Goodbye

Down by the Seashore

early in the morning

talking to the seagulls

playing in the sand

see the happy faces
standing by the waves

Andrew and the waves

In the past Andrew was not a big fan of the ocean

but this year

he loves it!!!!

The Little Sand Crab

We found a little crab in the sand

Rob and Elisabeth caught it in a bucket

so we could show it to Matt and Andrew

Matt stuck his finger in the bucket

I'm not doing that again

Watertable Fun

Matt and Andrew play in the watertable

Matt has an idea

Yes, this is a good idea

A swimming pool?

This is cool

Hey you behind that pole, don't even think about it

I can shove you out

Maybe there is room for two

Random

Sandy Feet

Mr. Kitty is Sick, an original story by Andrew

Mr. Kitty wants to ride my bike

He has been eating peanuts all day

He is very very sick

He trowed up

Birthday Celebration

How many papa's does it take to assemble a bicycle?

Assembled and ready for the celebration

Andrew on his new bike

Matt takes it for a spin

A new train

Can I run it by myself?

Matt watches it go

A helmet, pajamas and tennis shoes, proper attire for a first ride

Bananna pudding, a suitable cake for everyone

La Jolla Play

We escaped to La Jolla to celebrate Andrew's 4th birthday and relax in the cool ocean air

Rockets are launched while Grandpa looks on

"Bestest" brothers

Papa reads Matt and Andrew another of Maisy's exhilarating adventures

Happy Birthday Andrew

Snails and nails

and puppy dog tails

We love you Andrew!!!!

Snakes...Why did it have to be snakes????

For Ben's 8th birthday a reptile man came to his house

I made cupcakes with snakes crawling out

They passed the snakes around so the kids could hold them
"Ben was very into it"

Rebekkah ignored most of the show

Matt watched in amazement

Andrew looked but would not touch

This just can't be a child of mine

Words cannot explain how this picture makes me feel

Rebekkah appeared unaffected by the big snake

The kids posed for a picture with Rapunzel

On second thought "she's out of here"
