Beach Trip 2008 (part 2)

here's the house "Sugar Magnolia" we stayed at:

Playing around on the wrap around porch. Abby really liked to sit on those stairs.

FINALLY!!!! Whew~ I got a shot of her with the cherry sunglasses on her face. She's usually too busy playing with them. Pls excuse her nose and massive drool. Her molars that poked in are coming in fierce! She now has 12 teeth :) She managed to catch a cold @ the beach... poor girl. I took off the most offensive boogers in photoshop (as you can tell I'm not very good at it).

Beach Trip 2008 (part 1)

We just got back from our annual beach trip. This year we went to Topsail Island, NC and rented a new (to us) house. The house was so extremely nice and overlooked the ocean & playground.

On Father's Day Abby, Nick & I went for a stroll along the beach.

I love the birds in the background

The playground directly across the street was a big plus. Here's Abby on the dinosaur. Hands down her all-time favorite is the classic swing. But its pretty hard to take pictures of her in it... we met a 5 mo puppy Bulldog named Torro. We should have gotten a picture of them, they were both so happy to meet.

Time to smell the flowers

We went to church on Sunday. Which lately is not as frequent as I know we should. Lately one of us is sick (usually Abby) so taking a cranky, screaming baby is not ideal. I also do not want to take a sick baby to their nursery. We are very against parents that purposely do that (esp @ daycare!!)


Anyway... Abby wore a new dress she got from her birthday (thanks Auntie Jayne & Uncle Scott). She looked so pretty and it was such a nice day, I took Abby outside for a few pictures.
This one is such a classic Abby these days.
