"Sum-mer-time and the livin' is easy"

So, we finally make it home and despite all of our adjusting we did manage to make time for some fun this summer. After many hours of practice and several different games we have discovered that Jack is none-other than a little card hustler. I know those of you who have kids that are in the 4-5 age range are aware of their constant need to win games by whatever means necessary and that you understand when I say my son has now become a little card hustler. Oh you don't believe me, do you? Just take a look at the picture below and take a glance at his eyes, this is his true Poker, or "go fish" face if you will.

We also made sure to get ourselves to our favorite place, the Wall Street Beach in Milford. We find ourselves there time and time again no matter what time of year. Each time we go we make a new batch of memories, from Jack collecting seashells, to Daddy and Jack skipping rocks during a time in which I can literally see time slow down and recognize the preciousness of every minute of it, to Benjamin getting his first glance at the ocean.

And of course we all spent time bonding with Benjamin and letting him know that he will always be loved, protected and cared for by all of us, his family.
