Family Pics and, oh yeah, Weight Watchers isn't going so well so you won't see any pictures of me for a while

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I'm not sure how to put a link in here, nor am I sure of how to refer to previous posts when I mention them in a new one. I still have to work on those two things, but I'm pretty sure I can post some pictures of the kiddos that I blog about. So, here they are:

It's not the best picture, but I actually couldn't figure out how to upload a picture to my blog (at least not easily), so I am going to bed and will try to figure out all (adding a link, referring to previous posts and pictures) when I am not so tired!

On another note~Weight Watchers is not going so well. It's not that the program doesn't work, it's that I am not applying myself and keep making excuses for why I'm not following the program. One result of my inability to lose weight is that I allow VERY FEW pictures to be taken of me. I do have a few, but not many since the twins were born. I'm off to start again tomorrow and am hoping for stronger will power!

Another Great Family Vacation!

We did it again! We had another great family vacation this summer! We spent this week at the beach (at my parents cottage in Humarock~so it was free too~how can it get much better). We had PERFECT weather!

It was such a relaxing vacation. We hung at the beach during the day, went out to eat a couple of nights, walked to the store for ice cream one night and walked to the donut shop one morning. The kids just loved it all~as simple as it was.

The ocean was kicked up a bit the first couple of days be cause of Danielle, but surprisingly calmed by mid week and later even though Hurricane Earl was following close behind. The kids still went in the water with the undertow and high waves. One of us just was sure to be in the water with them and hold the little ones. One day the waves were calm and the water warm (surprising for this part of the Atlantic Ocean)and the hubby and I were in the water all day with the kids. At one point, Patrick, Sean and Caroline were in with us while the twins sat on the beach and played. It was just perfect! The beach is wide open and, with very few exceptions, only neighbors around. That means very few other people around at all. We could see the twins from the water and had neighbors looking on them as well as us in the water. It's just such a great place. As with our trip to Storyland, it was so much easier this year with the twins!

We haven't stayed at the cottage for a week in such a long time and I am so glad we did~and the kids most definitely are too. Looking forward to it again next year!
