Beach Fun (Part 1)

We went to the beach on Wednesday.

Some good friends of ours came with us,

Jessica, Nate & baby Max.

 Baby Max was due a day apart from Norah but 

was born 3 weeks early.  That boy has crazy skills.

He was all over the place, crawling, standing up,

making Norah look like a total slacker.

 Part of me was jealous that Norah couldn't do all that

yet, then the SANE part feels lucky I can just set her down

and trust she will be somewhat near where I placed her when

I come back : )

 My little baby love turned 8 months old today!  Crazy.

 When did that happen??

  Here is another avocado attempt, gag!

 Maybe she is jealous, here she is pushing Max

 Jessica & Max

 I think he missed the joke.

 Ava & Nate had a really good time playing together.

Here they were pretending to be selling tickets to a movie.

 We had amazing weather, so of course we hit the beach.

 Fun

 Happiness

 Love, love.

 This picture kills me.

 She is such a sweet girl, most of the time...

 Reading up

Jessica & I had a really nice time chatting 

and sharing parenting stories.

I was so happy to have their family come stay,

next time we will have to get Jesse & John 

to join us too!  :)
