We breached the beach

Deanna finally talked me into making the 35 minute trip to the beach, and we had a blast. I think Deanna's back caught red tide because it is florescent red. I am really looking forward to the next several days of her whining. Christian was able to maintain his pasty skin because we dunked him in SPF 50 every half hour. He had a great time but hated the sand. We will definitely be making more trips over if anyone is interested in joining us. Everything else is going very well. I've finally snapped out of my dark depression over Steve Irwin's untimely passage into the next world and the fact that I am one year closer to the big 30. We hope everyone is doing well and will keep posting pics.

Christian's first experience with the ocean. He loved it, although he has yet to watch Jaws

 

He finally took off the shades after people kept mistaking him for Bono

 

 

After giving him water, the Great Arm sketched a verse on the wall 

Life is so terrible here in Florida

 

The closest thing to pets Christian will ever get.

 

A hat best befitting his personality

 

Aliyah

 

Mikey

 

The eyes were a dead give-away that young Einstein was actually a Porricelli

 

Max and JoJo

 

"Oh, if I can only touch the hem of JoJo's garment!" 

We actually had to tear him away from these manly beasts.

 

"I will pull the thorn from your paw if you grant me a favor in return" 

This is what Deanna pictures every time we have a family picture

 

One more step and I'll shoot! 

Screwtape was very kind during our trip to the seventh circle
