Beach Babes

Over the weekend, we went to Gulf Shores with Eric, Christie, and Hannah. The girls had a good time and the adults did too!!

Asleep on the beach...

Photos on the balcony...

Let them eat cake...and lip gloss!

For the 4th of July, MJ felt like some cake. What Nanny wants, Nanny gets... along with a big mess on her floor!

Anna wanted to do a little role reversal

Nanny and Poppy brought Anna some lip gloss from Remy's Bar Mitzvah party favors. She thought it would look good everywhere BUT her lips!

YUMMY!!

Fishy Bananas??

We went swimming with Hannah and Christie. The banana twins had a great time!

OK, so they spent more time OUT of the water than in...

Sun-ripened Bananas

Anna loves Fritz! She gives him lots of hugs and kisses

Anna enjoys shopping around the house...

And playing outside...

And visiting with Grandma and Grandpa...

Yesterday, Donna and Amelia came over. Donna made some edible fingerpaint and the girls went to town!

Spanish Lessons

We had dinner with our friends from Spain last night. While Jose, Susana, Shaun, and I talked, Laura and Barbara entertained Anna. Here's a game that all young children in Spain know, where the horse walks, trots, gallops, and then the rider falls off...

Vacation without the Boss!

While we went to Cancun, Anna stayed at Nanny and Poppy's. Fritz stayed with Grandma and Grandpa.

We went to Cancun again because a tropical storm hit us when we were there on our honeymoon three years ago. We thought that we would be ok if we went BEFORE hurricane season started...

Well, we were wrong. A tropical storm pretty much sat over us for about 5 days. These photos were taken during the last two days we were there.

Oh well. It was a nice, RESTFUL vacation, since our boss didn't come. However, we have decided that we won't be away from her for that long again. We missed her!!

What'cha doin' pruney, stewin'?

This is our attempt in early May to get Anna to eat some (badly needed) prunes. Only Fritz could convince her, using reverse psychology. I wonder where he learned that??
