Flips (or "Thongs" to the west-coasters)!

This picture cracks me up. I took it b/c I wanted to show off Henry's new flip flops (toddler toes in flip flops are adorable). The only time his feet are relatively still is when he is zoned out in front of the TV. In looking at the picture even closer, I had to chuckle b/c he, of course, has the two plastic ice cream cones and bunch of grapes he insists on lugging just about everywhere with him! Never know when you'll need a fake sugar fix...so...carry with you at all times!

Another Beach Day...

After the craziness of the end of May and beginning of June (Grampie was in the hospital for almost three weeks!!)...we headed to the Island and stayed with Papa & Nany for the weekend. A weekend on the Island wouldn't be complete without the required stop at Sand Beach (Henry's favorite!). We didn't leave the house as early as we'd intended and got to the beach just about the time we should have been having lunch and getting H ready for a nap...but...after promising a child a day at the beach...how can you not deliver?We braced for the worst (massive meltdown) but it never came! Guess all that salt air does a toddler (and Mom) good!

Weeds grow quickly...but not as quickly as little boys

Great-Grammie and Great-Grampie returned from their winter "away" in May...

Soon after we arrived at their house for our first visit of the summer, Henry informed us that he needed to be measured on "The wall". Guess what. He's growing like a weed!

For those of you not familiar with the wall...It's where my grandparents have kept track of the "growing up" of all their grandchildren and great grandchildren (myself included). Currently my brother Rob has the spot at the top...for now...

Don't Bother me, I'm working...

Hee hee hee...Here's Henry busy at work hauling dirt up the hill into his garden space (future home of his veggie garden!) I love the mismatched crocks. For about a month he insisted on wearing mismatched shoes. I'm ok with the crocks but drew the line at one owl rain boot and one "fast" sneaker....

Hopelessly Behind...

I think these pictures were from the end of May judging by the Forsythia in bloom... ;-)
