And the only family shot we got the entire time…but Tom was only here for two weekends of my two weeks! (Yeah, I should have moved the garbage or cropped it out, LOL.)

Thing 1 & Thing 2
Gramma Jean came home today with these shirts for the kids…
Of course, I have 58 attempted shots of them laughing and playing together—but with one looking away or hands in the way or legs in the way. 🙂 Here’s a video of all of them…
I did get these next two, though, which I thought would look good combined…
So I googled and discovered that Microsoft Live (already on mom’s laptop!) has a feature called Photo Fuse which will let you mix and match heads from photos…so I created this picture!
And then when we left them to their own devices…
And then Katie decided she should check out a sleeping daddy…
Gramma and the kidlets
Look at my new teeth!
She just finished getting her bottom two teeth and now the top two are coming in…
Katie wants monkeys!
When Katie is up, we have to play Owen’s new monkey game on a table because Katie REALLY wants the monkeys… After our game, we left her to her own devices and yep, she could get them!
Grandpa and Gramma with Katie
Katie’s foods!
Katie loves real food! So far on this trip, she’s eaten:
- cheddar cheese
- boiled potatoes
- salmon (LOVED IT!)
- cucumber
- mac and cheese
- black olives
- peanut butter and jelly
Family beach walk
It was chilly when we all went out for a walk after dinner, so Katie dressed in her jean jacket before she outgrows it!
The chilly weather certainly didn’t stop Owen from playing in the tidal pools!
I want the iPad, too!
GJ & Katie
Cousins!
Katie’s first beach!
First bathing suit!
Cousins!!
Toes in the water (in a tide pool, which was a bit warmer and lots calmer)!
Notice the sand around the mouth? Yep, it went in! We let her get some, but tried to prevent the big handfuls. 🙂
Doing her yoga poses on the beach!
In the actual ocean surf!
v1.0 and v2.0
Family Breakfast
The Laundry Channel
Katie was entranced by the wash machine. She’s obviously never seen ours at home. 🙂
Good morning sunshine!
Clean baby
Gramma got jammie duty tonight…including socks since the kids’ room gets a little chilly!
More sibling fun!
I could just post the best of the bunch, but sometimes the succession of photos are fun, too.
Oh, and someone likes to pull herself up now!
Owen doing Patty Cake with Katie
Sibling fun
At the beach with grandma!
Headed down to the beach to play with his new remote control truck (a belated Christmas present from Aunt Marilyn and Uncle John). He was EXCITED!
Chasing the seagulls!
And then the shorts came off because they were getting wet.
Myrtle Beach!
Well, technically Garden City Beach, just south of Myrtle Beach.
It was a trip—so to speak—getting here, as I had to load most of the car myself in the rain and then drive the first hour in a major downpour…but really the drive was uneventful.
Hauling in the first of two carts full:
Then Owen asked grandpa David to go down to the ocean. Gramma Jean and I watched from the 15th floor:
Then I decided to be a good mom and go down and take a few pictures (since Gramma Jean could stay with a napping Katie). This is Owen’s new Aqua-Zooka toy!
Coming home:
Miss Katie crawling over and through everything:
Grandma Jean says:
It’s been chilly, but we’ve taken Owen down to the beach and he loves running in and out of the water, even though it is about 52 degrees. His little legs were RED when we brought him back in he first day! He had a smile on his face, so that was worth it. Grampa took him down the first day and was wearing his heavy coat and fur hat while Owen had shorts on.
Katie is 8 months old!
Inquisitive little bugger!
Owen was never this inquisitive. Tom had to pull her out from behind the end table!
A true escape artist!
She went right through the pet door! I’m just glad Tom was up there when we realized it!
Monkey see, monkey do.
It’s only a matter of time before she actually follows him up the stairs…
Escapee!
Someone has figured out our jerry-rigged “baby gate” system.
And this would have been a perfect picture had it been in focus:
Katie goes after what she wants
And this time it’s what Owen has. 🙂
Daddy’s Girl
Katie’s turn!
I had to get Katie the same shirt as Owen!
