Last week, before our guests came, the boys and I headed to the beach with some friends while R.C. tried to catch up a bit in his studio. This was a beach that we had never been to, but our friends knew the kids would have a good time and they did. It was a beach with a park also so the kids could splash around in the water a bit and then go play on the playground until they got hot and then go splash some more. What more could you ask for?

I keep writing and writing and writing and deleting and deleting and deleting. There is so much to tell and I don't want to keep you all day so here it is in quick form:

• Shane came to visit on Thrusday
• Took Shane to the beach
• Our wonderful little car hit 100,000 miles!!
  
• We all played in the huge waves and got ice cream
• R.C. and Shane went to the Paw Sox game
• Melissa spent the night painting the apartment upstairs
  
• Chris came on Saturday
• Melissa and Chris spent the day out at the outlet mall
• Chris, Melissa and boys went to the beach
• R.C. and Melissa finished painting the upstairs apartment
  
• R.C. helped the new tenant move in
• Rainy day spent mostly at home
• Weather cleared up so we could enjoy a seafood supper on the water
• Russell lost a tooth!

It has been such a great week having both Shane and Chris come to visit!! Thanks guys for such a fun couple of days!

Get ready folks...
Good grief!! This boy is growing up way too fast! This is his 3rd tooth lost and thankfully I can already see his "big boy tooth" coming in so he won't be toothless for too long!
