A Tuesday Evening

Our video camera called it quits several months ago and we finally got a replacement about a month ago. I am so glad to have a video camera again but alas this also means we have video, which means it must be organized and stored, which means more shtuff to do on the computer. We also got Adobe Premiere to edit the video which means new software to learn, which means much frustration and vexation of spirit. But enough complaining. Here is a video of a Tuesday evening in September. There is no editing and some issues with focusing and for some reason the quality is really poor BUT I did add some jazzy Caribbean music to distract you. PS.. the water has turned cold for the winter so we will be giving beach post a break for awhile. Your welcome.

Six Years

Turns out, if you do the math, this little peanut turned 6 last week.

I've never did like math.

Let's take a walk down memory lane...

We had friends down a few days before Lucas's actual birthday so we did a quick impromptu party at the beach. It turned out to be the first non-sunny and 70 day since the beginning of July. It actually rained...or spit twice which is good enough to be called rain around here. All of this might have dampen the spirits (and perhaps did dampen some adult female spirits) but then a rainbow appeared. A beautiful, bright, full rainbow that eventually turned into a double rainbow. The children danced, shouted, pointed, laughed and screamed (and perhaps the adults did a bit too). Who knew a drizzled out party at the beach could be so wonderful. Thank you, Lord for the rainbow and our little big boy.

On his actual birthday we thought we would do something different and fun as a family. Turns out, if you do the math, everything fun in San Diego costs massive money. I tell ya, math stinks! So, we did what this family does best, we went to the beach again. For dinner Lucas got to pick which restaurant we went to. He picked Chuck E. Cheese. Good thing his birthday comes but once a year. The Pascoe's joined us so at least the fellowship was yummy.

A few picts of my baby...

She is getting more adventurous with her standing, even letting go of her support for a few moments at a time. Her new smile - she has four new teeth and isn't afraid to use them.
And this one because she looks so big.

And one more because I have to take this precious face to the doctor this morning for possible ear infection. I hate it when they're sick.
