Liam comes back for a visit

Liam brought Mom & Dad back to Charleston for a week in early October. We had a lot of fun.

Noelle and Stuart were able to get away and visit some of the plantations and spent one day in Savannah.

Stuart was also able to get in a couple of rounds of golf and one visit to the gym!

They will be back in December for a longer visit.

Millers visit

Nancy and Gary Miller dropped into Charleston for Labor day weekend and tried out our golf courses, our restaurants and our pool.

The weather was great, the alligators were friendly and we had a great time. Hope they come back!

4th of July visit to Charleston

We were fortunate to have Marc, Lesley, Kincaid and Cormac visit us for the holiday week and they were joined by Great Gramma who came up from florida to join the fun.

The weather cooperated as it has hot and sunny. We all visited the beach, hung out in the pool, and generally had a relaxing time.

I get the feeling that everyone had a lot of fun.

More of Liam in Charleston

As promised, we have published a few more photos of Liam's time visiting with us and David's Mom who came up from Florida to meet him. The pictures below speak to his day at the beach and the rest of the time just hangin' with the Ryans.

Don't know how he will adjust to life back in Toronto where he does not have all kinds of people to entertain him all day long.

Liam hits Charleston

Liam brought his parents, Noelle and Stuart, to visit us in Charleston at the end of May and stayed for a week. As you can see, he made quite a splash on the social scene with his spiffy wardrobe and ladykiller smile.

Later in the week, he will be joined by Great Gramma who will be travelling from Florida to meet him. The week ahead includes plans for the beach, pool and other exiting activities that I will document.

Noelle and Stu added to the goverment stimulous package and I would strongly recommend buying stock in Target or Costco as both are going to have a great quarter.

Cira's visit

Cira Pereira was on her way back from Florida with her daughter, Celina, who attends college in Tampa and spent mother's day with us in Charleston. Coming from Fortaleza in northern Brazil, it was difficult to impress her with SC beaches but it was nice to get out and go for a walk to work up and apetite before mother's day brunch at a popular beach spot.

Lots of touring, market shopping and, of course, eating was done.

Easter in Connecticut

We drove up to Darien Ct. for a quick visit to Lesley, Marc, Kincaid and now Cormac, over the easter weekend. This was our first introduction to Cormac.

It was a horrible drive on a Friday afternoon with several lengthy delays and heavy traffic all the way. Kincaid was in bed but Cormac was up to greet us when we arrived. What follows are some photos from the weekend.

Saturday it rained all day and Easter Sunday it was cold so our excursions included only a quick run to the park and some grocery shopping. Nonetheless it was a great visit and we just loved being around these two great kids! (...and their parents, of course).
