Weekend in Charleston

We just returned from a great weekend in Charleston, made possible by Gigi's generous babysitting. Lee and I went for a fellow resident's wedding and man! it was a great time! Lee was able to go early for the groomsmen fishing trip (a kind invitation from the groom, Mick) and he was grateful for the chance to go out to deep sea fish. They caught more than they expected: around 120lbs or so of Mahi Mahi! We now have a freezer full! The wedding itself was gorgeous, situated at a 1700's home of a former SC governor. The ceremony was in the gardens behind the majestic, 4-storied, white-washed home and a dinner buffet, dancing and even ColdStone Creamery Ice cream followed. We had a blast with several other resident couples who were able to be there.
Throughout the weekend, we also enjoyed great food on both King and John Streets, as well as the extensive Saturday Farmer's Market in Marion Square, walking the battery and wandering through the 300 year-old neighborhoods. A fantastic trip!

In Sullivan news, she is now pulling up to her feet easily and we even had to lower her crib tonight to prevent her newly found acrobatics from taking her to the floor in a crash. She is becoming more and more agile by each passing day and it will not be long before she is walking. She is also cruising around furniture and taking tentative steps. She has said something similar to "no," "banana" as well as is beginning to blow kisses. She is a love!
