Sand Destin 2009

Sand Destin 2009 was a great trip. This year we rented a 5 bedroom house right on the beach. There were the usual suspects, Paul, Ann, Patrick, Colin, Chris, Jess, Layla, Micah, Dan, Me, and Dan Michael. Then we had so guests that rotated in through the week, Bill, Erin and Zack Schultz, Aunt Kathy, Lizzy, and Famous Amos. Our late nights were accompanied by many The Archer Family, The Landry Family, The Charbonnet's and others. We had loads of fun and created many memories.

Dan Michael was a trooper. He did fairly well on the ride up with the help of Amy and a DVD player. Once there he was great. He loved, loved, loved the beach. We pitched a large tent in the mornings and put everything he could ever need under it. We had a pool, his chair for lunch and snacks, we had toys, we had plenty of food and snacks for our hungry man. Dan Michael was referred to as the Sea Turtle as fast as he was placed down on the sand he crawled straight to the water. He spent the whole day on the beach, morning to evening. We were blessed that he enjoyed so much

Summer Days

I've recently started working morning instead of afternoons which seems to be working better for Dan Michael and I. Instead of waiting to go to work all morning long, I now get it over with and get to do fun things with Dan Michael in the afternoons. We like to go swimming, have play dates with friends, Zoo and Aquarium too. Here are a couple of shots of an afternoon that the two us spent at the aquarium.

Where is the time going?

Time is flying bye, Dan Michael is already 10 months. Now that he's on the go its hard to find time to keep up with our blog. We have had a very busy summer far, with trips to Jersey and Sand Destin, play dates and so much more. We are going to try to fill you in on it all.

Trip to New Jersey to see Nanny, Uncle Jay and Nola

May 15, 2009 - May 18 2009

I wasn't sure what to expect of this trip because Dan had to miss out because of work. So Dan Michael's first flight would be my watch. It went better then expected. I scheduled an early flight out, like 6 am, so the baby would sleep. That went well because he slept about 2 hours of the 2 hr 45 min flight. When he woke he was restless and ready to get down to crawl, we managed and people on the flight commented how well he did. Way to go baby boy. The flight home was a packed flight. We flew out at about 7 pm, he slept the entire way home. I'm blessed that he is so easy going.

While in Jersey we spent alot of time playing with Nola and relaxing. We got to celebrate their annual crawfish boil too. They fly up the crawdads from LA the day before. We have so much FUN! We look forward to another visit soon.
