Okay, so we've been a little absent lately on the blogging scene. Last Saturday we arrived home from our ten day vacation to NJ. We had such a great time but unfortunately Vin started teething or something of the sort torwards the end of the trip. He has been getting up every two hours at night and hardly napping at all during the day. By the end of the week we were all ready for another vacation. Fortunately, Vin slepted for 9 hours Friday and Saturday night and we're hoping for the same tonight. AND we are moving into our new place 8/5 and so far I have just one box packed. The good news there is that we have until 8/31 to be out of our current place so there is no real hurry...

Here are some pictures from our vacation...
Oh yeah, and Vin started rolling from his belly to his back during the trip

Mom flew in from FL for Jenn's baby shower. We had a lovely Mother/Daughter lunch on Friday






This is in Aunt Deb's pool and was also Vin's first time in a pool. He did not like it at first.


Warming up to the idea a bit. Maybe it took him awhile to get used to the glare coming off of his Dad's chest

BEACH TIME!!!
We spent Monday - Saturday down in Wildwood, NJ.


Great Grandmom Allchin and Vin watching the waves. This was Vin's actual first time on the beach but he was asleep the entire time.


Trying on Dad's hat



This is when we first arrived on the beach. He just sat and watched the waves in awe and then watched us scramble to set up all of his beach crap.
Vin looking down at the ocean water



Dipping his toes in. We didn't get a good picture here but he screamed. I guess the water was a little cold.





I just love this shirt

YAYAYAYAY!!!! I was so excited to click on your blog today seeing all these awesome pictures of what looks like a truly amazing time! Vin is just looking more and more like a little boy- and the best dressed one I must add.

I love the pics of him during "nap time" what a personality! I also love the one of him in his dad's hat- sooo cute. Oh oh, and that adorable t-shirt- LOL! You guys are the best- thanks for taking so many great photos and for taking the time to share them with all of us!!!

I think it's safe to say all the other pictures "pale" in comparison to the Dad / Vin pool shot.
Wow.

True, i'm a bit pale in the pictures. However, it is important to note that many years ago, pale skin was a status symbol.

I am TOTALLY showing these to my surfer man Lee to remind him to take him we haven't been "down the shore" once this summer yet!!!
Vin and you all look so happy there. I can't wait to smell the salty air, dodge the waves, and those beach-tag checkers. (Ha!)

Thanks for those adorable pics!
