Yesterday (10/16) was in the 80s so we decided to go to the beach - just a little patch of sand near Lake Norman. It was Andrew's first beach trip and I didn't have my camera so I didn't capture him running sand through his fingers for the first time. I hope he (and you) will forgive me!!! We did have lots of fun!! Today is in the 60s and rainy.

Andrew is wearing pumpkin pjs. Wow - he is wearing 12 month clothes - growing like a weed!!!

Funny one of his favorite toys is the toy camera...must be in the genes!!

Andrew likes to check under the rugs to make sure the house is REALLY clean.

Bryan giving Michael some golf tips.

Day out with Thomas (the train). Rainy day and Michael didn't want to get on the train. Still a fun family day out.

Andrew dressed ready to watch the closing of Yankee staduim.

I will confess we did not watch the closing of Shea stadium - too painful.

Next season will be better!!!

Andrew cute as a pumpkin!!

Andrew didn't touch anything.

Touch a truck fundraiser - Michael liked the race car!! The helicopter was loud.

Andrew's first time on a swing. He was not loving it. Michael is getting good at keeping his balance on the big swing. I admit I am heavier than Michael.

Lots of static after sliding down the slide.

Andrew woud rather be running around the playground

Broke out all Halloween stuff from Michael for

Andrew

At the pumpkin patch. Too warm for Andrew's costume. We will go back again on a cooler day.

Here we are out for a walk - first time with the new

stroller that worked GREAT when Michael didn't want to walk any more.

While Michael and Grandma were outside playing Michael asked Grandma to take his picture. Michael knows the rules of the family!!!

Grandma showed Michael the correct way to clean the windows. Grandma also taught Michael his address.

While Mom was here Michael and I got to play in the water - Andrew was lifeguard on duty.

We took some pictures. Michael was the ham and Andrew had no smiles.
