Back to normal life in Delaware:)

We were so thrilled to see that our house was ok after Hurricane Irene, that we unloaded and unpacked everything that same day!! We really wanted to get life back to normal again. No more natural disasters coming our way for awhile would be very nice indeed :) Life could not be put on hold forever, so Ryan went back to work and the kids and I were back to finding fun things to keep us all entertained in the mornings until Jane starts school.

There is a "Tot Skate" at the local skating rink and it is so much fun. We have gone several times. Jane is getting very brave and much better :)
Here she is doing the limbo...kid style.
Beckham couldn't skate, however there were many balls and a basketball hoop that he had alot of fun with.

such a champ...
Jane even got to yell "Ghostbusters..." into the microphone during that song. Beckham got to try too but was far more shy than Jane!!
Ryan got to work a four day week and have a long weekend for Labor Day!! We really made the most of that time. We went to Lewes Beach. It was such an adorable, mild, perfect little beach for kids.
Jane and Beckham LOVED it (they could have spent all day there) and Mama got to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather!!
Beckham was so brave and loved the water. Digging was Jane's favorite thing to do!!
Here are Mama and Beckham's sandy feet...too cute!!
A real old school "Pirate-ish" ship even sailed past us...it was so cool, however Beckham seemed uninterested...don't ya think?!
Jane, on the other hand, loved the cool pirate ship!!
We loved the beach so much that we decided to make a sand box on our back patio out of the lovely sand int he sand bags we had to use during Irene's visit!! It was messy...but fun!
In all the craziness, I forgot to mention that my little baby has grown up...he officially sleeps in a big boy bed!! He is SO not my baby anymore and that is very sad... but he is truly a very sweet, cuddly, boy!
Just today, Ryan and I decided to drive to Maryland to visit my bro and sis-in-law and their DARLING kids...and to go to the CAFE RIO that they just put in...hip hip hooray!! He have some of the BEST of Utah on the east coast now...yay!! Well, it totally delivered and was delicious!!!

Here's Ryan with Jane, Charlotte and Beckham heading into Cafe Rio...I thought this was so sweet...
We were pleasantly surprised when we saw that Cafe Rio was having a promotion this week, where Military members get a free meal!! We totally lucked out and had to pay only pennies for our meal :) The kids were well behaved and had so much fun together and got along sooooo well!!! This was the BEST night ever :)
Throughout the afternoon Edward taught Beckham how to toughen up a little and showed us all how to deliver a PERFECT tackle every time...haha!!
Jane and Charlotte were BEST FRIENDS the whole time. They dressed up as princesses, showed us all their dance moves and were so darling together :)
I am so glad we ended up making the just under two hour drive to Maryland...it was so worth it and soooo much fun!! It is something we will be doing alot more of in the future!! Life in Delaware is pretty darn good right now...we have been really blessed!!
