Run Away!

We've got to watch our fast little man---if you turn your back for a second, he's off, wandering down the garden path towards freedom. Luckily this day the bike trailer caught his interest, and he was stalled in his escape.

Cool Dude.

Oliver got new sneakers--his running shoes--and insists on wearing them with his sox pulled ALL the way up. It looks awesome.

Arboretum Conversation

Oliver and Jack were in the middle of a very serious conversation about Jack's shorts when I interrupted them...

and made them wave.

Ocean City...Again!

I believe it is now official: we are beach bums. We go every chance we get--and the beautiful thing is that we get there so early, we're able to stake out half the beach so we feel like we're there by ourselves. Yesterday we were on the beach at 8:45 in the morning...and we started digging our requisite "pit". This one was pretty cool, had a nice tunnel to the water, although the waves never got close enough to fill it up.

Once the pit digging had ceased to be enough entertainment, Mike decided he wanted to bury me. I said no, so he promptly buried himself and Oliver.

We took Kiernan on a nice long walk, and he passed out to the sound of the waves. Yet again, another great day at the beach!

Big Cubbies Fan

Or maybe he's just a Sam Fuld fan, but either way, we've been having lots of fun watching uncle Sam tear it up in the majors!

Catching Fireflies

After going into the city for the 4th, we came back and caught fireflies on our back deck. Emily and Eliza came over to help us catch the bugs---bringing merriment and blueberries to the festivities. A wonderful way to spend an evening.

4th of July

Jebby and Jason (and Lola and Lolo) came to visit for the 4th. We had a very full house, but we had lots of fun. We did miss the Arnolds (in the Hamptons) and the Mixons (in Arkansas) this year, and our float was a bit lame, but we still had a wonderful day! We even went in and saw the Liberty Bell--clearly that's festive, right?

Another Day at the Beach!

On July 3rd, we took a quick trip down to the beach. It was, as always, fabulous! It was also great watching all the traffic heading to the beach as we were leaving---made us feel nice and smug!

Mike got bit by this crab, so we kept him for a little while as a pet. After about 10 minutes, Oliver wanted to let him go so he could go be with his mommy.
