The Cat

Okay, so I know you are all tired of seeing beach pictures, but I just got a CD from Will with more pictures on it and I had forgotten all about the CAT - on the BEACH!!! Now, I'm not much of a cat person, I like them fine, I'm just more of a dog person, anyways, I wouldn't think that cats would like the sand, but boy did this one! And Emma Claire being the animal lover that she is, couldn't resist. We were told that this cat had scratched and bitten a child the day before, so I told her no touching, only look and don't get too close to his face. Well, from far off and with my zoom on I catch this...

(Sorry for the "bottom" shot, but this shows you how fearless EC is when it comes to animals - she would've had her face underneath that chair if I hadn't been watching!)

She and her cousin are both "caught" -- Emma Claire thought she was hidden behind the chair!!!

and she knows it - it's still hard to see, but she's looking right at me, knowing she's about to hear about it - no more kitty for them!!!

Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's off to work we go!

Wilson got sunscreen in his eyes on the last day and cried and cried and cried - I felt REALLY bad, maybe I went a little too far trying to protect him - I cleaned them with a warm washcloth as best I could, but only time would take the tears away!

Camera

Thanks for the comments on the pictures, as for the camera it is Olympus brand - I have had it for 4 years now - it was my first digital camera - it has been very trustworthy over the last few years, though I would like a new one b/c it is rather bulky and pretty slow. I'm really not a great photographer, I just take alot of pictures and get lucky with only a few.

I thought this was a funny picture - it was snapped by my father-in-law as we were trying to get everyone ready for the family picture!

I could just eat his little face off!

On a cloudy morning, Will took Emma Claire to the Alvins Island where they have alligators and sharks - she loved it!

We have a busy week coming up leading up to Halloween and Homecoming. The children will get to dress up in the Halloween costumes 4 times before Halloween even gets here - CRAZY!!! It's busier than Christmas - but all fun and games (literally). I hope to have some great posts coming! For now I'm working in the mornings and helping my in-laws paint their new house in the afternoons and evenings when I'm free (aka when Wilson is napping or someone else is keeping him - 2 year olds and paint sure don't mix!)
