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!
Daddy’s here!
It was chilly again—note the two coats!
Chasing the birds!
Today was the first day I saw tons of coral washed up along the shore…
My boys! (Notice that Owen’s feet are inside Tom’s jacket warming up!)
Trying to get a cool desktop or Facebook cover photo!
Grandpa and Gramma with Katie
Lobster grilled cheese? Yes, please!
I highly recommend this sandwich from The Grilled Cheese & Crab Cake Co. that mom and David brought back for me today!
I also found this magazine article about the restaurant.
Brrrrrrrr!
Since the weather has been unseasonably cool and we didn’t exactly plan for that, Gramma Jean bought herself a new hoodie…and got one for Owen, too!
He was UNBELIEVABLY excited about it and was tearing around like a mad man. He HAD to have the hood up—and he told gramma she had to have hers up as well.

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
Sunset with grandma
Sunrises with grandpa, sunsets with gramma… 🙂
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!
Condo or cruise ship?
The condo we’re staying at is SO close to the ocean that from the 15th floor it looks like we’re on a cruise ship.
Where’s daddy?
Tom had to go back home today while we extended our stay with the grandparents. Of course, all afternoon Owen has been asking where daddy is (he knows he’s at home) and repeating how many “big sleeps” it will be until he comes back (four). But tonight he just looked so dejected as he said:
Where’s daddy? He needs me.
🙁
I want the iPad, too!
GJ & Katie
Robot legs as guns. Of course.
Cousins!
Almost but not quite.
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!
Margaritas, anyone?
When we were in Florida last month I discovered the Kirkland brand margaritas at Costco—holy cow were they good. I wondered why we hadn’t seen them at our Costco… Oh yeah, that’s right, you can only get liquor and liquor-based drinks at ABC stores…which Costco is not. So, I checked South Carolina (since I’d be heading there to visit my mom and David in about a month) and by golly, they carried it. Hot damn! I told my friends that I’d probably buy about 10 of them…and I’m not sure they believed me.
Fast forward a month, and…
v1.0 and v2.0
Pool fun with cousins
Family Breakfast
Cousins at the beach
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.
Where’s the swarm of locusts?
So Owen was yawning today around noon so I asked if he wanted to go take his nap early…and he could sleep in my bed (since Katie was already napping in their shared room).
And he agreed!!! And I got proof he actually slept!
Except it only lasted 45 minutes. 😐
When I told Tom about it later, he said “WTF?!?!? I am looking outside for a swarm of locusts.”
Hee.
