Back from Vacation

We made it home from our vacation this past Sunday after spending a week with the Dowiak clan in Duck, NC. We lucked out and had beautiful beach weather the whole week. There were a couple of rainstorms that made their way through during the night (we had one black out!), but during the day it was warm enough to make our way to the ocean. It was wonderful to spend some time away from home and just enjoy being around family for the week. Miles really enjoyed sailing with Nate and swimming in the waves. It took him all week...but he got rid of his farmers tan! I enjoyed catching up with family and watching Autumn discover the ocean.

By the time we left Autumn was really starting to get use to the water and sand. I took her swimming two days ago and she has really turned into a water baby! She has no fear anymore when it comes to jumping in and out of the pool. And I'm happy to report that she now goes under the water by herself without getting upset. Now I'm the one who really has to keep my eye on her when we go swimming! It is fun watching her run and swim with all of the other kids at the pool.

And an update on Grammie...she's now home and recovering nicely. We were able to visit last night and actually went to a free concert in South Park. Autumn was a hoot dancing to the music, and Grammie enjoyed watching her work the crowd!

I have no picture of this, but it's a funny story...I was changing Autumn's diaper in her bedroom and she wouldn't lay still enough for me to put on a new one. So I decided to let her air out for a couple of minutes. Well, she crawled down the first couple of stairs and was walking back and forth on the landing a couple of times when she squatted...and left a nice, small #2 on the floor! Then she stood up and crawled back up the stairs. I proceeded to place a diaper on her...
