Glad to Be Home

We had a great time, at the beach, but I am happy to be home. We were gone 9 days.

The cats wreaked havoc on our house:
1. Alley broke another ceiling tile, in the basement. Which is interesting, since we were not aware that she had found a way to jump into the ceiling, from inside the house. hmmm. She seems to be some kind of supercat.
2. They ate more than was even possible for 3 cats. Our friend who stopped by the house a few times, called us a little bit worried that the bowls of food were empty each time he went by.
3. Someone threw up all over our bedroom. They usually do this when we leave them for very long periods of time. I think Dugan makes himself sick from eating so much. His diet is restricted, when we are at home.
4. The downstairs bathroom looked like one giant litterbox. They had tracked litter everywhere.

Jack had a very hard time readjusting to the "real world". He was a lot whinier than we have ever seen him. I think he was just exhausted. He pretty much had his way the entire week and was not too accepting of the word, "no", when we arrived home. "No, you cannot have chocolate milk." "No, you cannot have a piece of cake, when you wouldn't eat your lunch." "No, you cannot watch Bear in the Big Blue House. It is time for bed." "No, you cannot play with the IPOD."

Playing in the Ocean

This picture makes me laugh because his face is covered in sand.

He actually kind of enjoyed this.

Playing catch. This is how Jason taught him to catch a ball.

I think he looks so grown up in this picture. (Except for sucking his fingers. haha) His legs look so long and lean, like his daddy's.

I don't know when the finger habit will end. I can't remember when my mom said David stopped sucking his two fingers.

The best part about the Lee's beach house is that the neighborhood owns the beach, so there are no condos on it. Usually, it is peacefully quiet, but it still gets packed on holidays.

This is only the second time Jack has had a caffeinated beverage. (Except for sips of tea)

I took about 15 pictures of him in the sea oats, but this was about the only good one. He was not interested.
