a slow, quiet day


the day started out with cool temps...so we went for a walk after breakfast. after the AM nap (once again family nap!) we headed to the indoor pool...garrett played IN the pool for an hour & a half! he mostly loved watching the bigger kids being thrown into the water/around the pool by their dads, blowing kisses to older women (ages 6ish-40ish) & squirting a little plastic frog!

after lunch, garrett hit the hay (we managed not to go to sleep once again, though) & brian went for a bike ride around rosemary & i spent some time relaxing with a book (it's 'twilight' & i've started it for the third time...despite the hype, i'm still not totally convinced it's a *good* book...we'll see).

the weather finally cleared & we made it onto the beach & to one of the other pools in the community. they were both short lived little trips as it was getting late in the day. but we had so much fun today...seeing all sorts of fun things about garrett's personality; listening to the little man jabber on to everyone he sees, talking to them just like he does to us...enjoying a leisurely dinner of takeout, just me & brian...it's so nice to be in such a beautiful place...enjoying my boys...

garrett's ALWAYS on patrol...checking out everyone & everything...from other kid's sand castles to their moms laying on the beach to the giant poodles on the boardwalk.

garrett & mommy in the pool @ day's end...can you tell? mommy's tired...once again, baby girl is on the MOVE in my belly...tiring me out.

this is one tired & hungry little baby! but still...so freakin' sweet!

SO glad you are having such a fun time! It looks like G really had a blast. Good thinking getting a little family time before the girl arrives, this will be a special memory for sure.

p.s. Twilight is "fun" but I wouldn't say a *good* book. It's funny b/c some people think it's the best stuff they've ever read- ha!
