life's a beach
at long last, here's a quick look at our trip to the beach. jack loved the sand, loved the water, and loved hanging out with the other kids.
more details on jack's beach preferences to come, but for now, just enjoy the pictures, because life's a beach.

on the road
in mommy's early morning fog she didn't think to capture a photo of her friends as they dropped her off, but she can picture them driving along ... like thelma & louise but without the estrogen (and hopefully the cliff!)

black eyed pea
which one of these is mommy referring to?
yes, race fans, you guessed it. number three. the eyes have it. and fergie's got nothin' on me.
jack (accidentally) knocked mommy in the face ... more specifically, the right eye ... this morning, giving her what's known as a shiner.
and the weapon of choice? the little tikes suit case shape sorter.
anyway, mommy's not really ready for her closeup. but the only crying that was done was by jack who was freaked out by the whole thing (and by mommy's rapidly swelling eye). that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

weekend update - extended dance remix
"Let me explain…no, there is too much. Let me sum up"
- Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride
apologies to the blog faithful who took mommy at her word when she said, "'til tuesday." it's wednesday. i'm aware of that. but there was just so much weekend to update that it took longer than anticipated. and, there is more to come ... but for now, some highlights:
thursday found jack, mommy and daddy leavin' on a jet plane -- headed to hotlanta!
and we do mean hot. it was broiling. but despite the swelter, jack had a great time visiting with his grandparents and aunt & uncle, and playing with his cousins (and his cousins' toys!).
they had so many fun toys, jack didn't know which one to play with first. so, instead ... he tried to play with all of them at once!
another highlight of the trip: doggies! aunt amy & uncle bill's two large pups were favorites of jack's. he's not used to animals actually liking him. he started out bribing with food ...
and soon they were the best of friends!
we all had a great time at the atlanta's children's museum where there was so much to do!
and it was nice to take a break and just hang out with the boys. right, cuz?
it was a wonderful long weekend and we're so glad to have created those memories and shared that time!
after another good flight, jack is now back home.
and we're already looking forward to our next visit with daddy's crazy clan!
