The reason why …

Westi and Emmett(Whoops… wrote the following paragraph when we first got back to the beach and never finished it for posting. My excuse this time? We’ve been busy! It’s more fun to play with and care for Emmett and Grace than it is to write about it. And now our internet connection at the beach is on the blink while we wait for a replacement part for the satellite dish. I’m at the kids house, writing this while Emmett and Grace nap, Westi works, and Mike and Steve work on a project for their new-to-them travel trailer. We’re all set up at our trailer for babies now, with a Pack-n-Play, diapers, bottles, formula, play mat, sun hats, etc. It’s amazing what we can fit in a 21 foot space!! I’ve been taking pictures and will get them posted … I promise … but Grace is beginning to fuss so it won’t be now. More about last Sunday’s adventure with Dottie and Lure Coursing to come too!)

Oh yeah… this is why we tore ourselves away from our new home and drove over 1700 miles to California. Now I remember! Before we were even fully parked, Mike and Westi showed up at our campsite with bundles of baby snuggled on their chests. It is blissful to be with Emmett and Grace again! I babysat, along with Grandma Deborah, while the kids worked today, and Steve got us settled into the campground. Folks seem genuinely happy to see us and the foggy cool weather, though a shock to our Texas-acclimated systems, helped keep the crowds away.

    What a great surprise when I came downstairs to check emails. Even got Westi! The photos are great. I am
    waiting to hear all the rest of the stories. You two
    are just having too, too much fun but I am glad you are.
    Can’t wait to see all of you. love you all

    Shaun and I both had the reaction of, “Look how long he is!”. Is he a long kiddo or is that just the angle in the picture. Thanks for the post and the pictures. More, more, more please!!!!!!!!!

    Via Mom is sounds like you are all having a great time. I wish I was there too!

    Life here is less stressful because I no longer teach 3rd grade! I am taking a technology class to use technology in the classroom and learning some fun stuff and getting good kid websites. I am ready to sleep in on Friday though and really let my summer begin!

    I agree with Michele! Didn’t even know those were your
    pj’s. It is still hard to beliee you are a mom with two
    babies. I guess I need to see you in that role and the
    photos at least help. I know you are both excellent parents ( a little bird tells me)! Emmett does look long
    in the photo. Laura says he is big! and Grace is dainty.
    Miss you all. At least we will get to see MIchele and Shaun this weekend. Happy Father’s Day, Mike and STeve!
    love you all
