CRRRAAAASSSHHHH!

On his way to work Tuesday, Jeremy had a run in with a FALCON! You can't really tell, but the shatter looks like an angel! The falcon actually flew into his windshield. He had hoped it died-stupid bird- but Jen came along a few minutes later and saw it still flying.

BIG GIRL FOOD!

Addison is moving on to more big girl food. She had fried chicken (a southern girl HAS to eat that at an early age!) at the beach. Here she is eating Cheerios and Gerber Puffs. Next: A side of beef- she's a hungry girl!

ALLIGATOR ADVENTURE

What a big 'gator!

Dad & Addison braving the heat to check out the 'gators!

Hmmmm- I hope this 'gator isn't hungry!

Petting the baby alligator! It feels hard and spikey.

Addison staring down the 'gator. She is a bit envious of all of his teeth!

LUKAS & THE LOBSTER

We went to a seafood restaurant that has a game that allows you to catch a lobster- Lukas wanted to play. What happened next, but he and Pa Pa caught a lobster. Sounds great right? Well maybe not when you consider that of the 5 adults and 3 kids there- Jeremy & Brandon were the only 2 that could eat it due to allergies. Alex kept calling it a "dumpster" or a "lobber".

MORE BEACH PICTURES

What big waves!

Addison thinks sand is yummy!

Building sand castles

Our happy family

Jeremy splashing in the waves!

Addison made a friend. He showed her the clam digger he caught!

DINNER WITH THE BINES

The Bines are our friend Matt's parents who live in Myrtle Beach. Matt was not in town for the holiday, but we were able to have dinner with his parents. It was a lovely evening- even if Addison did scream for her dinner- but that is nothing new!

CHILLIN' AT THE BEACH

Alex checking out the drinks

Lukas & PaPa in the waves "surfing"

Alex and Pa Pa wading in the ocean.

Sleepy Addison. We didn't have Pickles (her lion) to help her go to to sleep- so the water bottle had to suffice! AND IT WORKED!

Beach Babe!

She drew SO MUCH attention from the people on the beach! Nah- she doesn't mind comments from her adoring public!

Lukas' toes made an interesting and entertaining toy!

Nap Time!

Wipe out!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Jeremy & Lukas on Megan's jet ski

After a LONG day in the sun and sand- Lukas, Alex and Addison conked out on the boat

Hangin' out in the super cool chair that Me Me bought me Addison really liked the beach! She YELLED at the waves for making so much noise.

The sand did not bother her at all!

SAILING AWAY

Well, pontooning away, at least. Addison actually seemed to like the life jacket! After nursing(yes, add that to the growing list of places Jen has nursed/pumped!) she dosed off to the rocking of the boat.

GO CORNELL!

Check out Addison's cool t-shirt Uncle Seth sent! He attended Cornell and we are hoping he will be so proud of Addison when she is accepted that he will pay the tuition! Oh wait- she will have a scholarship for all of her many talents and good grades and will not need Seth to cover the costs!

6 MONTHS AGO...

Wow! I get chills thinking about all that has happened to our little family in the last 6 months...

There are really no words for it, just ABSOLUTE joy!

We were a little remiss (is that the proper usage of that word?) in getting a 6 month picture ON her 6 month birthday, so here are some pictures from her 6 months, 2 days photo shoot. Enjoy!
