Gone Fishin

Andrew, Dad, and Gran headed down to the river to try out the new fishing pole. Andrew was confident he was going to catch a tuna. Gran was also quite interested to see a tuna in the Pamlico. You never know... stranger things have happened.

Good thing Dad doesn't mind touching those slimy worms.

Where is my tuna? Maybe the fish are sleeping.

Christmas on the River

Another fabulous fun holiday on the Pamlico. We had a great visit with Gran and Papa Gus. Andrew and Cameron were best buddies, and enjoyed throwing snowballs into the river and chasing dogs. Most exciting was seeing a giant sea-doo in Gran's front yard. That will be super awesome this summer. We also got a telephone call from the Navy detailer, who informed us that we are moving to Norfolk/Virginia Beach! After the initial shock and surprise that we have to leave paradise, we got excited about living much closer to family and getting to party it up this summer on the river!

There is so much about this picture that cracks me up. I'm not sure what is funnier... Andrew about to whack the ball right into Cameron--- or the snowball Cameron is eating and the three dogs (not pictured) peeing in the background??

It's exhausting partying with Gran

Not Quite Ready for the Ice Capades

The herd of cousins hit the ice for an ice skating adventure. It was Andrew's first time on skates, and after a quick pep talk, we were on the ice. Ten seconds later, Andrew said, "let's go faster!" Not surprisingly, he was frustrated that he wasn't an Olympic skater two seconds after lacing up his skates. (I can't imagine where he gets that from?!?) It was lots of fun, and by the end of the session, he could skate about 10 feet by himself.

Is Santa Here Yet?

Andrew and Melissa kept a close watch just in case there was a reindeer sighting.
