Our Beach Week: the Moments In-Between

We spent so much time at the beach and the pool each day that its hard to believe we had time for anything else...but we squeezed in so much more!




Miles and Noah appeared to be preparing for an endurance coloring event. Anytime there was a moment of downtime, they leaped to the table and got to work.


We introduced the kids-free Schuberts to Noggin. Jason immediately whipped up this Sportacus-style mustache for Lindsey. Work it, girl.


These three amigos hunkered down and completed a 500-piece puzzle in just over 2 hours. Impressive start to the day!



Turns out Uncle Jason still carries a torch for the ninja turtles. He created costumes and story lines all week (here Jason and Noah are fighting bad guys on the deck....this was a reward for Noah finishing his dinner -- nice touch!)




A large collection of my dad's photographs from Ghana were showcased at The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum. His photographs are amazing -- he has a way of capturing people's eyes and facial expressions -- its as if you can see their souls. We are all so proud of him and are excited that his work was shared with so many.




Rock Band was an all-around favorite. Miles loved it almost as much as Gram did!



My dad just got back from a trip to China. He arrived at the beach bearing gifts for everyone...and the boys could not have been more excited. During prayer-time that night, Miles said that it was his favorite part of the day. The next morning Noah said, "Mommy, I want Pop to go to China all the time...so that he can keep brining us presents."



We had an early birthday celebration for Lindsey. Dig in, Noah!


Could my sisters be any cuter?....



......or these boys?
