Beach Day.

It's true.  Lucas has never spent a whole day at the ocean.  Well,
actually wait a minute.. he has been to the Atlantic ocean, once.  On a
family holiday we took to the Netherlands.  We spent a day in Katwijk on
Zee when he was just 10 weeks old.  But not that he remembers.  So,
finally after living on the West Coast five whole years, he finally got
his day at the beach.

Carter - 2 months

Seriously.  I can’t believe I’m even typing this.. two months?? How on earth did they fly by so fast?  Sigh… we are enjoying you so much.

In the last month you have:

Sat around your first campfire.
Gone for plenty of walks in our new stroller.
Celebrated your first ever Father’s Day with Daddy.
Kept us awake in the middle of the night cooing and smiling.
Attended your oldest brother Lucas’ preschool graduation.
Went camping for the very first time.
Slept 8 hours straight through the night.

So sometimes when things seem bleak, when we’re all not getting enough sleep, and Daddy has got a fever of 102 and sleeps all day, and Mommy is trying to keep your brothers from destroying the house, (and each other), and it feels like you’re eating non-stop, and it seems the to-do list and work around here just keeps piling up, and for the life of me I cannot figure out what to make for dinner, you look up at me with those eyes, and all those worries fade away.  We love you little guy.  So much.
