grandparents...

one of my favs... i was nursing james, and nora grabbed the bar and said "nora bar". it was so hilarious!!! she knows the bar is james', and if it's off his feet, she gets annoyed!

sorry about the lack of posts recently... we've been having too much fun!!! these pics kind of work backwards. on tues, we went to "daddy beach". it's a great beach right outside of david's office. so, naturally, he came to meet us. (as an aside, jeffrey's dad also works there, when he's not deployed!!)

the kids thoroughly enjoyed the sand... and chels and i enjoyed the sun!!

oh, and james enjoyed his nap!! what a good boy... he ate, then slept on the beach...

we went to the zoo with the in-laws... the hailes were in town for a long weekend and we had a GREAT time! i think nora would have climbed in the elephant area, if those little wires hadn't been there.

then, we had an appointment for james. he and daddy hung out while we waited for the doctor. his feet look good, but not great. they took x-rays, and the doctor said she liked his feet "clinically" more than on the films. basically, we go back in two months, and if a bone in his heels hasn't moved to the right way, he will have that little tendon surgery. so, we'll see!

nora was so glad to see her friend "yibby" (libby) at home. she talked about her all week!!!

yes, we went home for the first week of june. james was so glad to finally be able to snuggle with his uncle david!!! (and i was so thankful for his baby-sitting!!!)
my bestie came home for a few days while her mister is gone... we had fun!!!

nora loved being with auntie byssa....

nora and jeffrey had fun with mcdonalds. except nora got very good at boxing jeffrey out of any toy he wanted. even if she hadn't wanted it until jeffrey wanted it!!!

james loved to snuggle with mom-mom

and mom-mom loved the two kids....

nora loved to read and play with "grammy-grandpa". she was so sad to see them go!!!

we have been spending a lot of time at the beach recently... on saturday, we went to dog beach, and tired everyone out!!!
