From Sand to Snow

We had a busy Christmas (what's new? Ever seen four Christmases? Well we hit three this year.), but it was restful and joyous. Well, after we Smiths got over our illnesses (hence why I have practically zero Christmas pics), we had a great time. My brother-in-law and Mother-in-law took us on a nice stroll on the beaches of St. Simons. Windy but beautiful! (I like Matthew's angel wings here!)
After St. Simons and St. Marys, and a Christmas with the Blair/Maupin clan, we headed on a blissful babymoon. This was our humble abode in Bryson City, NC. Looks huge, but we just rented the bottom half for a few nights. 
We ate tons of great food and just vegged out together. The downtown bakery had the most amazing homemade bread that made the most incredible french toast, ala Matthew!
Then God answered our prayer... it snowed!!!
Just had a little snow at the cabin even though it was freezing!
When we ventured out, Matthew was ready for a blizzard. What is it about guys and their hiking sticks?
The view from the cabin was awesome!
All we had to do was drive 30 minutes and we hit several inches of snow!
First time at this spot in the Smokies!
The fresh mountain air revived us after the busy holidays.
Don't be fooled by the smiles, Matthew was a sore Yatzee loser, and rummy loser, and scrabble loser.... hmmm. I was in the gaming groove!
We found a great coffee shop (of course) called Cork and Beans, and we splurged as if we were back in Paris. The crepes were just as tasty as the French originals.
We loved chilling just us two, but we are pumped about baby Smith's arrival in 3 months!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
