Happy Father's Day!

From the long lost Nystrom's
We had a really nice trip to Southern Shores. Charlie loves, loves, loves the beach, the water, playing in the sand, counting pelicans and searching for crabs. He started off asking Jon to get his feet wet and hold his hand. By the 2nd week, he was boogie boarding and loving the waves. He also really liked the pool and remembered his skills from last summer after a few days. Knock on wood, but we are 3 weeks into potty training with no accidents in 2? This is so exciting, because it means Charlie will get to go to the pool at school every day during the summer.

Charlie also thoroughly enjoyed his cousins Thor & Gavin. They fought off "monsters", dug holes and just had a blast whatever they were doing.

Matt & Will are apparently beach bums too - we were fortunate to have our nanny, Amy, come down for a few days (Sat, Sun & Mon) to help watch the babies and give us more time on the beach. But by the end of the week, Matt & Will were napping on the beach and seemed to enjoy the scenery.
Luckily, they are feeling better from the cold they started the trip with - but it goes from 1 thing to another. Matt's 1st tooth came in on Wed., June 17th and Will seems to be working on his! The big kids had fun too... Jon skim boarded, flew kites and we had a few adult only nights out too!

I am now at RIC waiting for my flight. Jon will be meeting me Tuesday in San Diego. Matt & Will are staying with the Wood Grandparents and Charlie is staying at the Kolkhorst Grandparents.

Meanwhile, Jon is celebrating Father's Day with the 3 boys and Greta. Hopefully, they will treat him well today :o)
