A long standing tradition in our family is to get together at the beach. Our part of the family got an early start this year and stoped for an overnight visit with Grandma and Pepe. Over the course of the weekend we enjoyed a lot of time together, ate some good food, did a lot of swimming both in the pool and at the beach and celebrated 3 birthdays. We already have our calendars blocked out for next year!   Weekend Goodies:

• Cousin Carter and the Princess Make quite a dynamic duo.
• If you are going to feed the fish make sure the seagulls are not lurking neaby.
• Skip & Flip have a new buddy and his name is Chip Felix.
• An ounce of pretzels is worth a pound of gold if you want your sanity.
• Sand is fun but it does not taste good.
• Pepe takes one fine picture at sunset.

We have two posts today. Make sure to visit both! If you liked these posts please leave a comment. We love to hear from our family and friends.

We started Mother's Morning Out this week.  All went well until the hand off.  The Princess did not want to stay.  At pick up time the teacher assured SuperNanny that the kids adjusted nicely.  Mister H made SuperNanny's day with a big "HI" and a hug at the first pick up.

This weekend we went to dinner with FunUncle and Grand Boogie at a Mexican Restaurant. The music was good but the company was great. On the way home Dad saw the neon sign at Krispy Kreme all aglow. The car swerved to the right and the next thing we knew we were up to our elbows in glazed donuts. We even have hats to show it!

We had an unwelcome visitor in our corner of the world this past week. Tropical Storm Fay paid us a visit.  Needless to say we were on pins and needles for a couple of days this week as she threatened to strike.  As she passed through our city, over a quarter of the homes lost power. Many trees and branches succumbed to her winds but the major story was the water that she dropped.  Thankfully we are in a home that is high and dry.  The town is soaked.   After 2 full days of being confined to our home we were all stir crazy. We did a lot of reading. We pray that Gustav does not visit.   Click your mouse on the photo to navigate through the slide show. We love to get comments.
