Mini-beach vacation

Ron was out of town, and Erin and I took the kids to a friend's beach house. We had great good fun - even though the weather was June-Gloom-in-May (probably good for me!)...

Celebrations!

May is the month of celebrations! We celebrated Taylor's First Communion, Mother's Day (with a very special gift for his mom, made by Trey, who wants to be an artist), and Alex's first birthday! Come to think of it, we could also celebrate Jack's potty training, but somehow I don't have an appropriate picture! Suffice it to say that, with the help of Trey's hand-me-down underwear and Granny's carefully drawn baseballs on a few generic white pair, Jack has decided that yes, it is all right to give up his diapers!
