Hilton Head

Our annual vacation with the Howard/O'Melia clan was wonderful!! We all had a great time in Hilton Head - it was so relaxing and lots of laughs were had! We had a wonderful Mother's Day and apparently what happened in that condo stayed in that condo! I have no pictures (there is one out there somewhere!) but I will tell you.. after a couple bottles of wine at least 5 of us girls can fit in the bath tub at the same time. Unfortunately I think this is one of the only pictures I have of Sharon (she was sick for the second half of the trip but Oprah seemed to help a little - I think it is probablly the first time in years she has been able to actaully watch daytime TV - she is such a hardworker! )
Meghan and Zachary on the green
Rog and Jack getting some lovin before dinner
A few snuggles before bed!
One of my favorite pictures of AJ - Alan and I still think that the pool counts as a shower (not sure if I should share that with everyone!) so AJ's hair was full of sunscreen/sand/sweat - I love it! And those are his first pair of underroos!
A little fish!
Our dancing man - he picked up a little blondie on the dance floor! Apparently the guy singing was not too excited that his biggest fans were up to his knees - and said (not so under his breath), "I didn't know we were at Chuck E. Cheese's." Well, before I could get retaliate with a snide remark and have AJ get the tips back out of his jar (yes I totally overreact !!) AJ and the little blondie started yelling, "Chuck E Cheese! Chuck E Cheese!! Chuck E Cheese!!!" It was great - better than anything I could come up with!
An afternoon in Harbortown

Katie!! and little Gouery #2!! That's right they are due November 28th!

Meg and Thad!

Lindsey following the leader!
Love this mischevious little smile!

After half a day of rest we were at it again and AJ haaaaad to go to the zoo - afterall we hadn't been in a week and the bears missed us! Pat came along - she is always ready for a last minute excursion with us!

Jack is smiling!! AJ is smiling!!! And mom cut their heads off! (Funny as I read that I thought, "Wait my mom wasn't here." I am still not always used to referring to myself in the 3rd as "mom"!)
Seriously these are the two most amazing boys - I have never been so uplifted and blessed!
