The Fam


We went for a little day trip down to St. Andrews on the weekend and quite enjoyed ourselves. After going out for lunch, and listening to Nathaniel having his first public tantrum in a restaurant-we were so pleased, we went into one store where he had his first snit over a $5 toy. What a wonderful day of firsts!!!

We decided to walk up to Becky and Joey's house for a little visit and Nathaniel decided it was necessary to pick up every pebble and play with every spot of sand on the sidewalk. After we stopped indulging him, he decided that when he wanted to stop, he would just fall to his knees. After getting tired of dragging him along, we left him on the sidewalk and kept walking. We figured he would quickly scramble after his beloved mother and father. We walked a good 40 feet sans Nathaniel as he hollered out in a cheerful voice, "See ya! Bye Bye! Later!" and continued to lay on his belly on the sidewalk, waving. Guess that tactic was a failure.

After a quick visit with Becky and Joe, we headed to Holt's Point Beach where we were married almost 5 years ago. We hadn't been back since our wedding and I was a little shocked to see the massive salmon farming enclosures on the beach and part of the beach washed away (kind of symbolic of our marriage-hahaha!)...but once we were down on the beach by the water, it was nice. We hung out there for awhile and enjoyed the sun.

A very enjoyable day and two tired kiddies at the end of it.
