charleston

For our second beach vacation of the summer we traveled to Charleston, SC to spend the week with my parents and see my dear friend Owen get married. We joke that he was the only boy at my kindergarten birthday party, but that explains the length and depth of our friendship...I couldn't be more thrilled for him and his beautiful new wife.

My son was in seventh heaven with his papa and grandma, while Robert and I loved being able to head into downtown Charleston for a date night at a fabulous, amazing restaurant.

My dad loved matching with his favorite little guy at the rehearsal, and my son developed an obsession with bluegrass and more specifically the banjo:

Robert and his daddy went hunting for alligators at the reception:

Since it was a south carolina summer wedding, the men all wore seersucker...my son loved posing like his dad and papa:
Let's not forget our beach time too...we had some awesome time early in the mornings and then, my favorite time at the beach, post 5pm...Robert enjoyed the coolest fort on the beach shown here before it was attacked by several young children all hoping to play in his special fort built by dad:

A day to celebrate

I am so blessed to have such amazing men in my life to care for me and my son...

To my first amazing:

Thank you dad for loving me so well, for teaching what a parent should be and for caring for my son so deeply...i love you.

To my second amazing:
Babe, you light up my world and fill your son's with joy...thank you for who you are to us.

To my third amazing:
Bob, thank you for accepting me as your own, for teaching your son how to be a true man of the Lord and for loving our son so well.
ps. this photo is an oldie but a goodie...it explains so much of the Luck family:)

This is the life...

Two beaches plus a river trip in one month...exhausting for a mom in her third trimester? absolutely...but amazing and fun and totally worthwhile..

let's break them down a bit:

Beach #1--Luck Family beach week: We love going to the beach with the Lucks because we stay put, enjoy ourselves and Rob has a blast playing with his cousin Adelyn...and this year, spent the week being apprehensive of his new cousin Braden...boy, is he in for a rude awakening next month:)

We did some digging, some climbing, some burying and a bit of splashing in the surf...not to mention following Pop Rock around wherever he went!








Next up, and for another day...our trip to Charleston:)

We Love Lacrosse

We've been traveling a bunch and Robert's been busy busy busy with work....largely because we've been traveling so much, go figure:)

BUT I wanted to quickly give a shout out to the UVA Men's Lacrosse team who won the national championship this past week. Robert took time out from work to sit and watch the game with his favorite fan, and I snapped a few photos along the way:
Clearly after a goal:)

Intently watching their beloved Hoos:
Finally breaking out the "cheerleader", Robert loves to imitate his Uncle Will at every UVA-related opportunity!
