At the beach with the C's

We had a great time at the beach. This is the first time any of them will remember the ocean. It was so much fun watching them take it all in. We even got to see some of the wild ponies on Asateague Island very close to the road to the beach. Thanks to the C's for this experience!

At the beach with the C's

The house was really ideal even for this many children. We wore the kids out enough during the day that they were able to sleep all in one room (except the two babies.) Great memories for all of us!

My little man

I took these pictures just because they are so cute and to remind myself of what he looks like when he is not in motion!

Blueberry picking

We went blueberry picking with Mom B and came home with over 15lbs! We are having mufins, pie and coffee cake galore! It will be wonderful to pull these out in the middle of the winter for a taste of summertime. Feel free to share any especially good recipes. I would love some new ones!

Elysa'a visit

Elysa introduced my children to the wonderful world of playing video games upside-down. They consider her extreemly talented! Obviously the kids enjoyed her immensly as did Josh and I. It was especially nice to see the McL again. Thanks so much for the visit, Elysa!
