The second week we were there, we rented a beach house so the whole family could stay together. We invited lots of people over and had a group Shag dance lesson (the Shag is the state dance of South Carolina--kind of like swing). We moved all the furniture back and danced in the living room. We also got some of the weather from Hurricane Fay, which was a bummer, but we got swim in some huge waves!
On the last night at the beach house we left the babies at home and went on a ghost tour at Atalaya Castle, where we listened to stories about the Lowcountry. I love all the legends and lore about that part of the country. Doing that tour made me want to read more books about the people that lived there and books set there; I want to read southern authors Pat Conroy and Josephine Humphrey.
Clara loved her cousin Tate and would say, "T-t-t" when she would see him. Sarah was sweet to Clara, too. Clara still wonders where Tate and Sarah are.
It was wonderful to be with my whole family again. With everyone living all over the world, it was special to have everyone together.

Yea!! What a cute background! I'm glad you were able to figure things out. Now that it's all set up it should be pretty easy to maintain. I'm glad you went with the blog. Facebook is alright but I think it's easier to see what your friends are doing with a blog.
I love your east coast pictures!
