Jack & Spencer's World

This year, I was bound and determined to have a family vacation and really hoped that we would end up at a beach. Well, we did it. We went to Myrtle Beach for a few days. What happens as soon as we arrive? A hurricane threatened to cut our vacation short! We spent a lot more time watching the Weather Channel than expected. End the end, we left a 1/2 day early to take advantage of clear weather on the drive back to Greensboro. Today, we are safe in Greensboro watching the hurricane make landfall on the coast and hoping that all of our friends and family in the Northeast are safe. It will be interesting to see what happens in New York City. Back to the vacation: we had a great time at the beach. Jack and Spencer saw the ocean for the first time. While I'm sure Spence was impressed, Jack probably got more out of the experience. The boys went swimming and floated on an innertube with their Daddy. The pool was by far the big hit with Jack. He didn't like the beach and ocean - fr

Mommy and daddy got a little carried away with the bubbles.

Last weekend, we took our first roadtrip as a family of four. We went to Massachusetts to see family, introduce Spencer, and celebrate Jack's 2nd birthday. All around, it was a fun weekend. Spencer did well being passed around among cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. He generally took everything in. Jack had a blast playing with all of the toys and vehicles at Mimi and Poppy's (who needs Whalom Park?) and seeing Julia, Connor, and Jake. Jack learned to drive a toy car. Billy even tricked out the car with a custom licence plate that sports a picture of Jack and a naked lady light - because what two year I'd doesn't appreciate a naked lady silhouette (think cheesy mudflaps on bigrigs)?  Now Jack only has to learn how to steer and watch where he's driving. Details, details. The birthday celebration was fun too. Jack (and Spencer) received many fun gifts and new clothes (at least Mommy likes these!). Big thanks to everyone for making it such fun.
