Well, to call us slack on updating our family blog would be terribly generous. But finally an update has come.
For those who do not already know, we're excitedly awaiting the arrival of Alexa's little sister. She's set to make an appearance around August 18th. Her Poppy (Matt's dad) is hoping for a few days delay so they can share a birthday. With the recent heat though, I'm willing to accept an early birth.
Matt started a new job with DHEC this time last year. He's the Director of Art and Photography for the state office of DHEC. This spring he was recognized by the Public Health Association for his contributions to their many projects. We incorporated the banquet into a week long family vacation at the beach.
Alexa has grown exponentially. It's amazing to look back and see the difference in her. Next week she will be 2. A very active 2. "Go" is one of her favorite words. It's something she seems to do non-stop. Go go go.
We are finally close to wrapping up renovations on our backyard. When we purchased the home it was the biggest drawback. Only a small portion of the actual yard was fenced in and what was there, was overgrown, very shady, hilly and was nearly unusable for a child. Because of the constant shade it stayed damp and mosquitos took over. Our front yard is a hill, so poor Alexa had practically no where to play outside. After a lot of hassle and unneccesary aggravation, our backyard is big, open, flatter and has sod. We're in the process of getting the beds established. For her 2nd birthday, we got her a swing set which I'm fairly sure will mean we'll be spending a LOT of time outside.
Life has been so busy over the past year. We haven't gotten to see and talk to our friends and family as often as we would like. This is something we're working on. If you're on Facebook and we haven't connected, feel free to "Friend" Matt or I either one. We're both on there and we try to keep some sort of updating on there, including pictures.

Out to dinner!
We love you all!
It's Been Forever
