More Boys at the Beach!

Boys at the Beach...

Well, I am back in our Vermont home, while Amy and the boys still have a couple of days with family in N.C. I can't tell you how good it is to be back home, despite the near record heat wave we are having, and the tons and tons of work in front of me getting the house and the yard all back in shape. Vermont feels like home! Here's the boys at the beach...

on the road again...

Just a real quick note to post some pics.... we have been on the road since May 24th, having departed from our Bethel home. We spent a week in the Seattle area, visiting friends and playing tourist (see ferry pics). Now we are just finishing up a week at the N.C. beach with Amy's family... a week of sun and surf. The boys have loved playing in the ocean and watching the pelicans fly overhead. Tomorrow, Joe flies back to VT to begin getting things ready for the rest of the clan. All is well, the boys are doing great, and Amy and I are anxious to return to our home. More later....
