Oops, missed a few!

Yikes, where has my time gone?? We've just been busy busy bees around here. I'll just do a bullet-point update and follow with the usual photo reel.


  • Dargan still had an ear infection at his re-check appointment, so we did a second round of antibiotics (Augmentin this time)
  • Went mountain biking at Dupont with friends and visited Sanctuary Brewing Company (Brewery #40) afterwards in Hendersonville
  • Spent a fun afternoon in Asheville with some friends, and visited:
    • Wicked Weed (Dargan had already been here)
    • One World Brewing (Brewery #41)
    • Twin Leaf Brewery (Brewery #42)
    • Green Man Brewing (Brewery #43)
    • Burial Brewing (repeat)
  • Memorial Day holiday - Scott pulled Dargan in the bike trailer up the Saluda watershed while I followed. 
  • First trip to the pool this season - Dargan loved splashing and crawling around in the shallow end
  • We said goodbye to our dear old sweet boy Shiner  :(
  • Scott and I spent a night last weekend in Charleston for a wedding while Dargan spent his first night away from us. He stayed with Grannie and Grandpa Wetmore at their lake house and loved his visit with them!
  • Dargan started assisted walking - he walks behind his push scooter!
  • We now have FOUR top teeth that have broken through

Looking more and more like a little BOY each day...

I spy toofers!

Catching up on the past week

Already wrote about Dargan's first camping trip this weekend, but I realized I needed to catch up on the past week and weekend, too!

Rewind...

Friday 5/13 - Walk around the neighborhood with Dargan on his birthday gift from Grammy & Grampy. He loves it!


Saturday 5/14 - Scott left for a work trip to China. Lazy Saturday & errands. A short neighborhood run.



Sunday 5/15 - Bike ride to downtown for Beth to sing at Artisphere with Greenville in Harmony Chorus. Grannie comes to stay for a couple of days!



During the week - busy! The usual for a work week. He loves waving at himself in the selfie camera. And he's started doing this silly toothy grin!



First Camping Trip!

We got home today from our first time camping with Super D - and I will say, it was a success! We'd originally planned to stay two nights at Jackrabbit Mountain Campground in western NC, just north of Hiawassee, GA, but the forecast for rain Friday night caused a slight change in plans.

We headed out of town around lunch time on Friday and stopped at several breweries along the drive.

Satulah Mountain Brewing (Brewery #36)

Sneak E Squirrel (Brewery #37)

Innovation Brewing (Brewery #38)

Lazy Hiker Brewing (Brewery #39)

We stayed the night in a hotel in Franklin, NC then headed over to the campground on Saturday morning. It was great! We spent the weekend mountain biking (taking turns entertaining D while the other biked), hanging around the campground, making s'mores, and enjoying the outdoors.

Quick early morning nap before leaving the hotel
 
 
 
 

Dargan impressed us by sleeping through the night in the tent without an issue (other than sprawling and taking up more than his fair share of our 3-person tent). No crib? No white noise machine? Rowdy campers and dogs at the next campsite? No problem! Really proud of him. :) Also, we discovered he loves Cheetos. A fun weekend indeed.
