because the beach is meant for getting wet

wow! has it really been two weeks since i posted last? i guess so. it's been a busy two weeks. i had family in town for a few days, including my uncle whom i haven't seen in around twenty years. that was pretty amazing. then, michael was in toronto on a business trip and my laptop was giving me fits. and well, all of my recent pictures are on my laptop. and yes, i have them backed up, but i'm too lazy to edit them on my desktop anymore. blabber. blabber. blabber.

anyhoo...one of the things that is great about living in south carolina is being within driving distance of the beach. i love the beach. and so do my kids. it's pretty much a guarantee that addie will get wet if we visit the beach. even if we go to take pictures, she WILL get wet. so, i generally don't put anything on her that i mind getting in the ocean. oh, there are those rare occassions that i do put something on her, and then i tell her under no circumstances is that pettiskirt to get even a drop on it. but i digress.

with ian, it's a toss-up. i'm really hoping this year will be different. but the status quo last year was this: if ian was wearing swimming trunks, he would NOT get wet. if you approached the water, he would scream. however, if ian was wearing regular clothing, he would get wet. very, very wet. so far this year, it seems last year's status quo is holding.



i'll let you know what happens when we go back and ian wears swimming trunks.
