P365 (+1) - 2012 - Day 189 - Upgrade
My Wonderful Husband and I finally took the plunge and upgraded our phones. You may remember a post about our old phones and how while we thought they were perfectly fine, My Wonderful Husband's college students thought they looked more like the phones one would get in a Happy Meal....But I digress... We had long discussions about whether or not we "needed" to upgrade and get a data plan and jump into the 21st century and of course the answer was no, not really...but they are pretty cool and I can sooooo get on board with all of the cool things these phones do...(as soon as I can figure it all out...) I downloaded the instagram app along with a few other things and I am having fun playing with my new phone. :-)
P365 (+1) - 2012 - Day 188 - Sweet new baby
The kids and I finally had a chance to meet my friend's sweet new baby today. My friend and I have been on different "kid schedules" these days and our daily runs have had to wait for now with much more important things to be taken care of :-).... but just getting a chance for us to chat (and even get a bit of baby holding in too) was just what I needed today. Thanks friend. xo
P365(+1) - 2012 - Day 187 - The Best Big Brother Award goes to....The Bear!
During low tides there has been a sand bar and the kids have been loving the shallow parts as well as getting past the sand bar to boogie board or jump waves. The only catch is that there can be a deeper section in between that is hard for The Boy to get through on his own. Usually he either asks me or My Wonderful Husband to help him or waits it out a bit until he can do it on his own or takes his boogie board to help him get through. But he also asks his big brother to help him. Today I watched as The Bear walked along side his little brother and helped him through the deeper section. My heart truly swelled. I could not have been prouder of him. I tell the kids all the time that as brothers and a sister, they always need to have each others' backs. They need to watch out for each other and always be there to help each other or cheer each other on. While sometimes I feel like I am talking to myself, it seems that some things do get through.... For truly having his little brother's back today - The Best Big Brother Award goes to The Bear! :-)

Happy 4th of July!
P365 (+1) - 2012 - Day 185 - Just the way I like it...
The ocean was just the way I like it today at low tide - warm, calm, not too deep... it was also as clear as glass which was cool but can sometimes freak me out - it's the age old dilemma of whether or not I want to see what is swimming along side me. But today all I saw were shells, so it was all good and I had fun swimming with the kids.

P365(+1) - 2012 - Day 183 - The Money Shot....
It was one of those days when not too much was going on.... I finished up some chores around the house, Eric taught surf lessons, he and the boys watched the Italy/Spain game, The Princess and I bought some new nail polish and gave ourselves manis and pedis, we had a yummy dinner and just relaxed tonight... I got a couple of random pictures through the day- but nothing that said picture of the day.... Then, while they were watching the latest storm roll in before bed, I grabbed my camera and asked them to get together... and there you have it - The Money Shot!
