VA Beach
The kids really took to the ocean this year. There was no hesitation – they jumped right into the waves.
Parker had his ducky floaty and Skylar would swim and bob up and down until she got tired, and then hang off of daddy.
We spent 3 days at Va Beach, and then we spent a couple days at the ‘local’ beaches: ocean view beach, and Buckroe beach. Neither of the local beaches had waves like va beach, but it was interesting to see the locals and the non-touristy parts of Norfolk.
Two restaurants that we went to were memoriable: Hair of the dog – great drinks, and “The Barking Dog” – a hole in the wall with awesome Carolina BBQ, $2 craft beer served in a coozie, nacho fries, and awesome hot dogs with all kinds of toppings – right at a Marina.

Skylar 1st T-Ball Game
Skylar had her first t-ball game and she not only fielded a hit and threw it to first but she also batted and scored! What’s most amazing is that her team only had one practice before her first game…

Miracle on Safa Ct – Christmas
Mommy’s big gift this year was a movie by Skylar and Parker. We followed the ups and downs of the two young children as they try to find the right gift for their mom. Will they succeed, or will the Grinch steal Christmas… In the end, love triumphs all.
Rated GC – for Gratuitous Cuteness.

Skylar- 1st day of Kindergarten
Skylar had her first day of Kindergarten. It was kind of like going to college for mommy. I’m just glad the waterworks didn’t start flying. (Skylar handled it much better than Susan).
She’s so independent, when Susan offered to follow her to school and help her to get class, Skylar gave an emphatic “NO!”.
Her teacher sent us a followup email confirming that her first day was great!
