Beach Babe

In June, we went to Florida with both sets of grandparents. Jonathan couldn't go because of school, but we took a lot of pictures and video for him. Lydia loves the sand and never seemed bothered by the heat, thanks to her cute hat. She takes after her mommy in her love for the beach. It's about time she gets something from me....as she is daddy's twin in looks and personality.

Jonathan's parents and Lydia and me standing in front of the Hobie Cat (like a sail boat)...aka Dad's toy.

Brett brought his BYU girlfriend on the family vacation to see if she could survive the crazy Carter Family. Well, she made it home safe and sound and hasn't let Brett go, yet.

Lydia is active and always moving, no TV and relaxing for her. She prefers eating rocks, playing ball, and playing the piano on her tip, tip toes (clink, clink). Of course, she must always have mommy in view. She already talks more than I ever did ... teenager years are going to be interesting, hopefully by then cellphone minutes will be cheap as dirt. She speaks a different language, sounds like a mix between German and Portuguese... who knows???? Jonathan sneaks in some Portuguese when he can. Of course, she just grins because daddy is her favorite playmate.
