Sweet Summer Time

What a fun few months its been!  We kicked off our summer vacations with a trip to Myrtle Beach with the Beavers crew. The cousins LOVED playing together on the beach and at the water park, and we tried Benjamin in a "big" bed for the first time.  This was successful...sort of.  But hey, you have to start somewhere!  Great, fun time with this fabulous family!

And, we just got back from our annual trip to DeBordieu with Vie and Papa.  I was able to go with the kids for the whole week this year, with Derek joining us on Tuesday.  We were so relaxed, as usual, with lots of home cooking and beach/pool time.  We love that little colony!

While we've been enjoying all of this vacation time, we've enjoyed some BIG kiddo milestones, too.  Though Benjamin has been entertaining "pee-pee-ing" in the potty, he pooped in the potty for the first time at DeBordieu.  AND, Madeline is officially swimming like a fish.  She's so brave and has come so far in such a little bit of time.  

It has been the best summer so far with our little blessings.  This time with them just gets sweeter and sweeter.
