Stefanie, Holden and Jessica visit us in South Carolina


We had a wonderful time with Stefanie, Holden and Jessica when they visited us in South Carolina the second week of March 2006.  We had fun at Build-A-Bear and Broadway at the Beach, went to Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, spent a sunny day on the beach and a great day touring Charleston (including carriage ride).  Oh...we also held a small (50 people) gathering with our friends.  We surprised them with the news that our little "Bean" is a girl, Carrigan.  Our friends gave little thank you gifts to Stefanie for her huge part in helping us create our family.  Holden and Jessica also raked in fun stuff.  A great weekend!

We started our tour of Myrtle Beach in perfect weather...Believe It or Not!
Jessica built a Dolphin, Holden built an alligator, Stefanie built a dog
and Jeff built a "Bean" bear
Holden was framed I tell ya at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville!
Stef and Jeff were accidentially color coordinated

This is the ONLY way Stefanie can be covered by BlueCross and BlueShield...for the baby process we cover her with a policy from Lloyd's of London
"Act like you like each other" says Jeff. It worked.

Great day for the beach
Even Kitty got a new outfit from Build A Bear. She is such a drama queen...look at that pose.
