Beach Part 2



Each day we spent part of the time at the beach, and the other part of the time at the pool.  During our time at the beach, we were doing lots of things!! Searching for shells, looking at the small muscles that dig back down into the sand, watching crabs pop out of the sand and run for the water....building sandcastles, re-applying sunscreen, boogie boarding.....watching dolphins! enjoying the shade of our umbrella, digging in the sand, and emptying the snack cooler :)







I kept the pictures "zoomed out" so you could see how great the waves were, and how few people were there! It was a wonderful time on the beach....but Peter didn't love it as much as the rest of us did.  By the end of the week he went out - with Daddy - and bobbed in the water, but mostly he just stayed in the sand.  Aunt Laura got him to come out with Brooke in the 'bubbles' and he liked that too.  Not much time in the ocean for Peter, but he still had a blast in the sand!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
