Hilton Head Island, SC

As promised, here are some photos from our vacation to Hilton Head, SC. We were there the first week in June with Vania's family.

As you can tell from the pictures, Sophie really enjoys the beach! In fact, we had to hold her back so that she wouldn't run into the ocean over her head! Even in the shallow water, she'd get knocked over by waves and just laugh! She danced, sang, and did little puppet shows the whole time we were there. (More on the puppet shows later.)

Here are some more photos of Sophie playing in the water:



Also, here's a link to a video on YouTube that Megan made of Sophie. We were eating dinner at a restaurant (the guys all went home early, but me, Sophie, Megan and my Mom stayed). Mom and I obviously were not paying attention to Sophie's impromptu puppet show, since you can hear us prattling on in the background.

Our first post!

Hi Friends and Family,

We decide to create this blog because we have so many family members and friends spread across the country, that it's hard to keep up with all of you! We will post family pictures (expect most of them to be of Sophie Grace ) and news here. You can even comment on our entries to let us know you were here.

I will try to keep this up to date as much as I can. Chris and I finally bought a digital camera, so now we have no excuse!

My first order of business is to post some photos of our family vacation to Hilton Head from earlier this month. As usual, Sophie loved the beach! I will start posting those very soon.

We look forward to hearing from all of you! We love you!

Chris, Vania, and Sophie Grace
