A few photos from VA Beach and Williamsburg

Since I'm home sick today and loo hasn't uploaded any pictures recently, I've decided to take matters into my own hands...

Tom Sawyer, er, Jr2, took his first walk along the beach (at VA beach back in September). So yes you're right, Sr isn't very timely at uploading pictures either!

Jr2 says, "look dad, all the free sand we can eat!"

Jr2 asks, "did you know that the sand gets really, really wet and splashy here mommy?"

No biting!

Traditions

I know you all want pictures of the kids. Too bad. Today is my anniversary and we celebrated with a new tradition or two.

My favorite is we pulled out the book of our wedding pictures and looked through them and remembered our wedding day together. Then we showed a few pictures to Jr2 who amazingly recognized Mommy and Daddy when they were skinnier and even hugged one of the pictures.

Then Sr bought me some flowers. But not just any flowers. Some flowers similar to what was in the wedding bouquet (but a smaller and cheaper arrangement due to budgetary concerns). So I cleaned off the table and put the beautiful arrangement in the middle for us to enjoy.

Jr2 also made it through the day without biting, so he got to vacuum and eat sherbet. Then he had a tantrum once he had to stop vacuuming. Jr3 enjoyed watching Jr2 vacuum and didn't mind the tantrum. She also enjoyed reading the halloween book Aunt Roo sent. She is quite fascinated by it.

Overall, though, I'd say we had a pretty good day.
