Week 12 (October 8-14)

Jake and Caroline went to St. George Island on Monday to visit with Aunt Kate and Uncle Ed. Here is Jake's blog entry...

"Daddy gets to blog this time!

After we got back from Baton Rouge Caroline and I got up early Monday morning and headed to the beach. Unfortunately Kelley had to work so it was just the two of us Aunt Kate and Uncle Ed were renting a beach house on St George Island. We got there around 10:00 and visited with Kate and Ed for while since they had not seen her for a long time they were amazed how much she had grown and changed.

After a while changed Caroline into her bathing suit and headed to the beach. We spent some time playing in the sand and then mean old Uncle Ed buried her in the sand. She seemed to enjoy it and in fact she almost fell asleep while she was buried. We dug her out and put her in her carrier and let her catch a nap.

Once she woke up we went down to the water for the first time. We all took turns playing with her in the water and although she did not appear to love it she did not hate it either. Aunt Kate made a promise that anytime Caroline wants to go to the beach she will take her. We will hold her to that!!

After playing in the water it was time to go inside for a while. We got Caroline up to the house and she was covered, head to toe, in sand. We tried just wiping it off but in the end we just had to take the hose and just hose her down. We got her dried off and then fed her while Kate made lunch. While the adults were eating lunch Caroline took another nap.

Around 5 we went back down to the beach but just to sit around. We did not want to get to sandy this time. We stayed there for about an hour and a half and then it was time to start packing up and heading back to Tallahassee. We left around 7:15 and when we got to town it was time to go to Mommy’s volleyball game. We did not get home until after 10 and after she got a bath to remove the sand that the hose missed and Kelley feed her she went to sleep.

It was a long but it was a lot of fun! The only thing that would have made it better was if Mommy could have joined us. Thanks Kate and Ed for sharing you beach house for the day."
























Nana's b-day was October 8th. Cody, Debbie, Do, Travis, Allie, Jake Caroline and I went out to dinner to celebrate at Bonefish. We had some yummy fish and Jake had steak as his last meal before he got his wisdom teeth out the next day. Allie and Cody also have October birthday's so we sang to them as well.







We had some first time visitors this week as well. Brooke (Wood) Adkins and her mother Susan Weaver came over to visit us. They brought Caroline a really cute pumpkin outfit. We can't wait till they can come back and visit again.
