Tiny Helper

Gwen gets a kick out of unsorting my laundry and unfolding piles of stacked t-shirts and towels. But she's the best laundry helper I've ever had, sorry Sunshine.

Mom Visit

My mom came for a visit last week, giving me and Ryan some much needed freedom to do whatever we wanted...which turned out to be staying at home almost all of those nights, reading and going to bed early, haha. She took Gwenifred to the pier park, on walks in town, to the beach to chase her ball while getting blasted in a sandstorm, and various other adventures. Also on her vacation, she got to cook me dinner and do most of the grocery shopping. She claims to have had a wonderful time, maybe her trip to see my sister after her baby in July will be more relaxing.
Before we left to take her to the airport I realized that I hadn't taken any pictures so we sat on the porch for a photo shoot in which Gwen could not sit still. So, here are the results - these photos may not be blog-worthy, but they're all I ended up with.

Memorial Weekend

We went back to the river for the long weekend.






(I think that Gwen's not afraid of anyone because she's spent so much time with scary Uncle Gentry.)

P-Dine fo Rizzle

In May, the McDonalds stopped by our place. Shellie and I took the babes to the beach while the boys surfed. I only have pics of their bath, but they really liked the beach too.

Avery took over to get the sand off of Gwen.

Then that evening there was Pepperdine reunion, of sorts.
