| I finished Kate's Halloween overalls, and they turned out SO cute!!! The overalls are hand me downs, I had most of the fabric, and the halloween fabric was 75% off. So I paid like $1 for these!!!! As you can see from the backside picture, I am thinking she will be able to wear them next year.  She LOVES THEM!!! She also loves wearing and showing off her new black patent mary janes! (Stride Rite... ebay.. $7!!!) She's such a girly girl!

A cold front came through Thursday, so it was a little chilly on Friday. Grandpa had this contraption rigged to get shells from in the water. He would dump them on the sand and then Eddie would comb through them getting a ton of cool shells. Eddie was really interested in the different types of shells. He learned a lot from Grandpa. I assured them both that we didn't need that many shells (since we still have bags from past years...) but we ended up bringing home 3 trash bags worth of shells. What in the WORLD am I going to do with that many shells?!  
Eddie got this fishing pole last year, but due to the weather he didn't get to try it out until this year. We had practiced in our front yard... casting over to the neighbors yard and reeling it in. He ended up catching FOUR fish! Now.. they were all small catfish... but FOUR fish!!! 
This was the sunrise this morning when we left. It was REALLY cool seeing the steam coming off the water. The air temp was in the lower 50's. We had an AWESOME visit and arrived home safely. We enjoyed catching up with Grandpa and Grandma, fishing, shelling, swimming, shopping, and much more! Kate even perfected her walking taking over 30 steps at one time! She's really taking off! | | |
| The plan was that is was supposed to rain all day today. But it's the beach... it was GORGEOUS!!! We went down to the beach this morning. Then Grandma watched Kate (take a nap) while we headed to Foley. We found a REALLY cool minature train museum. We did a bit of shopping and ended our excusion at Lambert's.   
What a beach baby! At one point kate tried eating shells. Of course she was most upset when i took them from her! This minature train was donated to Foley from some man in Montgomery. In all it is worth $300,000. It is AWESOME! they even turned the lights out to show the night view. Signs and trains were all lit up. The museum opened about 3 years ago, and we highly recommend it. The best part is it's FREE!!!   There was a "Caboose Club" which decontructed it in Montgomery and then reconstructed it in Foley. The man in the bottom left was part of that group. He talked about how it took them a couple of days to deconstruct but took almost 14 months to put it back together!   Thomas was even there!!!
We always take our Christmas Pictures at the beach. The weather may turn colder tomorrow, so we wanted to get them in today. Kate was awake, happy, and ready to go! She is doing SO good at walking! Tonight she took over 30 steps!!! YEAH KATIE BUG!!! 
a close 2nd for the Christmas pictures...
 ... and the winner is....!!!

| Here are pictures from day 3 and 4.  Grandpa and Eddie were making projects with Perler beads. Eddie made a monster and Grandpa made a heart. 
Kate enjoyed eating sand!! She only started crying when I told her sternly to stop!  
We have our own Katie in the Box! She climbed in the ottoman/ storage and played Jack in the Box.   Ta Da! How did I do?!
I was pretty impressed. This picture was taken from our condo with my zoom lens!! Grandma and Eddie are searching for shells. 
 Eddie got this cool game for his birthday. It's called Topple. Lots of fun!! Today we went to watch the Blue Angels fly. Due to the chance of rain they did not fly, so we went to the museum instead. 
Eyes on the sky Eddie, eyes on the sky!   
Look! I'm bigger than something!!! I'm bigger than the wheel!!!!  Good night!
