Well............yes, we are still alive! Just before Easter, I lost my computer and have been working on a temporary one ever since then. I have lots of pictures to put on......Easter, Buie's birthday, and now beach pictures. We are currently at the beach and will be here another week or so. The boys have been having a blast down here. This year Mason loves the beach and runs in and out of the ocean.Last year he didn't even want to walk on the beach, because he didn't like the sand. Once he gets wet, he does not like his wet suit rubbing his legs though. Nothing you can do about that, he will have to get over that real soon. My nephews, Hunter(9) and Hudson(5) were here for about 4 days and Mason would not leave them alone. He loved playing with the bigger/older boys!!!Between the rain storms, we have been able to go down the the beach. One of the days when it was raining though, we took Mason and Hunter to bowl. The other rainy days were spent playing Wii. Buie, surprisingly did not love the beach at first. He was scared of the water and the wind, but that was only the first day. From then on, he loved it and stayed down there for hours (when Mason wanted to come back up to the house). Buie played in the tide pools and dug in the sand and played with the tiny fish Chris caught. All in all, it has been much better than last years trip to the beach. Now that we have rested for a few days by ourselves, my step brother and his 3 kids are coming to visit for the weekend. It will be crazy around here again. I will post some pictures soon!
