Way too long!

It's been WAY too long since I wrote on my blog.  Pathetically long.  I told myself I wasn't going to be "one of those people" that creates a blog and never adds to it.  Well, what can I say, that's me!!!!

Our family just go back for our first real vacation together....we joined the Yodis and Gummelt families in Corolla, North Carolina last week and had a great time! 

We had some rough surf, a great thunder and lightning storm, awesome kite flying and some sand castle making (and destroying, thanks to Levi:)!  It was great to see old friends and kick their butts in some card games (hey, it's my blog, I can lie if I want to...)

The kids had a great time together--especially when it involved fruit snacks and/or popsicles

We had some ugly weather one day of the trip and our fam went to the Currituck Lighthouse.  The view was amazing, even with the heavy fog, thick humidity and the mosquitoes that love me no matter where I am!

Jacob thrived on the girls (and fruit snacks)...and Levi was happy to join in too :)

I just love seeing Jacob and Levi together, and how much they love each other!

Now for a good laugh--this was our attempt at getting 6 kids under 4 1/2 to look at the same place at the same time...

Last, but not least, this is one of my favorite pictures that I got (even though the lens was fogging up).  Great smile, Pete and Mark!
