Well, we just returned from a nice long relaxing week at the beach and we sure did enjoy ourselves. It was Elliott's very first beach experience and I think he had a wonderful time. It was also the first time being at the beach with Merrin being old enough to REALLY enjoy the water. She had the best time playing in the tide pools, running up and down the beach and finding sea shells however she also had just as much fun playing with the water hose at the house. We took Merrin to the aquarium one day which I thought would be a big hit but I think she was only mildly entertained (live and learn...a toddler doesn't need an expensive trip to the aquarium...just a hose and some sand will do just fine).
Elliott was nice and relaxed just about the entire week and I am happy to report he is sleeping like a champ now...going to bed around 8 each night and only waking up once for a quick feed. I also have to add that Mr. Elliott is again, just the sweetest thing ever but I could gush for hours...
Keith and I had a great time reading our books and renting a movie just about every night. I'm embarrassed to say but I am a HUGE “Twilighter” now...I know you are laughing hysterically but I don't care, I am embracing the teenager within me! I told Keith I wanted all the books, the movie, the soundtrack...and a life size poster of Edward Cullen (which, by the way, Keith said he would divorce me if I was being serious...but I have to say that even Keith was a fan of the movie...he is going to kill me for reveling that) Haha! You know...like the life size poster of your favorite NKOTB that you all had growing up...my personal favorite was Donnie :) Anyway...we had a great time and only wish we had another week to indulge in fatty foods and lazy activities.
We weren't the only ones enjoying the beach...Keith's mom, my mom, sister, and nephew Ben all came down at different intervals. We started the week off appropriately by having all the women together at the beach for a quick shopping spree (all I bought was a cover for my Bible and a new blender to make smoothies for Merrin...I'm a big spender, huh?).
Here is a video clip of Ben and Elliott...

I'm a recently converted twilight fan too! I read all for books in 2 weeks, as I just couldn't put them down - but shh, don't tell anyone ;) If only ALL men could be like Edward lol.
Looks like you guys had a great time at the beach... I envy your warm weather!
I'm so jealous! We haven't been to the beach house since I was pregnant. :( It looks like you guys had a great time.
