we had such a fun weekend! friday, caroline finished up her week long kindermusik class and we went to lunch with emily, mandi (moms) and their kids, anna and rafe. that night, we ate at anchor line, the best and cheapest seafood in charleston, with mandi, hubby corey and rafe. after dinner, we drove down to folly beach and walked on the beach. rafe and caroline had a blast getting sand all over themselves and running around on the beach. it was awesome! caroline wanted to swim in the ocean, but we didn't have a bathing suit. she was confused why we would come and not swim!

saturday, we went to splash zone on james island (think white water scaled down very small) and ran into our friends allison and rob and their little boy owen. allison and i met at the water park and have hung out with the kids several times, but our husbands had never met. we enjoyed hanging out with them so much. they're a great family and owen is such a cutie pie. he and caroline held hands walking to and from lunch...so sweet! they will be in the same preschool together in the fall along with rafe so that's awesome for caroline.
saturday night, emily and anthony dragun (the chief resident in the radiational oncology dept) hosted a welcome party for us at their beautiful home on james island. they have got to be the sweetest people in the world! emily and anna were in kindermusik with us all last week so caroline and anna were already little friends. anthony blessed us with his barbecue skills, which are very impressive. the food was delicious along with emily's cornbread casserole, greens, apple slaw and peach trifle for dessert. yummy! i got to meet the other residens, james and john and get to know them better. we were just blessed by all the trouble anthony and emily went to and it made us again feel so thankful that the Lord has placed us here.
sunday, we visited another church, which we will not be going back to again. nothing awful about it, just not where we feel led. seemed a little too televangelist for us. ate at moe's at caroline's request and then went over to john's island and explored a little bit. we love just driving around here. it's so beautiful! tomorrow, caroline and i are meeting allison, owen, mandi and rafe at the children's museum, which is so cool. i'm so thankful for all the friends the Lord has already given me. He has been so faithful in that area.....
