"The Beat"

Trace has long had an affection for a dancing skeleton that lives at Didi and Papa's house in Kingstree. Whenever we visit, he runs through the door and goes straight for the beat. We found a similar one at Walgreens the other day. Now, Anna Kate has also grown to love "the beat" as Trace likes to call it. Who would have thought that a dancing skeleton singing "livin' la vida loca" would be such a hit! Go figure!

And not to leave anyone out...

Anna Kate at 11 months!

Here's Anna Kate talking to her boyfriend, Ian!

Bye Bye Crib!

Trace waking up from his nap in his boat bed!


Trace's sailboat-themed room!
The toddler boad bed has been over in the corner of the room since his Didi and Papa gave it to him for his bday in March! Trace wasn't ready to let go of the crib yet, so we didn't push it. One day we were hanging pictures in his room, and Trace just out and said, "I wanna sleep in my boat bed." Gerrick and I went along with it, and last night (Oct. 8) he slept in his bed all night! Yeah Trace! This is a picture of Trace in the room before we moved the crib out. What a big boy!
