Sunset Beach '07

We just got back from our annual Sunset beach vacation with my family. We had an amazing time. Our kids were so good and easy. What a wonderful stage we are at. It has been a great summer! We are adding another child at the end of the summer and we hope three doesn't put us over the edge. I have loooved two so much, but am also very excited to meet this little baby girl too.

We went to Disneyland one day and Rex was just tall enough to go on all the big roller coasters. He looved it. Lucy and I, and my mom, who kindly came along to help out, and brought Tenley, my cute little niece went on all the kiddie rides and more importantly the princess extravaganza. It was quite the scene. At one point we heard a mom telling a Disneyland employee that her daughter had been in her Cinderella costume for 3 days straight and she needed to find Cinderella now!! At that moment I decided I needed to be pretty low key about this princess thing with Lucy. I could see her going full force if I let her. She still can't stop telling people , "that Snow White did hold my hand."

The beach was a blast. Both Rex and Lucy were super brave in the waves, and couldn't get enough of it. It was so fun to watch them. The first night we got there Ryan took them both out to just put their feet in before bed, and Rex basically just dove right in, got totally soaked without a care in the world. He is my brave, independent little boy.
