I couldn't get over how handsome and grown-up he looked. 
I fed my children an unhealthy amount of green food coloring, but they had so much fun with the green eggs, green milk, and green applesauce.
Trevor was NOT, however, happy that I snuck some authentically green stuff into his green eggs, i.e. spinach. That kid can pick a veggie out of anything!
....then we waited.
...and when we ran an errand to the bank, the little green guys snuck in and left something special...
It's been raining a lot the last few days. So after day after day of rushing from car to house trying to stay dry, we decided to play in the pouring rain. It was so. much. fun. I'll never forget the laughter, the joy, and the puddle-splashing until we were soaked from head to toe! :)
She says it a lot now. And needless to say, it has caught on. :)
We love Acworth Beach. It's always packed in the summer, but on the off-season we often find ourselves with the whole beach to ourselves. :)
Ali (aka "Essie"--short for Bestemor, the Norwegian word for Grandmother) flew down from Boston last week--we loved having her here! Pop sent his love from the wintery north. 
The kids were so excited to go into the airport to pick her up.
My little bag lady insisted on carrying a purse. 
We love Essie!
