I have no excuse other than I am just SLACK!!!! I have taken lots of pictures but have failed to post them. So much has happened with our Sweet Baby Girl over the last few months. She is teething like crazy, trying so hard to crawl, and pulling up on all kinds of stuff. It won't be long before this girl is on the go! <span style="text-align: center;">Last weight check on Madi was 18.6 pds (this was done last week when she went to doctor because of a virus- RSV). She was in the 50th percentile for weight at her 6 month checkup and 60th for height. We have an appointment for her 9 month checkup on January 2nd. </span><span style="text-align: center;">I will post the new stats then.</span><br />
<br />
Here are some pictures over the last few months. Its amazing how much she is changing everyday.<br />

Here are some new pics... Madi is growing too fast and is such a sweet little girl. She loves to smile and is beginning to laugh as you will see in the video. She is kicking and swatting at toys and absolutely loves watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. As of her 3 month measurements, she weighs 13 pounds and is 24 1/4 inches long. She has grown almost 5 inches since her birth and almost doubled her weight. She is sleeping through the night consistently, even with all of the traveling! She loves being outside, riding on the boat, and chilling on the beach or in the pool just like her mom and dad!!!<br />

We had so many visitors at the hospital to see our Sweet Madi. Mimi, Papa, Gram, Aunt Beth, cousin Wes, Aunt Sabrina, Aunt Sheryl, Uncle Gary, Aunt Mandy, cousin Macy, and cousin Makayla along with lots of friends. Thank you all so much! I somehow missed pictures of Aunt Sabrina and Aunt Sheryl but I am sure there are some around. I will find those and post them!</div>

After a long three days at the hospital, we were able to come home on Easter Sunday. It was a wonderful day to come home! I know this may be crazy but I can't help but remember my grandmother Dorothy Mae Smith... timing couldn't have been more perfect. Madi's middle name is Mae after my late grandmother... one of her favorite holidays was Easter. Madi was born on Good Friday and got to come home on Easter... can't help but think that Grandma was looking down on us from Heaven! </div>

Mimi and Aunt Cici worked hard at our house to have it clean, food prepared for the week, and adding the finishing touches on the nursery before we got home. They decorated with sweet little candies and balloons to welcome us home. Our neighborhood also welcomed us home with putting us on the Marquee at the beginning of the neighborhood as well as other signs throughout. We have the best neighbors!!!</div>

My pregnancy has been so wonderful and easy. I am truly blessed to be able to say that. Madi has been measuring on track throughout the pregnancy and there had been no complications until week 34. I went in for my check up and they said that I was measuring a little over a week behind where I should be so they wanted to do an ultrasound to check my fluid levels, Madi's size, etc just to be certain that she was doing ok. My fluid was a little low. It was a 10 that day which is still within the normal range but at the very bottom of it. The doctor told me to drink plenty of water and lay on my left side as often as I could to help with the fluid levels. I did that for the next two weeks and at my next appointment, she was measuring two weeks smaller than she should have been. They said it was fine but didn't check my fluid levels. I began my every week visits the following week and she was still measuring two weeks small so I asked if we needed to check my fluids again just to be sure and the nurse practitioner wanted to go ahead and check. At this point, the levels dropped to 7.4. This was last Thursday so they told me to go home over the weekend and hydrate then come back Monday morning to check again. On Monday, my levels were still 7.4. I met with my doctor and he said that if the level dropped below a 7 at this point, he would look at inducing. He told me that I would have to come in every Monday and Thursday until I deliver to be checked so that they could monitor the fluids closely. Well, here it is Thursday. I went to my appointment this morning to be checked and my levels had dropped again to a 4.6. They told me that it was too low to let me go home so I had to be put in a wheel chair and wheeled to the labor and delivery area of the hospital where I am now preparing for the arrival of our sweet baby girl a little bit early. <div>

I will be given medication this afternoon to help begin to dilate my cervix and then another medication tomorrow morning at 4:00am to begin contractions. Our little Madison Mae should be here by tomorrow and we couldn't be happier! I will post pictures as soon as I can. </div>

First, the last weekend of February, our wonderful friends and neighbors, Robert & Kathyrn Belville threw us a neighborhood shower where we had a great turn out of wonderful friends and neighbors to celebrate the upcoming birth of our baby girl. We were overwhelmed by the outpouring of gifts and support from our wonderful neighbors. We are so lucky to live in a neighborhood where we are truly one big family! </div>

My work family also threw a baby shower for Baby Madi in early March. It was a Thursday afternoon after work and was so wonderful to have the support from the people that you work with daily. I am blessed to work in a position that I love with people that I love.<br />

That Saturday, my wonderful friends, Cici, Brittney, and Rhonda threw us yet another beautiful shower. We didn't need much by this point, however anything that was missing was found at that shower. I don't have a lot of pictures from that shower yet but will post them once I do get them. I have one of the hostesses and myself. What a wonderful group of friends!</div>

My mom, my sister Sheryl, and my niece Peyton came in town for the shower on Friday and helped me get the nursery organized, and get all of Madi's clothes washed, folded and put away. I couldn't have done it without them! They were such a big help! </div>

After the shower Satrday afternoon, we went back to my house to finish the nursery. Cici was my designer... I do not have an eye for decorating so my best friend Cici took charge! I told her what I wanted as far as colors and things like that and let her go. I am so happy that I did because it turned out beautifully! Her mother, Toni, made the window treatments, the pillow for the glider, a runner for the dresser, and a french picture board. They both are extremely talented in decorating and Toni is especially talented in sewing! I am so lucky that they were wiling to help! There are still a few things that are not hung yet but that will be taken care of this weekend!! My dad, Jim, made a beautiful shadow box to hang on Madi's wall that will hold her dress, bonnet, and booties that she will be wearing home from the hospital. I absolutely love the nursery and know that Madi will love it too!</div>

The lighting in the pictures isn't great so some look like the nursery is much pinker than it is. The walls are a very pale pink with some darker pink accents from the window treatments, lamp shade, etc. Cici had a beautiful sign made that will go over her crib that should be here this weekend. It is painted to look like barn wood with the peeling off paint look and then her monogram is on that. It is beautiful and really gives the nursery a vintage feel among its modern look. I absolutely love it and can't thank Cici and Toni enough.</div>

It was great to be able to spend some time with Bailey... as a child, you talk with your friends about being pregnant at the same time and the plans you have for your future but you rarely get to see them happen... it really happened for us. I can't wait to meet Baby Rourk #2 and make memories with our children. </div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I cannot believe the how many gifts we were given. Everyone was so generous. I was especially excited about the strollers and carseat that we were given. The turquoise stroller is a jogging stroller that will work great at the beach with its big tires! We were also given the stroller that is a frame for the carseat so while Madi is small, she can be wheeled around in her carseat on top of the frame. When we go for walks, we will use the jogging stroller. </span></div>

We found out last Thursday, October 25th that we are expecting a little girl and we couldn't be more excited. We had out gender check ultrasound at 16 weeks where we got to see our little girl once again. At first she didn't want to cooperate. She was laying face down and very low. The ultrasound tech tapped my belly a few times and that must have waken her up because she was extremely active after that. She barely held still long enough to get a good look however, after about 10 minutes of looking and lots of fun pictures, we were able to get a good shot to determine that she is indeed a girl. She waved "Hi" and showed off her beautiful spine. She is much larger than the last ultrasounds that we had done. It is amazing how fast she is growing and how the time is flying by. She will be here before we know it.<br />

<br />
Once the ultrasound was complete, we went to wait to talk with the doctor for my 16 week checkup. He said that everything looked great and then he listened to her heart. It was hard to hear the heartbeat because she was moving around so much. The doctor warned us that we may have our hands full with an active little girl. Whit and I just looked at each other and laughed... active dog, active daughter!! I guess we wouldn't know what to do with less! <br />
<br />
After leaving the doctor's office, we had to notify everyone of what we were having. I wanted a fun way to tell people but it had to be fast and something that would work in a picture. So I ordered cookies from a store in Savannah called Two Smart Cookies. They have the best tasting and best looking cookies in the area. I ordered six cookies, three pink for a girl and three blue for a boy. I figured that I could take a picture of those and send that out to reveal the gender. Below is the picture that we sent.<br />

She already has Whit wrapped around her little finger! I told him that we needed to go buy her a little outfit since we finally knew what we were having. He agreed and told me exactly what he wanted to get her so we went to TJ Maxx to see if we could find a pink Polo dress just as Whit said he wanted. Low and behold they had one. It happened to be 12 months but it was on sale so we decided to purchase it.<br />
<br />
We also discussed names. We had one picked out already but we needed to verify that we were going to use it once we knew what we were having. So we decided on Madison Mae, but we will call her Madi. We have both always liked the name Madison and Mae is my late grandmother's middle name as well as Whit's late great-grandmother's name. So it worked perfectly that to keep the family name as her middle name.<br />
<br />
Now all we need to do is find some bedding so that we can begin setting up the nursery!!!mrobertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02206363074493524132noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701767414759270068.post-78764057337166825152012-10-08T21:17:00.002-04:002012-10-09T08:50:30.105-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whit and I are beyond thrilled to announce that we are PREGNANT!!! Our first child is due on April 11th, 2013 and we couldn’t be more excited. On Friday, August 3rd, we had a blood test to confirm our pregnancy and then went for <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/ultrasound1-1.jpg" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">our first ultrasound</span></a> on August 29th where we were able to hear our baby’s heart beat for the very first time. The doctor commented on how strong the baby’s heart rate was at 143. What a relief to hear the heartbeat and see our baby for the very first time. There is no greater gift from God!!!
We had another ultrasound at <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/ultrasound2-2.jpg" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">9 weeks</span></a> and again at <u><a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/ultrasound3-1.jpg" target="_blank">12 weeks</a></u>, which both went very well and showed the baby right on track with size and heart rate.
We made the official announcement on Facebook Sunday with the picture above that our friend/neighbor Kathryn took for us using an idea that she found on Pinterest. I thought it was such a cute idea and believe it or not, Whit actually agreed to take the picture and was excited about it. I am amazed at how excited he is about our little one on the way. He was so nervous and reluctant to get excited in the beginning, but now is very much a part of everything and all the decision-making. I guess he was just worried that things wouldn’t go as smoothly as they have.
So far, the pregnancy has gone extremely smooth. Knock on wood, but I have not had any morning sickness or other terrible symptoms. I have been very fortunate. Whit of course is a great and attentive husband… as if he were ever anything different!!! I love seeing his face light up with excitement when we talk about our baby and when he/she is here. I can’t wait to experience parenting with him. I know that he will be the best dad ever!
We are anxiously awaiting the time when we are able to determine the gender. On October 25th, we are scheduled for a Gender Check Ultrasound. We will only be 16 weeks at that time so hopefully our little one cooperates. We will update the blog as soon as we know!

They are growing too fast. Unfortunatley I wasn’t able to get by to see Bailey, Brian, and Baby Hudson but I plan on getting there soon to see the sweet little baby and great friends.

We met for dinner at a Cajun restaurant called Razoo's. It made for a late night but it was certainly worth it. I can't believe how fast the girls are growing up! I can't wait until this summer when I will have time to catch up with Gary, Mandy, Macy, and Makayla as well as spend some quality time with Bailey and Brian. We have seen each other in little bits but with Bailey's work schedule and my summers off we will be able to spend some time together hanging out and catching up on life! I can't wait!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/138/08DBA8DCE06A637F29E311DC06C1F0B8.png" /></a>mrobertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02206363074493524132noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701767414759270068.post-17622604177801398332010-05-19T14:47:00.013-04:002010-05-19T15:52:20.920-04:00Weekend in Shreveport<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3VqCue4swHVFNineS370vUuyKu5oHnQ4PmSOumyfJ2_kEmo_Wyqu5SEF7op1CR8lcM9b0eRoby62YqurRvfRJ5-YtrMBwYsgEG93fPiZYwaTVM9obryPRINBLnd03-enuyyemmj3v9pY/s1600/DSC03792.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473062503437932194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3VqCue4swHVFNineS370vUuyKu5oHnQ4PmSOumyfJ2_kEmo_Wyqu5SEF7op1CR8lcM9b0eRoby62YqurRvfRJ5-YtrMBwYsgEG93fPiZYwaTVM9obryPRINBLnd03-enuyyemmj3v9pY/s320/DSC03792.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><p align="left">Whit and I spent last weekend in Shreveport, LA for my cousin Nick's wedding. Nick and Meghan have been together for 5 years and finally decided to tie the knot. The wedding was beautiful and went off without a hitch!<br /><br />My family always teases that we have so many weddings, baby showers, etc. that there is no need for any family reunions because we have them so often at these random events. We are dwendling down on the number of neices, nephews, etc that are left to marry. We are not sure what we will do once these events are over with but I am sure that we will find time to get together whether it is in Destin, Atlanta or St. Louis. Wherever it is, we will all make the time to spend it with family! </p><p align="left">Shreveport as an interesting little city. We stayed at the Boardwalk area that was right on the river. It was a beautiful, new place that has lots of shops restraunts within walking distance. There was also a casino right next door!!!!! I felt like I was in Vegas for a minute! I sure lost my fair share at black jack and in the slot machines and ... just kidding. I stopped there!

I hope that all of you had as good of a Thanksgiving as I had. I was able to spend lots of time with the family especially the little ones. I had a training in Atlanta the week before Thanksgiving so it was nice to be that much closer to the family for the extra week. I took turns staying at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">every one's</span> house so that I could spend quality time with them. I stayed with Sheryl the first night and we baked a cake for her cake decorating class that she is taking. She is amazing and has only had like 4 classes, imagine when she finishes the course!<br /><br />I got out of the training a little early one day so I went and picked Haley up from daycare so that we could go shopping before Mom and Dad came home. Haley takes after her Mom, Aunts and Grandma...that girl loves to shop.<br /><br />I was also able to get to spend some time with Wes and the rest of the Roberts family. Wow, Wes has grown up so fast. Talking to him is like talking to an adult. He is so smart and funny. We had a blast playing and talking about what he learning in school.<br /><br />Jim and I went to see New Moon opening night and I was in awe! Such a good movie that I had to run and buy the books because I couldn't wait any longer to see what happened. The only problem was that I hadn't read the first two so I had to start there since I am a sequential person. So I am about a 1/3 of the way <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">through</span> the first one... a little slow but I will get there... hopefully before the 3rd movie comes out!<br /><br />Once Mom got back in town we were able to spend some quality time together too. She, Jim and I went to see the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Rockette's</span> Christmas Spectacular at the Fabulous Fox theatre in Atlanta on Sunday night and had a great time! It was an amazing performance!<br /><br />The week of Thanksgiving was spent getting ready for the big day and putting up Mom's Christmas tree. Joanne did an amazing job decorating the tree. She is so talented with that stuff!<br /><br />Thanksgiving day was crazy as usual but we had a great time catching up with family that we don't get to see too often. Gary, Mandy, Macy & <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Makayla</span> flew into the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gainesville</span> airport to enjoy <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">their</span> 1st Thanksgiving. I cannot believe how fast they are growing up. They are so adorable and have great personalities. Their smiles will melt your heart!<br /><br />Of course we also took part in the Annual Black Friday Shopping Trip. This year we mapped everything out the night before and decided where we were going, what we were getting at which stores and what time we would be there. It worked perfectly and we were able to get everything that we had set out to get! A very successful day for all of us. After our 10 hour shopping adventure, we met Jim, Gary, Mandy, Macy, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Makayla</span>, Whit, Clayton, and Haley for lunch at Chili's. Then we headed back to Mom and Jim's house to relax before we hit the Magical Nights of Lights at Lake <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lanier</span> Islands. Whit and I rode in the car with Haley, Sabrina and Clayton. We were so glad to be there to experience Haley as she was amazed at the lights. She kept saying "Look Miss"! It was adorable and I was eating up every second of that! She is so stinking cute!<br /><br />I am looking forward to Christmas and spending more time with the family again. It is so fun to have children around during the Holidays! Hopefully one day, we will have some of our own to enjoy!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/138/08DBA8DCE06A637F29E311DC06C1F0B8.png" /></a>mrobertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02206363074493524132noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701767414759270068.post-70333895405974393932009-09-18T11:29:00.013-04:002010-05-19T15:54:38.075-04:00Labor Day WeekendOkay, so I have been very slack about posting. We have been crazy lately as I am sure all of you have been too. Life never seems to slow down, it just keeps going faster and faster! I can't believe that the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02694.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">twins</span></a><span style="color:#990000;"> </span>are 1 month old, <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/100_3363.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Haley</span></a> is about to turn two, <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02134.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Wes</span></a><span style="color:#cc0000;"> </span>and <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/0809Reganne1stdayofschool4yrs5.jpg"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error" style="color:#990000;">Reganne</span></a> started P<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">re</span>-k, and <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/RileyinMauionSunsetCruise.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Riley</span></a> and <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC00221.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Connor</span></a><span style="color:#990000;"> </span>just had their second birthdays.<br /><br />Whit and I were supposed to head to Atlanta for Labor Day Weekend, but as many of you know, he was sick. He is doing better now after returning to the doctor for the second time on Monday. I think that the second round of antibiotics finally helped to get rid of the fluid in his lungs and to started to make him feel better. So needless to say, since he was sick he didn't go with me to Atlanta. I felt bad leaving him at home alone while he was sick but my grandmother and grandfather were in town for the holiday weekend so I had to. Whit assured me that he was going to be fine. So I headed Northwest to Atlanta for the extra long weekend due to the furlough day. I headed up Friday after work and picked up Gary along the way. He flew the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02691.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">new helicopter</span></a> to Cumming, GA of all places to have it re-finished. We then went to Mom's house for the night. He had to drive back to Charlotte the next day so I enjoyed time with Ma & John and the rest of the family including Haley. She is getting <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">soooo</span> big. We bonded watching the Appalachian State football game. Later on that evening, I hitched a ride with Gary's Co-Pilot, Todd to Charlotte. I went there for the night to see the twins who I hadn't seen since they were born. I met Gary, Mandy, <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02692.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Macy and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Makayla</span></span></a> for dinner and enjoyed feeding and snuggling with the sweet little girls. We hung out Sunday and enjoyed some bonding time then Gary and I headed back to Atlanta on <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/ATLRacebyPlane.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Greg <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Biffle's</span> jet</span></a>. Gary had to fly the jet to Atlanta to pick Greg up after the race so I hitched a ride back with him. When we arrived at the airport, Sabrina, Clayton and Haley were all there to welcome us. Haley was beside herself when she saw the airplane. She has a fascination with airplanes, helicopters, etc. It is hilarious to watch <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/HaleyandDadlookingatplanes.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">her</span></a><span style="color:#cc0000;"> </span>when she sees one flying in the sky.<br /><br />After leaving the airport, we headed back to Mom's house to hang out with Ma & John before they took off on Monday morning. We enjoyed wine on the back deck while solving all of the world's problems. It was so nice to see Ma & John again and to catch up on what has been going on with them now that Ma is retired. They are becoming quite the little travelers these days!<br /><br />Monday and Tuesday were spent hanging out with the Sheryl, Sabrina, Clayton, Haley, Mom and Jim. Ryan had to work so I didn't really get to see him except for a minute here and there. I will definitely have to spend more time with him next time. Tuesday afternoon, Mom and I picked Haley up from school and took her shopping. She was a little skeptical at first when we pulled up to her school in her mom's car and her mom wasn't there. Nonetheless, she still had a great time.<br /><br />Once all of the fun had been had, it was time for me to drive the long road of Highway 16 back to Savannah. Since I have been home, things at work and home have been crazy. We are gearing up for our annual Halloween party so we are trying to clean the house, garage, etc so that people aren't grossed out when they come. With Whit being sick, things had to be delayed a little but we still have some time before it has to be done.<br /><br />Whit and I are heading to the mountains for our 5 year anniversary on October 2<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">nd</span> and on the way, we are going to stop and spend some time with his family. I can't wait to see our nephew Wes. He is getting so big! He is playing soccer now and is going to start taking <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tae</span>-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">kwon</span>-do lessons from <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC01942.jpg"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Mr. Murphy</span></a>, one of or best friends. I know that this sport will suit Wes well. He loves all of the Ninja moves and everything boy!

I started back to work Monday and hit the ground running with meetings and trainings all week. This is a much different pace that I am used to since I spent my summer getting up when I wanted to with no agenda for the day. I spent much of my time at the beach being serenaded by none other than Jimmy <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Buffett</span>. When I wasn't soaking up sun, I was visiting family and friends. The summer started with the most amazing vacation ever thanks to my adventurous sister, Sheryl. <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/IMG_9020.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">She and her new husband, Ryan</span></a>, decided to get married on the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC_0141.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">beautiful island of Maui</span></a> on a <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/IMG_8980.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">cliff overlooking</span></a> the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC_0193.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">crystal clear water</span></a><span style="color:#00cccc;">.</span> It was the most beautiful place on earth! While we were there, not only did we enjoy the wedding, but we also took some time to<span style="color:#990000;"> </span><a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/2323232327Ffp43353A3Enu3D3233B3E856.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">hike</span></a> on the<span style="color:#00cccc;"> <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/2323232327Ffp43363A3Enu3D3233B3E856.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">road</span></a></span><span style="color:#990000;"> </span>to <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/2323232327Ffp433633Enu3D3233B3E8563.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Hana</span></a>, watch the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC_0356.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">sunrise on Haleakala</span></a>, learn to <span style="color:#00cccc;"><a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/IMG_7259.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">surf</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">,</span> <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC_0159.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">hula dance</span></a></span> and <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC_0193.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">snorkel the reefs</span></a>. The pictures don't do any justice to the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02219.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">beautiful scenery</span></a> there. We took one day and island hopped to Oahu to pay our respects at <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02427.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Pearl Harbor</span></a>. This was a very eerie and sad <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02408.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">memorial</span></a><span style="color:#990000;">.</span> You can still see <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02406.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">oil</span></a> where the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02414.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">USS Arizona</span></a> remains today. To lighten things up a little bit, we decided to hit <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/2323232327Ffp83C43Enu3D33393E9333E3.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Jimmy Buffet's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Margaritaville</span> at Waikiki Beach</span></a>. I was able to check off the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Maragaritaville</span> in Honolulu on my list of places to visit. For those of you that don't know me very well, Whit and I are huge Parrot Heads! One of my goals is to visit every <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Margaritaville</span> that there is. I am only 1/3 of the way there. I have been to most of them in the U.S., but now it's time to venture to the Caribbean to visit the more exotic locations. I am anxious for those trips. Anyways, after our day adventure to Oahu, it was time to head back to Maui for one last night of fun before reality struck. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Once we got home and back into the swing of things, my mom came down and helped me spring clean my house. We went through all of the cabinets, drawers, closets, etc to organize and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">de</span>-junk. We gathered a few boxes of stuff for the neighborhood yard sale and other things which we donated to Good Will. What a relief to have all of that done and my mom to help. Thanks Mom! After cleaning my house, I offered to help my brother and sister-in-law, Gary and Mandy, to prepare the house for the arrival of their twin girls, <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/Macy_4lbs__9oz_.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Macy</span></a><span style="color:#990000;"> </span>& <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/Makayla_5lbs_.jpg"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error" style="color:#990000;">Makayla</span></a>. I really enjoyed helping prepare the<span style="color:#00cccc;"> <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC_0009.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">twins'</span></a></span><span style="color:#990000;"> </span><a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC_0010.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">nursery</span></a> for their arrival in August. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">The week before the 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> of July, I went to Disney World with Whit's family, Dennis, Suzanne, Beth and Wes. I was so excited to be able to see <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02560.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Wes and Beth</span></a> enjoy Disney World for the first time. We all had a great time! Wes even rode the Tower of Terror! Of course we visited <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Margaritaville</span> while we were in Orlando. I can't go to a city that has a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Margaritaville</span> without stopping to enjoy a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">cheesburger</span> in paradise. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">After that, my mom, dad, aunt and uncle, Art & Linda from St. Louis, came to visit Savannah! While they were here, we <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/2323232327Ffp536963Enu3D323A93E3A3B.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">rode bikes</span></a> around <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/2323232327Ffp5363A73Enu3D323A3B3E53.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Cumberland Island</span></a>. It was a neat place but I would definitely recommend that you wait until a cooler month to visit rather than in the heat of the summer! I am so glad that they finally had a chance to see the beautiful city of Savannah!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">To end the summer with a bang, Whit and I went to Ft. Walton beach to spend time with Whit's <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/IMG_1814.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">extended family</span></a>. It was great to be able to spend some quality time catching up with everyone. Whit's grandmother was so kind to rent the condos for the family. We spent our days <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/IMG_1736.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">relaxing on the beach</span></a> and sipping drinks while we watched the sun set over the beautiful Gulf Coast! Whit and I joined some of the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02619.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">cousins</span></a> at the <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02627.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">local dueling piano bar</span></a>. It has become a tradition for the family beach trips. Of course you can't go to the beach with out playing putt-putt. Whit has been itching to go to the<span style="color:#990000;"> </span><a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02637.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Flora-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bama</span> bar</span> </a>for a few years now so he, his cousin <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02635.jpg"><span style="color:#990000;">Reese</span></a>, and I took an afternoon to drive to the Florida-Alabama border to see what the hype was all about. It was more of a hole in the wall than we thought. Regardless, it was great! We had burgers and beer and of course Whit had to pick up a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">coozie</span> as he does everywhere we go! One last stop on our way back home was to Panama City, Fl to visit none other than <a href="http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss303/mroberts281/DSC02640.jpg"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error" style="color:#990000;">Margaritaville</span></a><span style="color:#990000;">!</span> </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Not by coincidence, my summer seems to have a common theme...
