St Thomas

We just returned from our week at St. Thomas and St. John. trip was great so was the weather, hotel, and taxis. Food at hotel, only thing to whine about. We went out instead.
This is a picture of an investment for a vacation home on St. John. Its a "fixer-upper." Don't worry kids we only used part of your inheritance and beside you can use it too! Pictures on snapfish. (It has a kitchen, see the pictures).

Brotherly love...

Chase is really enjoying his younger brother. Last week we had a little photo shoot, which is not always easy with Chase anymore. But when he got to hold Zach, suddenly he was willing to sit still. I know the excitement and gentleness will eventually turn to irritation and rough-housing, but for now we're enjoying what we've got!

This is the fishing report for Broad Creek, Absecon, 7/16/06. Christopher--zip, Dad--17 1/2 "flounder, 13" flounder, 1 ray, 1 sand shark, MOM--1 sand shark, 23" flounder! That made it a good day. Christopher was so bored, we worried he may jump over just for some excitement.

Dad and I leave this Sat. for St. Thomas until 7/29.

These Colors Don't Run!

A Star-Spangled Spengler! We had a great time at the 4th of July parade here in Chelmsford... Chase's first parade. He loved watching all the police cars, fire trucks, and floats... he didn't even flinch when the revolutionary war re-inactors fired their rifles (or at the police firing their shotguns)! We even brought along our Canadian friends (the girls in the background holding flags)!

In other news... Zachary is doing well. He's taking 5 hour stretches between meals at night, giving Karen up to 4 hours of consecutive sleep! Hard to believe she's excited about that. During the day Zach is still eating every 2-3 hours though. He's really doing very well. Chase continues to love giving "baby hugs", bringing him toys, and even helping "burp baby". Chase is doing great at being very gentle. It's great to see how much Chase really does enjoy Zach! Hopefully it'll continue!
