The Beach!

So life has been pretty crazy here, but I finally finished my online course (on how to teach an online course) and we're done traveling for at least 2 weeks. I'll make a couple of posts this weekend to help 'catch up'. We went to the beach for a week (May 14-21) with Nick. It was really wonderful! Megan was even able to come down for the first Saturday and acted as our official photographer. Keely loved the ocean and playing in the sand. She keeps asking for the beach and the ocean again. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story!

Keely rocked these glasses everytime we were at the beach. I love the "thug" look!

Her very first sight of the ocean!

First steps in the sand

This is one of my favorite pictures! What a priss!

In this picture she is running towards Megan yelling 'Meh-meh'!

Megan and I showing off our new shirts. These shirts are part of a pretty hilarious story from high school. 

Apparently I'd labeled a page in Megan's senior year-book "Heather's Page" and then I never signed it. Whoops? She only half filled out my yearbook.

Keely rocking out to some music on the TV.

There are a TON more pictures, so please visit our picture website (in the bar on the right) to see more. There are also 2 videos that will get posted on the shutterfly site SOON.

In other news, Keely's language skills continue to grow at a crazy pace. Wed after her first day in her summer class (mon and wed mornings) after we came home she told me "I put sticker on box". (They decorated treasure boxes.) While sentences and story telling isn't new, it IS new that she is putting together stories that we haven't coached her with. Like telling her that she was going to go on an airplane, and then she'd say "I go on airplane." And just a few minutes ago I sneezed and she said "bless you." I love it!
