The Shore is Over

It's Monday. Labor Day. I was up before everyone so I went and read the blog from a year ago today. Aden was still so little. I commented that I couldn't wait for next Summer because of how much fun we would have with Aden on the beach. While we did have fun, I think next year will be the year. Then we will be chasing him around and bringing the baby pool. It's rainy today. We will probably just pack up and head home early.

Saturday morning, Eric, Trish and Lucas stopped by to see my grandmother, so we went over also. Lucas, Aden's second cousin, is about 6 months old.

Bubbie was in her glory having two great grandsons around.

For a change, we stayed on the Ventnor beach. My family was there. Plus, Amy's parents wanted to check out the pool at the condo.

Aden enjoys any beach!

It's much quieter here than either Coolidge or Adams where we usually go.



Aden doesn't want his foods cut up small anymore, he wants the whole thing!

A little walking on the beach.

He wanted more something, probably ice cream.

Ok, enough of the beach, let's go to the pool.

There was an impromptu happy hour at the pool. People brought food and drink to share.

Nice view.

We felt bad eating the food as we did not contribute, but that didn't last long, it was too good to hold out! I tried a little of everything!

Bubbie got more quality time.

Grandpop was showing Aden the view.

Hopefully, they will do this again next year.

Post-beach bath.

Clean baby!

Melissa went out to Japanese with her friends. Amy and I went for Japanese with our friends at a different place.

Hibachi!

Adam and Ellen through the smoke.

We had a fun night with Adam and Ellen, Rose and Randy and Bev and of course Rylee and Reese who are asleep behind us in the picture. They were really good. Aden is way past the age where we can have him sit in the stroller while we eat.

Reese woke up! Too cute.

Of course we ended up at the Dairy Bar. We ran into Alan and Ina on the way so they joined us. I couldn't decide what to get. I think I made a poor choice. I needed some chocolate. The girls finally had to go to bed and everybody left, so Amy and I decided to call it a night.

Breezy Point?

I don't have time to discuss this now, but we are kind of lost about what to do about Aden's school. This was Thursday afternoon as Aden was saying goodbye to Ohev Shalom and all the great teachers and especially his buddy Cameryn.

We then went to Breezy Point for orientation. There are a lot of things about this place that are starting to scare us. I will get into more details later. So, as far as now, Aden will be starting here Tuesday. We will see how long he lasts!

The Family

Some outtakes from our photo shoot. These are just a taste of the literally thousands of pictures that were taken and they have not been edited yet. We can't wait to see the rest!

Wake Up!

Testing Us

Free Standing

It's Wednesday morning. Amy's kids start today. Sucks for them. Where did Summer go?

Aden is doing a lot of free standing and even taking a few steps once he's up!

Until he falls!

Aden helped us put together Amy's book shelf.

Which we couldn't finish as the bolts were wrong.

I have some cute videos to post later.

It seemed to be ok in Florida, so I switched my car seat around.

He loves to be able to look out the windows.

Arriving at Ohev for his second to last day there. More on that later.
