Hilton Head 2006
So I think it will be a long time before Mapgeek and I have a vacation again. As told to me by a friend, when you have kids “vacations” become “family trips”. Gone are the days of sitting by the beach/pool, reading a trash-mag and sipping a fruity drink. The beach now consists of running up the beach after the baby, running down the beach after the baby, distracting the baby from poking sleeping sunbathers, distracting the baby from taking off with other kids’ toys, etc. We had a great time watching our little girl discover the beach and all the joys of sun, sand, and water. She loved it! As if we had any doubts….
We’re still competing with naptime, so our days consisted of getting up around 7, eating breakfast, and heading to the beach. Then it’s back around 11 for naptime and lunch. Then back to the pool in the afternoon for an hour before the second nap. I felt like we were on the move the entire time. It’s hard work entertaining a toddler! The weather couldn’t have been better though. Mid-80s all week and no rain while we were there. Of course, then we get back to Atlanta and it’s been 95 ever since. We’re definitely ready for fall here.

Is it August already?
Wow ok so I said when I started this blog that I’d NEVER let it lapse. And here it’s been almost 3 months! So sue me. It’s been a busy spring and summer so I’ll try to catch you guys up in a few hopefully interesting installments.
May was slammed as it is every year, falling right on the tail of our anniversary. My wonderful husband, Mapgeek, after a brief respite from anniversary responsibilities (and a great one it was!), gets to suffer through Mother’s Day and then straight into the gauntlet that ends with the annual trek to Hilton Head Island in the beginning of June. This year was a little longer and included six family birthdays, Father’s Day, and our annual BBQ. To top it all off, his lovely wife (me!) was contending with the First Trimester Blues. Yes, you read right…we are now expecting Curleykid v3.0! More on that later.
Moving right on to Babygirl’s first birthday….we had a wonderful party for her and invited our immediate family, a few close friends, and a few of Babygirl’s friends. Babygirl was a charmer, as always, and a little social butterfly. She did all the appropriate cake mushing and playing that one should do on their first birthday. And then she crashed hard for a long nap. And I did too!
