Our Summer Beach Trip!

We just got back from the beach a few days and we a wonderful time. We were gone for over three weeks and came back tan and tired. Spencer had a great time. We played on the beach and in the pool almost every day. Spencer's favorite activity was eating sand. We tried to stop him but it was no use. The first week we were done there my mom and Gary came and stayed with us. Spencer decided that week that he was going to get his first ear infection, so we ended up having to take him to the doctor and he did not sleep good at all that week. My mom loved showing him off at the beach and strolling him around in his new wagon. We had several people to ask us if he was the Gerber Baby!! We also had some professional pictures taken of the family one day. They turned out great and we started a new tradition. That weekend my dad and his girlfriend, Paula came up for a few days and Spencer got to play with them some at the beach. The next week it was just me, Josh, Spencer and Piper(our family time). We were so lazy and relaxed the whole time but Spencer was still not sleeping through the night. He would wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning and proceed to scream bloody murder. Josh and I got so frustrated. We couldn't figure out what was wrong with our little man. We had a good time other than that. We were glad when Rick and Elizabeth finally got to come down. Spencer was so glad to see them. We did the usual activities: Hamburger Joes, Myabis' and shopping at Tanger. Elizabeth loved rocking him in the glider and could get him to sleep so fast and Rick loved to take him for strolls. The boys played golf quite a few times, while the girl's and Spencer took naps and read. Finally, we had our girl's weekend,plus one little guy. It was so much fun to get to see Reagan, Jennifer and Shirely. She is growing up so fast and Spencer and her had a great time. It was a wonderful vacation but we were ready to get home, especially since Spencer didn't sleep through the night once the whole three weeks we were down there. Josh and I expected our first night back at hom to be awful but guess what!! He has slept through the night ever night since we have been back home. I guess he just wanted his bed!! Enjoy the pictures! More to come later!
