4 months

Our little sunshine celebrated his 4 month birthday on July 12th.
He had a rough time (again) with his immunizations, but was feeling much better a few days later.

Evyn "helping" Andrew with his Bumbo seat, and catching bubbles at our favorite toy store:









And just for fun - some pictures of Evyn at the same age:




Look at that crazy hair! Chubby baby. Evyn was eating solids (cereal) at 4 months. We're still waiting for Andrew to show any interest in food. He also doesn't sit up quite as sturdily as Evyn did at this age, so we'll wait just a bit longer. We'll probably skip the cereal this time around and go right to the good stuff :)

cutest kids ever.

no bias here, nope!


Evyn made a card for her friend Katherine. The picture on the right is of Katherine winning a race (stdat = start)

home sweet home

We may not have a beach or fresh-caught shrimp....
....but we do have fresh farm produce and an inflatable pool!



We walked to the farm on a recent afternoon for corn, cantaloupe,
and tomatoes, then cooled off with a swim.

beach 2009 - days 5-8

Like painted kites those days & nights they went flying by....
unlike our blog, which has been stuck on our vacation
for almost 2 weeks now!


So without further ado, here are the rest of our NC pictures (not in chronological order, since blogger likes mixing them up):

our view of the ocean, from the deck

packing up to go home!

i love how i (quite unintentionally) caught Scott & Evyn in the background...

Evyn asked me to photograph the sunrise on the way home.
she thought it was neat to be awake to see it.

i'm probably the only person who would grab the camera at a rest stop.
