Basement Project

Well some of you know we have been working on getting our basement finished for the past 7 weeks and we feel as though we are in the final days of construction now. We just had the carpet put down today and let me tell I can finally see the light at the end of the road. I hate living in construction. Selim and I have come to the fast conclusion that we can never get a fixer-upper of a house ever! We are the type of people that when we think of a project we want it done that day, not down the road. And not to mention the mess, dust and just over all inconvenience of getting these things done.
All we have to have done now is the doors to the closets put on and touch up paint then we should be able to claim that space back to be ours by Monday night! We are all so excited here in the Tobey home. Alex is really excited to be able to put back together her playroom and we just want to have things back in order. Let me say that all of this started back in the fall when Bubi came over to play with Alex and said that it was to cold to play in her play room since the small space heater just was not working on warming up the room efficiently. So in Feb we decided to do some thing about that and we are almost done. We have heat, carpet, doors, walls, paint every thing. We hope that Bubi well come back to play in Alex's playroom again.

Get a way weekend

Charleston and Savannah Weekend

Mid March Alex and I met up with Selim on one of his work trips South. We meet him in Charleston, SC. We just love it there, the town is so full of history and so beautiful. Not to mention that every thing was starting to get into full bloom for Spring, just breath taking. One of the first things we have to do when we arrive in Charleston is visit the horses. As we did.

Hello big fella
Then we found the most interactive toy store yet, it was perfect for every one that is young at heart. Lots of dress up cloths and free play toys to keep you playing for hours. It was a bit of a challenge for me to get Selim and Alex out of the store but I managed with bribes for both of them.

Any one looking for the Princess of Alie land?

After a great day of walking and shopping in Charleston we headed down south to Savannah. We took some time to rest and relax when we arrived in GA. The weather was just perfect sunny and warm. We stayed in the Westin across the river from they historic district of Savannah, which was fun to take the boat across each time we left the hotel.

Daddy and Alie Chillin

We took a nice long horse drawn carriage ride through the old town to learn about all of the history. And we also got to eat a Paula Dean's, Lady and Sons. Now I know what the t shirt that I saw meant, "Southern cookin keeps you good lookin". In other words it keeps you round and happy. That food was so rich and yummy, comfort food.

This is Bat Man and Robin giving us the grand tour.

We had such a great time all together, exploring the town. Savannah really enjoys celebrating Irish holidays they do it up all of the way in the town. They make all of the water fountains green too. We came across an Irish Fest with folk dancing, food, music, and face painting. It was so much fun. Alex had her first face painting done. See my little sun shine.

She was so good. Any ways we highly recomend the trip to Savannah and you must stop at the local candy shops for warm pralins(again with the southern goodies).

So much Change

We have moved to Concord!

Every one is doing great still traveling lots and enjoying life to the fullest!

We will work on making more posts and updating what is going on with the Tobey Family.

One Little note Alex got to meet her most loved tv star Curious George in January at Universal Studios. That was such a treat!

Other than that we have been doing mini trips just got back from Charlston and Savannah what beautiful cities.
