Summertime

-Our kiddie-pool was a big hit this summer!

-Last month we had a great day out at the John Bitow's beach house. The boys went on their first boat ride, (they both fell asleep out on the water,) and Billy even went out on the Sea-Doo with Tami. Thanks to her tenderness and caution, he loved the ride.

-Billy had his first nights camped-out in the backyard; he loved the adventure! We look forward to lots of camping trips in the future.

-I completed my second triathlon last weekend, (along with some wonderful friends,) and I'm already planning for another next summer.

-Bye-Bye Summertime, Hello Fall!

Next up: Billy's first week of preschool!!

First Birthday

Happy Birthday Benjamin!!

We had a great party to celebrate Ben's first birthday. See for yourself.

At the Beach

We had SO MUCH fun... walking on the beach, playing in the sand, flying our kite, exploring the tide pools, and running from the waves! Billy decided to call the pelicans "crab peacocks," and loved letting the sea anemones "hug" his fingers. Ben loved his rides in the front-carrier, the fresh ocean breeze, and his monitored exploration of the sand and water, (he wished for more freedom!) It was our first family vacation with Ben, and we look forward to many more adventures together.
