Happy 3rd Birthday Tripp

Blogging Hiatus

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last blogged. After our trip to Edisto we have been in football mode. We traveled to Athens, GA for the USC vs Georgia game on September 12th. It was a heartbreaking loss but enjoyed our weekend with family and friends. Since then we've had 3 home football games - we defeated FAU, then Ole Miss and SC State. Next weekend we host Kentucky for the last of a 4 home game stretch. This will be the first home game for the Smith family and it sounds like Tripp will be coming to the game too. I'll try to be better this month!

Our week of relaxing has come to an end and sadly we head home. I leave you with a beautiful sunset photo from our trip.

The View

{Another} 4 Fish Day

Yesterday was another 4 fish day. Although the fish were slightly different...2 flounder, 1 spot tail trout and 1 baby tarpon. I don't know how much fishing there will be today as we have a family photo scheduled for sunset with Lonnie and Yvonne Hoke {our favorite photographers in Columbia}. This was a 60th birthday present for mom and a good excuse to have a family photo!

4 Fish Day

Yesterday was a 4 fish day...not a rating of the day itself, but instead the number of fish DJ caught. He caught 2 flounder and 2 spottail bass. Today is another day to fish. Hopefully the weather will be better than yesterday, it was overcast most of the day but was cooler so we could sit out on the beach and the deck all day without sweating.

Serenity Now...

It's been a long few weeks...Edisto here I come!

Happy 60th Birthday Mom!

Thoughts and Prayers

Almost two weeks ago one of our equestrian athletes was injured in a horse accident. She was not riding, but bathing a horse when it spooked and the rail broke away and knocked her down on the cement. Our Gamecock family appreciate your thoughts and prayers. You can read Victoria's story and keep up with her progress at the caringbridge site.

Is there a difference in sweet corn?

I don't think Tripp knows that Iowa sweet corn is the best he could have...but he did enjoy some local corn Uncle DJ grilled a couple weekends ago.
