Myrtle Beach 2009

Daddy and Caleb on the first morning we were there....
The boys in the pool. Both boys LOVED the pool this year. Luke was like a little fish with all his floaties, and Caleb was just so mellow the whole time.Luke eating his dessert one evening, chocolate pudding with gummy worms! Yum!

"Nwimmin" in the pool...pretty much this is how we saw him all day long.


Caleb in his hat....he hated that thing around his neck!


Luke in his raft. Best 2.99 we ever spent.

Mommy and Caleb by the pool


2 blocks away from our hotel there was a little carnival. And we got Luke a bracelet so he could ride all he wanted. This kid rode every ride he could 2-3 times, if not more. But his favorite were the Bumper Cars and Race Cars. Here he is on the helicopter ride. We stayed out till 11:30 that night! It was so much fun.
Caleb in the morning. Can you believe he is going to be 4!!! months old this Friday??


This is how he sat most of the time when we were down by the pool, unless he was in the pool with us. We just can't get over how blue his eyes are! It's so different to look at Luke with his puppy dog brown eyes and then look at Caleb with his piercing blue eyes you get lost in.
And how big does this little man look sitting like that!!


Mom and the boys...

Luke got ahold of the camera one day and took several pictures of me and his dad. This one makes us laugh....

Playing cars...his most favorite thing to do.
The last day we were there was the only time we had a chance of rain. And from our 21st floor room, you could really see the clouds rolling in over the ocean. It was beautiful. A reminder of God's strength and power....

The boy's feet in the sand.

Every year we get pictures of Luke with his name in the sand...this year we got to do 2 boys. :)


Our family August 2009

Overall, it was an amazing trip.
Unfortunately, Luke did not care too much for the beach this year. A stark contrast to last year if you remember. But we were able to get on the beach one evening for some pictures. We just spent most of our time in the pool and looking out over the ocean from there.
The boys did amazing well on our way back in the 13.5 hour car drive. (I had to get back to help with my cousin's shower on Sunday, so we couldn't split the trip up on the way home). We didn't have any fights, or screaming, or hysterical crying by anyone. Luke
We are so thankful we were able to to take one this year. We didn't know if we would be able to seeing as though we had some many changes in our lives this year, (and one more to announce too! but that's for a different post). But we were able to create so many fun memories and just have time away together. We probably just needed that more than anything. We were able to get rejuvinated and feel more relaxed. And right now, that has been very important.
