitors in town! Our old neighbors from Charlotte came in town to stay in Murrells Inlet but joined us on the beach one day and dinner at our house. So good to see them!

Next came 4th of July time...this year my mom along with Jeff's mom went to Debordieu to watch the parade with our friends...Wilcox family (thanks for hosting!) Such a great time...I love the parade and the kids love being involved in the water works. We also got to visit Jeff's brother's family and friends in town as well as Jeff's aunt and uncle's family. It was a big week!





Now since the 4th...we have had lots of fun times, beach days, books read, family visits, etc.




We went on a date night with friends to a new restaurant "The Townhouse" in Georgetown and it was so good but so hot! There air wasn't working quite right yet but the food was so good...get the lamb...super yum!!



Last night we went out to dinner with my sister, step-brother and wife, mom and step-dad. It was a combo celebrating all being together and my mom's birthday. Fun times with amazing people eating delicious food at "Frank's"!


Whew! This skimmed over the last few weeks but the summer is always jam packed with last minute get-togethers, lots of laughs, walks on beach, shell collecting...the list goes on. We have had a great summer and excited about all we have planned (and unplanned) for the rest of the summer. :)
