Beach day

Every now and then when it gets really cold in the rest of the country we like to go the beach just to show off. We enjoyed a beach afternoon yesterday and it was pretty great. Ethan was the happiest boy in the world - he just couldn't believe his luck at all the sand, rocks, shells and birds. Emerson and I built a sand castle and threw a lot of rocks into the water. It was a blast.

We left just before sunset and Emerson got sad once he was in the car.

"I wanted to see the splash!" he explained.

You know, when the setting sun hits the water.

(I like this one because it shows off my teeth.)

Where does the time go

Hmm, it appears to have been almost three weeks without an update. I'm so sorry! We are still here. I have a range of excuses including that I spent a week out of commission with The Flu (which the kids did not get, thank goodness), I have been very busy with my professional work and I have done a terrible job remembering to take photos, but I know you aren't interested in excuses - you want updates!

Here's a shot of the boys entertaining themselves while I made dinner tonight. It's amazing how entertaining some water, bowls and bottles can be, especially when spilling is not a problem. I did not manage to get a video of them both splash-dancing in the giant puddle they were so delighted to create.
