So Long, Farewell...

Our good friends the Williamses moved about a month ago (I'm in total denial which is why it has taken me so long to do this post). Jacob came over two mornings while Jeff & Lindsey packed. He & Sam had a great time and I was able to get a few pictures. Williamses we miss you but are happy for you & your new opportunities!

Good-bye hugs...

Valentine's Day Hike Up Table Rock!

On Saturday (Valentine's) we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and spend some quality family time hiking. The Table Rock Trail ascends nearly 2000 ft over 3.4 miles, but offers some of the best views in South Carolina. In hindsight, we would have chosen a less strenuous path, but we are glad we perservered. Here is the view from the top of Governor's Rock (elev. 2800 ft.).



Rebecca decided she could not go any further, so she stayed at Governor's Rock with Troy and Shiloh. Sam, Dozer and I pushed on to the extra 324 ft to the summit.

Table Rock Hike continued

Here are some pictures of our resting spots along the way.


Troy's resting spot is wherever he is...

We could not believe this was only about half way up.

Our Bundle of Troy

It is hard to believe that Troy is 10 months old. I keep telling Josh that I can't get over the fact that he is going to be 1 so soon! He is our big boy...always in the 75-90% percentiles. He has four teeth with two more close to busting through. He army crawls all over the place and can sit himself up. In an effort to give Troy some blog time here are a few pictures from around the house and everyday life.

His face looks funny here but I couldn't resist posting this picture. He loves to squeeze in between our end table and sofa!

Hanging out under the exersaucer.

Troy is definitely the Malphrus baby...if you look at my baby pictures that's how I looked. Sam looks more like the Millers. Somehow though they manage to look a lot alike.
