Life's a Beach

 Life on the beach at Malibu

 Walking with Farmor

Big footprints

Feeding the pet seagull 

Hammie goes down, learning that even life on the beach can have it's rough spots

Cracking Up

I've got 10 days left until I see my girls again.  It feels like a long time and I can't wait until they arrive.  

Here is a photo I found on an old sd card.  Hammie obviously finds something Chris just said hysterical.

Missing My Girls

I'm several days into my annual winter escape to the States and I'm missing my girls terribly.  Fortunately there is Skype but it will certainly be a long month. 

 My girls rocking 'staches and showing their guns

I'm a little jealous that Hammie can grow a better mustache than me

Waffles

Waffles are pretty popular with our little family and we try to treat ourselves once every couple weeks.  Our last waffle feast was shared with friends and Hammie demonstrated how one should eat a waffle.

 Open mouth....

 insert waffle.

 Hammie likes her waffles with jam and whipped cream

Ingelin needed no help in waffle eating as she proudly displays her next morsel.  

Winter is Coming

The trees have shed all their leaves and we are enjoying some splendid fall weather.  Unfortunately we know winter is just around the corner, whether we like it or not.

Hammie carefully selects a single leaf from the thousands available.  

Hammie and Mira

A little over a week ago Hammie was reunited with one of her friends that we haven't seen for awhile.  Mira and Hammie had a fun-packed day of mushroom gathering, swinging, BBQ, and cats.  Good times. 

 Mira and Hammie take a ride on a cool swing

 You don't find as many mushrooms on the road but it's way easier for little legs to walk

A cool mushroom we found.  This one is not for eating

 Michael shows the girls how to BBQ

Good friends know how to share

Cats provide tons of enjoyment

A Couple Aunties
