baby borrower...

Watching our nephew for the next few days. Today was the crazy day with him, my two neighbor girls, the roof being done, a tree being taken down out front, oh and my kids too. But knock on wood, so far so good... Tomorrow and Friday the big kids are back to school. So it will be just me and the little B-man. (And hopefully no more roofers or tree guys.) I am anticipating lots of TV watching since he is happiest when being held. (Emma is holding him now...) But I'm not really complaining. Exhausting week - I could use some TiVo therapy... And I'm pretty sure he has no opinions about what I watch.

seriously cute, right?

my favorite Justin pic from OBX

Blowing karate kisses - but not to me. Because he is a boy after my heart. And he loves me. But he does not love me SO much. So he won't marry me. He will just love me.

4 children alone in the ocean...

I swear they actually were being supervised... By Deb, I'm assuming since they're all in the same suits in the pic below. Ahhhh...it must be Jack in the pic next to Devin. Deb! Don't let my baby drown! :)

this one makes me laugh...

Um, I think you lost one Deb. Next to Devin. Is it Jack? Julia? Who knows...

boogie boarders

The boogie boards were used a lot this year. Love big kids! The waves weren't perfect for boarding, but the kids made do. Check out Devin and Emma's moves. I especially love the last pic...

We are so funny...

With Kelly's blackberry and my iphone we had instant access to e-mail for both drives. Mostly the exchanges were, "Where are you?" or "Watch out for a speedtrap by exit whatever..." But some of the e-mails back and forth were like these:

Seriously, what's funnier than driving by someone and snapping their picture then e-mailing it to them? The Hartzog picture was taken all stealthy. We had no idea until they e-mailed the pic. Matt swears that he is not purposely flipping them off.

sunset sucker...

I love a good sunset. Here are 3 good ones from our vacation. Next year I think I want to try sunset at Jockey's Ridge or the light house.
