Sunday night Melissa's sister and her two friends, Priscella and Claire watched all the kids. They were all in bed by 8pm. Good job girls!
We all went to dinner and then the post race concert(INXS).

Melissa and Pat(otherwise known as "PITT" by little Matthew)

I have always loved INXS, even now.

We had...

a great time...

Tim had excellent sand digging tools

Maya snoozed daily when on the beach

Michelle joined Maya
I buried Bryan
Jen and Michelle did Monday night's themed dinner...foods that start with the letter "P" from the game Scattegories( IT WAS GAME NIGHT).
We ate pigs in the blanket, Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, Pizza, Peanut Butter Ice Cream, Party Cake Ice Cream and played ping-pong!

This was the night the kids went in the pool after having their jammies on! All we could do was laugh. It was so much fun.

We celebrated Colin's FIRST birthday and Melissa's 30 something...

(Is that right, Mel?) ...and is great.

The sand lies around like the snow where I grew up in PA.

Behind our house was Tuna Lane and all the houses have these dolphins

My Mom reminded me that last year on Labor Day we were visiting this angel in Guatemala. We had no idea when she would be able to be in our arms forever. Coming home without her was one of the hardest things I have had to do.

Now we are in reality...check out what these two thought of Mommy and Daddy taking a picture of them together!

Bryan took this photo of us...I kid you not...it was his first. He held the camera a little tilted, but steady!
