The beach... again!

We have discovered that the children absolutely love the beach. It's incredible how they can stay occupied for hours non stop with just a few toys, lots of sand and water. We've also found that it's really relaxing for us too. Since it's so close to home (1 1/2 hrs), we're trying to go as often as possible. Here are pictures from yesterday's trip. Enjoy!








I told you I don't like hats!!!!



















The wedding

Most of you who read this blog know who our dear friend and neighbor Anne is. Remember, she's the one who saves us when one of the children is sick, wherever we are in the world, whether it's Antigua Guatemala, Lausanne Switzerland or simply Gainesville Florida. Anne is not only the best nurse practicioner but also the best neighbor in the world. We were extremely happy when she told us that she had met a wonderful man and then even happier when she told us that they were getting married. Their wedding was beautiful, even though our entire family was sick: Oscar just had oral surgery the day before and was in a lot of pain, I had an upper respiratory infection and was not feeling good at all and both kids had a cold! But we made it there and enjoyed every second of it. Anne and Buck make a wonderful couple and we are so happy that they have found each other. We wish them a lifetime of happiness!!

The beach

The weather here has been wonderful in the upper 80s so last Sunday, we decided to go to the beach. It's only an hour 1/2 away from our house, so we packed the car and there we went. We all had so much fun!!















Surprisingly enough, we actually managed to make them take a nap there!





and there we're off to play again!
