Beach Cousins

I forgot to post this picture, but this is from our trip to Florida to see my cousin Markie graduate from High School. We didn't actually make it to the graduation itself, but the afterparty was quite an event (don't mess with Jenn when she's checking ID's).

This is Alex with his future cousin. I love this picture, they just look so cute together on the beach. I do think Alex would fit in quite well with the beach scene. He seemed to inherit his absolute love of the beach and ocean from his mother. Don't get me wrong, I love the beach too, but Jenn's love borders on obsession and even worship.

Candler Park Festival

The Candler Park Festival was a lot of fun this year. Alex got his face painted (very scary, I know). Mom's leg was bothering her and Jenn is still not feeling well, so we didn't last too long.

Things are going well. We should be finding out whether we are having a boy or a girl soon. I can't wait to find out! Keep your fingers crossed for a girl. Of course, as always, we'll be just as happy with a boy as long as it has all 10 fingers and 10 toes. I think we would even settle for something that's maybe just a finger short or something...

We're going camping with the ex-neighbors this weekend, and can't wait to head out. Alex has been going on all day about "smarshmallows" and chocolate. It's funny because no one but Jenn seems to actually like eating the smores as a whole, but the good thing about the smores is that they are made out of three things, and everyone is bound to enjoy at least one or two of those things. I think the best part of the whole experience is for Alex to have a legal, acceptable, and even encouraged excuse to play in the fire.
