September 2014 Beach Trip

We arrived at St. Augustine to visit with Uncle Jack and Aunt Wilma at their beach house.  It's technically in Ponte Vedra.  Alex decided this was the week he would learn to sit up from a laying position on his own.  He got really good at it by the end of the week.

Uncle Jack and Aunt Wilma took us to Barnacle Bill's for our standard seafood dinner.  Evan ate almost his entire child's chicken dinner, which consisted of 3 chicken strips and plate of French fries.

 And since we were all getting sick by that time, we took a trip to the local Walgreens to their health clinic.  Everyone got the cold and three had pink eye.  Evan liked a toy sword that Vince found for him to play with in the store.

 Evan enjoyed the water hose on the porch.

 Publix had nice shopping carts that Evan loved driving.

It rained every day and there was black tar on the sand that stuck like glue to our feet, so we didn't get to spend any time on the beach this time.

 

September 2014 Epcot Trip

Vince and I had been wanting to try out the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot after hearing about it last year.  Each country has many samplings of food for $3 - $8 to eat.  Although both boys had a cold and pink eye, we braved the trip to Epcot. 

We arrived in time to have our photo made with Pluto, right before it started raining.

Later in the day, we stumbled upon Pooh and Tigger in a back room behind the London gift shop (there were no signs or indications of this, Vince happened to see them through a window - to our great luck!)

 Evan loved them both.  There was no line since it wasn't advertised, so Evan got to visit with them for a while, making them each play patty cake multiple times.

 We ate from several countries.  Evan shared a gyro with me, and this duck, that snatched the bread right out of Evan's hand when he held it down.  It didn't phase Evan at all as he just stared at the duck when it waddled away.

 Evan also enjoyed a Belgium waffle.  We enjoyed steak, fried cheese, cream brulee, shrimp rolls, egg rolls, escargot (okay those last few were eaten by Vince, not me).  I think we ate some Chinese food for dinner, but since it was pouring down rain, I was tired of being at the park and ready to go.

 Evan was the only one of us that had a blast playing in the rain water on his stroller tray. He enjoyed every minute of the splashing and was soaked by the time we made it to the car.

Hopefully we will make it back again soon when it's not raining!

 

September 2014 Jacksonville/Spring Hill

We arrived in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday evening at Aunt Wilma & Uncle Jack's 1970s house.  Evan loved playing on the furniture while Alex checked out the shag carpet.

 We made it to Spring Hill, Florida by Sunday afternoon. Granny Barbara and Jerry accompanied us on our trip and were a great help in entertaining the boys.

 Aunt Susie had a stuffed pig laying around that Evan took a liking to.  He placed it in the car seat, swing, and more. Lucky for him, Aunt Susie let him keep it.

 They are excellent little travelers! They sleep a lot and for the most part just go with the flow.

 Aunt Susie loved on both of them.  The boys enjoyed her reading to them.

Coca Cola and Football

I found Alex & Evan's names on Diet Coke bottles.  I looked on regular Coke and Coke Zero bottles first, but settled on the ones I found.  I'm debating on whether we should save them or drink them. 

 While I debate that issue, we got ready for Georgia's first game of the season! Go Dawgs!

 

Feet, Teeth and School

Both of my boys have their daddy's feet. 

 Vince

 Alex

Evan

 

Lately, Alex likes to hold a lot of his toys or his bottle with his feet.

Meanwhile, Evan is teething and has 5 new teeth coming in, on top of the two back bottom molars that have been coming in for the last couple of months.  He is chewing on everything and not a happy camper lately.  The face below happens often these days, but luckily, it doesn't last long.

Evan's cheerful and playful attitude always bounces back quickly.

He started his 2K class with his new teacher, Ms. Paula, and her helper, Ms. Amy.  He loves school and doesn't seem to get into too much trouble.  Here's to a fun new school year!
