Sunday, March 2, 2014. It was a beee-utiful 75 degree day today. And in our house, full sunshine and warm temperatures translate into outdoor activities all day, in any way we can get them. In lieu of our usual love of biking/park visits, we busted out the much loved bounce house. And truthfully, "love" doesn't even cover the kid's enthusiasm for this activity. When I told them Daddy was outside setting it up, they were quite literally RUNNING to the door. Helping Daddy set up the fun. Dan and Lou Halsted.

Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Toto, we’re not in South Carolina anymore! We had yet ANOTHER snow day here in South Carolina today. This weather is CRAY-ZEEE! We haven’t seen any snow in two years, then BOOM, twice within a couple weeks of each other. The irony is, this morning around 7 am I was sitting in bed, waiting for the kids to start stirring, looking up beach condo rates! That’s what I get, right? Ohhhh, how I long for warm sunny days on the beach. Busting out the beach shovels again. This place is ...

Whew! It’s been a whirlwind couple weeks. Cocoa Beach was beautiful and NASA was nothing short of incredible! And it was tough! Both kiddos enjoyed the...

Monday, December 29, 2014. Three Months Full of Love, Tears and Family. So much has transpired in the past 3 months for our family. This holiday season brought Halloween, numerous trips to Little Rock, the passing of the most amazing Grandmother a girl could be blessed with, Thanksgiving, a special visit with Santa,. Yes, she’s 3 now. Time is flying! And finally the Christmas extravaganza. The munchkins pass the time coloring during one of our drives to Little Rock. Time to run around GiGi's backyard.

Saturday, May 31, 2014. Park Adventures with Classroom Buddies. Today we had an end of the school year bash at our huge park here in Columbia. There were probably 40 people with all the siblings and parents in attendance. We were inundated with yummy food, lots of fun, numerous happy munchkins and tons of playground and duck feeding excitement. All the pictures are below. Hope everyone had a great Saturday too! Grayson slides while Mrs. Maria keeps a watchful eye. A little monkey bar fun. Run, run, run.

Wednesday, January 29, 2014. On your mark, Get set, SNOW! It rarely snows here in Columbia. Last year we didn’t see any of the white stuff and the year before that, we had 1 snow day. The good thing about the snow here is that it only lasts a few hours and it shuts down the city, giving Dan a day off from work. Awesome! We love when Daddy gets to join in on our fun! The flurries also provide an outlet for the kiddos to romp around, expel all their energy and enjoy the uncommon occurrence. Peyton helps su...

Friday, August 16, 2013. A Brief Trek Home and Zoo Crew Visit. When we got back to Columbia, after a day or two of catch up, the four of us decided to head to the zoo. If you remember this post. You’ll recall this place is pretty wonderful. It’s definitely a great way to waste some time and enjoy the adorable smiles and giggles from Grayson and Delaney. Enjoy all the pictures! Hope all is well with every one! Having fun playing in the backyard. Who can run to Daddy faster? They sure love their GG! Spying...

Tuesday, September 16, 2014. As usual, we had an amazing time at the beach a few weeks back. Dan and I both love the surf and sand and I adore seeing how much the kids appreciate it as well. We always try to hit up our favorite spots, restaurants and activities, but this time we added “Pirate Adventure” to our docket. It’s the aquatic/pirate version of Medieval Times and it was incredibly entertaining. Especially in our snazzy front row seats! How can you go wrong? We're so happy here! Splash jumping sho...

Sunday, December 29, 2013. Laneybug Turns 2 and Christmas Blessings in the Rock. For the past two weeks the South Carolina Halsteds have been celebrating. Celebrating our baby girl’s 2. Birthday and celebrating Jesus’ birthday by spending the holiday with amazing family. One can easily conclude the four of us had so much fun that there were over a thousand things to photograph. (Which we absolutely did! I should have asked him sooner! Just wanted to make sure you were still paying attention! Sleeves are ...
