Auntie Natasha



I love the Fall around here! The weather finally gets warm, the tourist go home and friends come to visit. My best friend Natasha came to visit and the poor girl was launched into Mommy-hood the whole time she was here. Her and her hubby are thinking about heading down that baby path so I guess it's not the worst thing I could have subjected her to.
We started our day out by going out for THE BEST pancakes EVER at Seaside Cafe in Shell Beach. Yummy! With full tummies we went to toddler music and watching kids dance to totally hokey songs with a women who either really digs kids and music or has an espresso machine tapped into her viens ... quite possibly both. That was enough to send us back to the house for naps .... Natasha included.
It was great beach weather so we headed out for a walk on the beach with the kids. It was low tide and tons of tiny harmless jellyfish had washed up. Nolan and I had a great time poking at them.
Since I didn't have to have a hawk eye on a 2 year old I actually snapped a ton of pictures of Gabby. I got so many good ones but I really liked this one. She is such a bubbly happy girl it was neat to capture a picture of her looking thoughtful. She was really taking in the sand and sounds.
That night was probably our worst night EVER trying to put the kids to sleep. Neither one of them was going down without the fight of their lives. I explained to Natasha that it's not like this all the time. I hope we didn't single handedly halt their walk down the baby path!
