Tatum & Lincoln
June 2008

Lincoln continues to be such a sweet little charmer, he really is a little flirt and all smiles.
He loves to eat. I hope this means that he won't be picky like his sister or his daddy.
He is trying to crawl but not quite there yet (which is fine with us).
He loves Riggins.
He loves to be outside.
He takes great naps.
He babbles incessantly and he has started testing his boundaries with Tatum and her toys. I love to see them together and he brings such joy to our family.

Vines Family Beach Week 2008

I cannot tell you how much I look forward to 'Beach Week'. With the family growing like it is, it is hard for everyone to coordinate schedules but somehow we manage at least one day to snap the annual grandkids picture. This year we also added the great-grandkid picture which was a feat in and of itself. Try getting 5 kids under the age of 3 to smile for a picture, we tried and that's all I can say.

I can't say that Ben loves the beach, but he does love the weather and he loves playing with Tatum. He loves to go deep sea fishing (which unfortunately was canceled this year) and just relaxing with the family.

I LOVE the beach. I would move there if I could. I love the sun. I love seeing Tatum so happy. I love the family dinners. I love the overcast mornings.

Tatum loved everything about the beach. She loved the sand, shells, birds, uncles and cousins willing to play with her, daddy getting her into the ocean and her 'beachhouse bed'.

Lincoln seemed indifferent about it. He at one point had a mouthful of sand and wasn't bothered at all. Most days he fell asleep in the beach tent.

Thank you once again Vines Family for another fabulous week!

This is just a few things we brought to the beach
