Rest and Relaxation

We recently returned from a week on the Atlantic. Long Beach Island in New Jersey was our home base for seven fun filled days. Sand, surf, salt water and sun kept us busy, and good food and cappuccino filled our evenings. Six adults and eight children and one dog and no sun burn or major injuries and only a few hurt feelings. Mainy we just enjoyed the company of family: talking, eating and Blokus. Check out the slideshow.

Other than our vacation we are really getting ready for Rainy going to kindergarten. Torrent has been in Executive Assistant training, where Rainy show him the ropes before she is gone. The babies are doing great. Sanguine is gaining more and more coordination, mainly with her feet. She is almost as likely to reach for a banana with her feet as her hands. Dare is cruising big time. He has already taken the first few steps on his own but for the most part he still choosing to crawl or hang on to something. He has a few molars and his smile is getting bigger everyday.
