playing catch up

This is a bit out of order. I wanted to post some happenings that have been flooding my camera...enjoy!







Monday, we headed to the beach. I usually clean on that day, but the weather was TOO perfect after so many hot days. Vara waiting to leave..
Reid TRULEY braved the water this time. We all sat in it together for a while and when I headed to clean up our things, he stayed enjoying the waves.
This is our dirty little girl at work.

Here are some shots I thought were fun. Reid and Vara love to wrestle together. Really, they are just rolling around each other and Vara sometimes lays on him...its sweet to see them getting so close.

Mark turned 27 earlier this month. We celebrated with family and friends. We hung out till late and ate crabs (mark's been craving them!)

That weekend, Mark flew to Seattle. I missed him SO much, but it was a great weekend. I had a chance to have a day date with Reid...Lori took Vara overnight. We had the best time together! I loved getting that alone time with him. We went to the Heritage for lunch (skipped nap! woo-hoo!), then to an art show at Chick's Beach. Reid loved running around through all the trees and hunting for ducks.

Oh--the first shot is that morning...we were getting Vara to practice her walker. She now is walking around about 40% of the time. Very exciting!!

Reid loves a cactus for some reason. I told him not to touch it, but he did. Ouch!
