"Ouchy Foot" x 2

We're baaack! On Friday we left for Hilton Head, SC for Jason's company Christmas party. We so look forward to it every year. This year my parents were supposed to come with us, but my mom had an unfortunate accident last week. She had just finished putting some boxes up in the attic and was coming down the stairs. She thought she was on the last step but she wasn't and she lost her balance and fell. She fractured her foot similar to the way I fractured my knee in high school. She's been a trooper and continues to have a positive attitude about it. Crutches don't bode well for traveling so Jason's mom came instead. Thanks for doing it on such short notice Pat! Also, thanks to my sister and her family for agreeing to watch Charlie Dawg at the last minute too.

I didn't get any pictures of Jason and I all dressed up but some of his co-workers did and if they e-mail any, I'll be sure to post them. Here are some pictures of David enjoying the windy and frigid waters of the beach.

Friday night grandma was trying to get David excited about going to the beach and talked to him about playing in the sand. David told Grandma "but Charlie chewed my shovel" which is true, so she was quick to buy him a new set at the gift shop. He tried to get as close to the seagulls as possible.


The water was freezing and I could hardly stand to get my feet wet. Not true for David! He just loved watching the waves hit his feet and legs and could care less about the water temperature. Jason had to use his best tactics to get David out for his own health!

Aunt Marilyn (Pat's sister) drove over from St. Simons to visit with us for a few hours on Saturday. When we were waiting for her in the lobby David said something that just cracks me up every time I think about it. There was a statue of a bird dog pointing (similar to the one above). David saw it and said "Ouchy Foot". As the son/grandson of avid hunters, he will soon learn that is not the case!
