Back from the Beach

We had a nice time in Gulf Shores with Peter's family. Betsy really enjoyed the swimming pool; the Gulf was a bit too scary for her. And it turned out to be too scary for us because there were tons of jellyfish. B ate lots of new things--pineapple, mango, lima beans & rice cooked by Momma Lady, and smoked gouda.

We got back yesterday evening. We stopped by Aunt Attie and Uncle Beau's on our way in and Attie gave B the most precious dress and jacket----that she can wear when she's 4. My sister really thinks ahead! Today was rainy so we just hung out at home. Attie, Beau, Papa Vic, Bee, Marme, and Aunt Penny came over to visit and we went to visit Katie. Papa Vic brought over two beautiful rocking chairs that he had made for us; B is going to love rocking on the front porch. I made cupcakes for our new neighbors and to bring to Bee's. We went to Bee's this evening and the boys ate various types of meats and Bee made lots of yummy treats for us all. We also got to visit with Katy F. and chat about her upcoming wedding--so exciting! B ate her first and second cupcake today. The first one was without icing and was all her idea--she grabbed it and stuck her hand in it. She ate the second one tonight at Bee's and it had lots of icing. We got home not too long ago and I'm exhausted.

New tricks include: waving and saying what sounds like "bye bye," giving kisses, and pulling up on anything and everything.
