Justification for Random Photos
For those of you who don't know, I am a lazy mom and do not put together baby scrapbooks or even print out pictures to stick in a random photo album. I started this blog before Avery was born and it seems to be the only tool I have consistently used to document my son's (and now my daughter's!) childhood with. Sometimes it gets challenging to find a creative way to "narrate" this blog and I end up putting a bunch of random photos in a post. So bear with me...while these photos may seem random and boring to one person, they are important pictures I want my kids to see. :)
A couple of weekends ago, Phil and Avery made it down to Edisto Island again to see Ninny & Grandaddy before they left South Carolina. Avery enjoyed gathering and playing with more tacky beach house decorations, TV remote controls, and playing with Daddy in the sand. Poor boy was wiped out afterwards!
Avery finds all kinds of creative ways to play with his toys. Avery knows where to meet women.
"Teet teet, Tok" (Adult translation: Kiss kiss, Kayla).
Avery had to drag a chair over to his piano one day....he was getting tired of playing and standing, I guess. :)This is a self-inflicted time-out. I yelled at Avery for starting to climb on the stove and he started pouting and put himself in his "time-out corner".Avery is still a bit unsure of his Buzz-mobile and has yet to ride it for more than 5 feet. What a great toy he can grow into, though.Playing trains with Grandaddy.Ninny & Grandaddy each pushing precious cargo."Engineering is fun, Daddy!" Apparently, Kayla was getting a kick out of helping Phil try to fix my phone (that went through the washing machine). Talking to the birds. The bib says cutie pie. Enough said. :)

To A New Beach Season
Here's to a new beach season, complete with a fourth member of the Jean Team. I can not wait to put Kayla in little bikinis, baby flip flops, and sunhats (and lots of sunscreen, of course!). We kicked off Beach Season 2011 at Ninny & Grandaddy's rented beach house on Edisto Island. It was a little windy and the water was only in the 60's, but that didn't stop my water boy from having a blast.
Avery can entertain himself with anything. Including tacky beach house decorations. Grandaddy and Kayla enjoying some sunshine on the porch.

Avery can make friends anywhere.
Do you see the dolphin?
Thank You, Maw-Maw!
A special thanks to Grandma Sattelmeyer (Maw-Maw, as dubbed by Avery) for coming down to take care of the Jean Team for the past 6 weeks. Thanks for all of the house-cleaning, meal-cooking, laundry-washing, errand-running, baby-comforting, toddler-playing, dog-walking, and dessert-providing that you have done. Direct quote from Avery today after hanging up the phone with Grandma: "Buh-bye Maw Maw. Bye Maw. Iiiiiii YOU." (Toddler translation: Bye Grandma. I love YOU."
