Adley is 11 months old

Adley is getting herself to a stand and moving around the room from chair to chair. Friday, the dog, is her playmate. They share the toys and the food. Whenever Adley is, Friday is right next to her.

Look how pretty Maya is. And a good big sister.



Mollie climbed to the top of the climbing wall at the Science Center in Pittsburgh. She could not reach to ring the bell. The yard stick says 24 feet. This is the little girl that had a broken arm a few weeks ago. Notice she is wearing shiny red wizard of Oz shoes. From her first pair of shoes, she loved shoes.



The VH are in Disney World for a few days.
Sadie takes all her princess dresses and is a new princess every day.

Emma is eating pizza and it looks like a lot of it is on her face.


I went to Daufuskie island for a day tour with the Sea Pines Woman's club. Jack and I toured it maybe 35 years ago. That is before any building was done. When we visited the island there were maybe 50 Afro Americans , gullah people, living on the island in poverty. Now there are golf courses and expensive homes. You need to take a ferry to the island. There are about 400 residents. There was a one room schoolhouse years ago. That is where Pat Conroy taught and wrote the book , The Water Is Wide, about his experiences. Now there is an elementary school. After fifth grade the kids are ferried to HHI for the upper grades. A historical group are trying to save the old buildings and tell the story of the island. There are many tabby ruins to see. A very interesting day.
Church on the island


Praise house-- this is where the blacks were allowed to pray.



Lighthouse on the island.



The life guards are off the beach for the winter. Today the beach was filled with gray heads.
We are busy eating out and tonight is company at our house. Bike rides and beautiful days on the beach. Yesterday was the Bluffton Seafood festival. Jack ate oysters. It think that is why he was in the bathroom ALL morning. I bet they were spoiled. Can not figure out what else caused his problem.
