A day at the beach

Well, this is a quick post, but just wanted to put up the pictures and video. we had a lovely day at the beach last weekend, Gabriel had fun trying to skim board and we discovered that Gwen has a love of the ocean! :) enjoy!

our dear little Gwennie girl has yet to really walk, though she has been known to stand on her own without aid of hands for furniture, and even took her first steps just a few days ago! (though she has yet to do so again)
She doesn't crawl either though.
we call her the knee walker...

last weekend we went to the beach. We didn't feel like being around too many people so we went down to the military strand where the seals train.
(forgive my hair it was rather humid and windy!)

Gabriel found a live sand dollar
this was actually just the first of many, we found more still living than we did dead.

We also found several of these tiny orange sea anemones, the picture doesn't do the color justice, they were bright orange , like hunting safety gear!
anyway, they were well camouflaged to the kelp cause my God is cool like that.

Gabriel also found several small shells and rocks while we explored.

And Gwen was quite into the sand dollars...she even tried to eat one! :)

baby apron

Well yesterday I was in a sewing mood but since it's been awhile since i've really made anything I decided a little project would be best.

And so, you get a baby sized apron! :)
It was fun to figure out how I was going to piece it all together with the ruffles and straps etc...I put snaps on the straps so i can adjust them easily. in fact even though it fits perfect i have to redo the snaps already because it rides up her belly and then the straps fall down...
Can't wait till she starts walking! Now I just have to find a pattern and make her a white dress to go with it!

Lego Land!

This weekend we went to Lego Land.....

Gwen was NOT into having her picture taken...

But Gabriel was a little more friendly....until he tried to steel the guys hat...

which was glued to his head.

We found ourselves in a tiny D.C.

Gabriel was fascinated!

He especially liked the trucks and cars driving around.

We also saw Las Vegas,And New York City!

I think one of Gabriel's favorites though was seeing Thomas,

and Bob the Builder!

OH, and riding the train of course too!
