The beach, park, and playing

Henri and Lili both started a new school year on Monday. Henri is now in the big-boy classroom, where he sits at the table, and starts working on using a spoon to eat. In celebration of the new year, we had one last hurrah at the beach. Here are a few shots from the day...it was raining in Orlando...but beautiful out on the coast.

I think this shot could be an ad for a travel guide:

Here is sweet Lili...she almost fell asleep as we stood in the water...almost:

After playing in the sun all day, both kids were exhausted...and crashed in their stroller as we walked back to our car. Covered in sand and salt water...a great day:

Miss Lili is becoming a professional cereal eater. Here she is, laughing while she eats...it's a little disgusting, but still so cute all at the same time:

Henri has decided that he is big enough to stand/climb on anything and everything he finds. Here he is trying to surf on his car...unfortunately, I caught him in the act:

Last week...Jeff worked late...so we spent extra play-date time with our friends Ron and Nikki and Baby S. Here is Henri at the park...enjoying the swing:

He loves to play...here is his smile up close and personal:

He was trying to "get" me as he would swing back and forth:

Sometimes....I don't think Henri is that much bigger than Lili...and then I see this photo...wow:

While Henri played...Lili decided to catch a few zzz's:

Ron, Nikki, and Baby S. played on the slides:

More sleeping Lili:

We spent one night at the park...and one night at Ron and Nikki's house. Henri was in toy heaven...here he is helping Ron play the piano:

He loves to play music...maybe he will be the musical one of our family:

Yikes...Henri the tornado strikes again:

Here she is...sweet Lili. She is moving like crazy...really starting to crawl. We went grocery shopping, and she found her toes:

Lili and me...look at Lili's pretty hair...so sweet:

And her brother...he loves to play:

Hope you have a great week...more pictures soon!
