The girls were terrific travellers. Abria slept very little but was easily amused by her sister and grandmom.
Alette worked hard to make birthday sand cakes. yummy!
Every August Andy's family goes to 'the beach' aka Corolla, NC and every year we miss out. So, even though Andy still couldn't go, I hauled the kids and all their stuff down for a week of waves, water, sand, family, and lots and lots of fun! Alette bravely jumped waves (even went under once when I fell), collected seashells, poked at jellyfish, swam in the pool, and generally had a great time. Abria loved having all the adults around to tend to her every need/desire. Everyone took turns 'walking' her around the house...now that she figured out how to walk holding on to someone's hands, crawling is way too boring.
