Unwinding

We've had a lot of gloomy rainy days here, and not much in the way of new and exciting photos. But here is a cute moment Aaron called me in to capture a few nights ago by saying "Honey, come look at all of our babies..." And here is what I found-- all four snuggled in and watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory together.

Petting Stingrays

Alaire actually would prefer to not touch the stingrays, but she still enjoys climbing up on the side of the pool and putting her hands in the water when the stingrays are not within reach. :)

Old Friends in Town

Last week our friends Clint and Tiffany brought their family to the beach for vacation. Since we hadn't seen them in at least a hundred years, we were so excited when they called to say they were in town! We spent the last day of their trip with them at their condo and had so much fun. The jellyfish kept us away from the beach, but the kids were happy as clams to spend the entire day in the pool. Our girls loved playing with little Emma, Curran and Mikey were so adorable together, and I just loved seeing Aaron and Clint together again and listening to all their craziness!

More Sliding Fun

All the kids got a real kick out of Daddy zooming down the slide with them!

Meanie Face

Curran makes the cutest little meanie face, but he cannot do it without cracking a big smile immediately afterwards! Little cutie!

Another Wonderful Visit from Family

Our Aunt Becki (my brother Travis's wife) and her sweet parents Mr. Byron and Ms. Evelyn (whom we absolutely consider part of our family) vacationed here last week. We enjoyed the fun sleepovers here at our house with Aunt Becki, and we also enjoyed spending time with them at their hotel, in the pool, at the beach, and even at Gulfworld! We loved having you all here! We thank you for your visit, and we hope you will decide to come and see us again!

We love our Aunt Becki!
