Myrtle Beach 1

Right after we got back from New York (after a trip to Montgomery, Alabama), we took a vacation to Myrtle Beach--North Myrtle Beach, Paul would want me to clarify. The other Crockers joined us later, but the first day, we had our own little time at the beach.

Timothy was just beginning to say some words, and he kept repeating "Bee. Bee!" for beach as we got ready to leave. He continued saying, "Bee!" as we got in the golf cart and drove to the "beach part of the beach." (Paul informed us that the whole vacation was at the beach, and that "most people" use the expression "beach part of the beach" to refer to the actual water and sand. That was good to know. We had somehow missed the way most people refer to that location.)

We got settled in a spot on the sand. Timothy was a little weirded out, but he kept tentatively saying, "Bee? Bee?" Then we took him to the water. It was cold. He got his little feet wet and didn't seem thrilled over how this bee thing was turning out. Then a larger wave came and actually got his tummy wet. His happy little "Bee! Bee!"s turned into a wail. "Beeeeeeee!" So he and I went back to our spot on the sand while Paul and Daddy played near the water. I asked Timothy, "Where's Paul?" He happily pointed their direction by the ocean and announced. "Bee."
















As we sat there on the beach (part of the beach), the tide came (is it out or in?) closer to us. This created a calm little pool for Timothy to play in. So he got in his water time after all.

Remember How I Used to Have a Blog?

So, I used to put pictures on this website so I could have and share some documentation of our lives, particularly the kids' lives. Then I kind of let things slide. Then more and more events took place, and I missed putting their pictures here. Then I realized the other day, "You know, there's about to be another kid around here. I'm not going to get any aheader if I don't just catch up. Everyone's going to wish there were baby pictures up, and I'm going to feel silly putting up baby pictures when it looks like the last thing we did was have a baby. So, there's been over a year's worth of events since Baby 2. And here are some highlights.

Tia Teen visited in Mexico.


Twins, 19 years apart.


We traveled to California for Aunt Laura's wedding.

and developed a love for brushing his teeth.


Paul and Daddy went to Waffle House one day. (Isn't this a cute picture?)


Timothy wanted to go too.


Another cute picture.


And they made a boat out of a box.


The plan is to give major events after this their own posts. But this one documents June 2010 through like July 2011. Kay? Hope you enjoyed them!

Having a Brother

These pictures are all from June, 2010. Paul is still learning to be gentle with the baby, but he seems like he likes having a little brother, doesn't he?

First Day Home

Paul's long-awaited baby brother finally showed up, and . . . he can't play with anything. But that doesn't stop Paul from sharing various toys with him.
