Home again, home again...

Sadly-our vacation time is over! We made it home safely despite the gloomy skies and the intermittent rain showers.
We had a wonderful week enjoying the beach and the ocean and now it's time to get back to the 'grind'.
As if to add insult to injury, the whole lot of us came down with head colds (runny noses, sneezing, coughing, etc.). The girls fared better than the adults. While their noses ran like drippy faucets, their spirits did not seem to be dampened. Ah, youth!
Now, it's back to work. Argh!!!

Greetings from Long Beach Island, NJ

Hi everyone!

We are in full swing of our annual vacation at Harvey's Cedars on Long Beach Island, NJ. The weather, albeit cool and windy, has been fantastic so far and according to the local weather station, it appears the remainder of the week will only get better.

The girls are having a wonderful time at the beach. Jillian loves playing in the sand (she's not too crazy about the ocean) and Olivia is crazy about the ocean and eating the sand. Go figure. Luckily, the family below us has four kids and they all play together on the beach. We are so fortunate to have nice neighbors below us.

Kathryn has been wonderful with the girls and is truely a fantastic "Georgie"!

Here are some pictures from our vacation, enjoy!
