I thought it was so sweet - Eric had a tree at his house growing up and he had talked about in the past how it would be a nice idea for the boys to each have a tree to "grow with". SO...below are the pictures of each boy with their new tree!

new trees @ 261
This month we purchased (with a birthday contribution from Oma and Papa) three new trees for our yard. Two Cleveland Select Pear trees for the back and 1 purple plum for the front.

OBX Beach Vacation 2010
In August we took a road trip to Corolla, NC with our cousins Jane, Doug, Jeff and Oma! We drove to Herndon, VA this first night and then finished the drive on Saturday morning. We checked into "Heaven on Seven" and were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations we could call "home" for the week. We had picture perfect weather as we waited for Hurricane Earl to determine his “path” up the east coast. Every day we went to the beach and sat by the pool wondering how it could be so beautiful, with no clouds in the sky, as a hurricane was headed near. We made the most of our week but decided to pack our bags Wednesday night as they raised the alert from a category 3 to category still not sure of where “Earl” was going to land. Thursday morning we left at 4am and received a call at 10am that there was a mandatory evacuation!!! We were thankful to have had the head start as traffic would have been awful. So, long story short, it was great while it lasted!!! We will do it again…..but maybe NOT during hurricane season!!!
Notes from the trip:
Zach and Jake swam alone in the pool (wearing the frog and the duck)
Lucas did not enjoy the beach and would not go near the ocean
Zach enjoyed jumping in as long as the water didn't go above his head
Jake had little fear
Lucas LOVED the kiddie pool where he could stand. He would "dive" in and get his face wet and splash all around
Bike rides were fun - we rented a trailer for the little guys
Dinners out were good but had a difficult time finding places
Jake slept on the top bunk all week with no problems
Jake was Doug's sidekick
Granzy did NOT fall in the hot tub
Below are some group shots and an album – enjoy!

Eye on the Pie (Lucas)
A "food fight" broke out in the basement between Zachary, Lucas, Jacob and our neighbor and Lucas ended up getting hit with a wooden piece of pizza! Below are the results.... We took him to the eye doctor to make sure everything was okay....and luckily it is just a bad shiner!! (just in time for the first week of school!)
Pre School 2010
This year all three boys will be going to the same preschool. Zach will go to the "4-day 4's" Tuesday - Friday and Jake and Luke will be 2-day 3's on Tuesday and Thursday. The great thing about the arranagement is that drop off and pick up will be at the same time/ same place!! (selfish Mom!)
Below is a picture of the boys on the stoop before "visiting day". On visiting day we all got to go to school together and meet all of the new friends, check out the classrooms, and see the teachers.
The first official day without Mom was the test! I had thought that we would have no problems....J&L have Ms. Joan, who was Z's teacher last year, and the room, etc. was all very familiar to them. The boys and I brought Zach to his room first.....no problem - Zach barely said goodbye (sniff sniff). Jake and Luke led the way to their room...but as we approached the room Jake's grip kept getting tighter and tighter!! Before I knew it - Lucas was in the room playing and Jake was in my arms crying.....yikes! Ms. Joan quickly peeled him off and scooted me out the door....and two minutes later I peaked in the window to see Jake playing in the sand.
Below is a picture from the first week....Jake & Luke were more interested in showing off their backpacks!
Below is a picture of Zach's class and also of Zach and his friend Dylan. Dylan and Zach were in the same class last year.
