Biscayne Beach - Life is a beach.

Yesterday, we decided to actually go play at the beach. After a quick stop at the house to talk to the landlord, we set out for Key Biscayne. We got there early enough to rent an umbrella and 2 chairs so Cai had some nice shade. The girls had a grand time playing in the sand and wading in the water. The water was nice and warm and the breeze made the hot day bearable for those who weren't in the water. The girls even were able to see some fish and walk along the surf watching them swim around.






















Oh, and shot of the front of the house through the car windsheild.

Science Museum

Daddy and Grandma took the girls to the Science Museum on Sunday. They had exibits on "CSI": Crime Sceen Insects, Megaladon, and Snake day. Tekla's favorite part was the snakes.

More about Cai - part 1

After recieving several requests for more pitures of Cai, we decided to take some special for here and you can have at it. I'll even add in the ones I forgot to post for his first hair cut (sorry, yes he got his hair cut at 2.5 months and I didn't post but here you go).

More about Cai

They didn't all fit so here is some more...

Little Dancer

Jael's first ballet recital was yesterday. She did a good job watching her teacher who was behind the curtain :) Jae is the 3rd to run out and the one the camera was mostly centered on. I filmed this balancing the camera on my knee while holding Cai so I appologize for the tilting and such...but you get the picture.

Tekla's Assignment: Improve the following story by adding details.
Pat built a house. The house collapsed.
Tekla's story (as dictated to Mom):
Pat built a house. It was a brick house. It had flowers beside the house. It had a red mailbox. The inside had a pink door, white toilet, no stools, and a glass grey computer. He built it 5 days ago. The house collapsed because a tornado knocked it down. That made him cry.
