And we're back...

Yes, it's been a while since I posted last. Honestly, I go through phases with Blogger and lately I just haven't felt much like posting. Specially since my computer is being so annoying lately.

Anyway, guess what Andrew is doing in this picture?!

That's right! Playing Tennis on his Wii!!

Chadya, you asked for pictures...here are our Miis. And unfortunately (fortunately?) it's been so nice out and we've been so busy, we've hardly had time to play on it. I've only used it once. I think Dave and Alexis have played more than Andrew has.

Anyway, this is his birthday present. I ordered it with Airmiles. That's while it took so goshygolliedlong to get here. Better late than never though, right?

Elisabeth riding her car. She loves this thing and will play on it for ages. She can actually keep herself balanced on it fine too. But she doesn't like walking behind it. Figures.

Chatting with Davey.
I had to get a picture of her with the nebulizer. She's actually singing behind the mask which is why the funny face. We only used it for four days. Then the steroids were giving her a rash on her face so we quit. She seems mostly better now anyway.

One day last week we had a picnic outside. Davey was really excited to be outside with food again. But who am I kidding? *I* am excited that it's picnic weather again too! YAY for spring summer!!

Tinky does this great little face these days. She wrinkles up her nose and the Schlappi in her totally comes out.



Davey does not like spiders. Like he freaks out whenever he sees one and will cry till you get rid of it. Uncle Dave is like that too. (Yes, even the crying). So Dave decided to teach Davey to be brave around spiders so that he won't embarrass himself in his adulthood. Here Davey is using a broom to get rid of them all before he climbs up into the fort.




Okay, those were all random pictures from the last week. The following are all from yesterday. We decided to have lunch on the beach at Crescent Beach. OH YUMMY. Sandwiches, watermelon and later icecream in the fresh air. SO perfect! (And then we got home and Dave and Alexis were making pizza for dinner. So a TRULY PERFECT day!)

Here Davey is pointing out all the kites on the beach. There were a LOT! One guy had a kite kind of like the kind you do the kite surfing with and he was flying it from the beach. He was often lying with his head about a foot from the ground with his body perfectly straight while the kite tried to pull away, but what really scared me was when he'd be frantically diggin his heels in the sand and the kite fighting to pull him away for real. I don't know if anyone was close enough to grab his heels and save him...

Tinky loved her first try of watermelon.

And her first time paddling in the water...
In fact, she cried if you wouldn't let her walk on the sand/water...

Watching bubbles appear in the water.

Later we all built a rock pile. Well, Davey supervised.


Tinky does this thing with her arm. It's almost like she's practicing ballet poses and all the arm positions. Very cute.


Ice cream face.



And back home again, the kids wanted to sit together and talk while they ate.
