Bend It Like Stella!

Nicholas just finished soccer camp this past week and he is well on his way to being the next Beckham or Pele!

Nicholas had a great time learning some soccer fundamentals and getting ready for fall rec soccer to start in a few short weeks. We had a nice time having picnics and sitting on the sidelines watching Nicholas run around and enjoy his playing time!

Getting Ready...cleats, shin guard, socks...we're set!

I love that he's sitting on the ball!

On the Beach- Day 1

Vacation 2009

We headed down the shore this past week with Grandma and Pop-pop and it was WONDERFUL!! We spent the week in Chadwick Beach, in the same house we've been staying in, and hopefully will continue to stay in. It's just steps from the beach and within walking distance of just about everything we could want or need!

Our days were spent on the sand of the ocean, with a few mornings spent on the bay for Nicholas' swimming lessons and some fishing with daddy, pop-pop and Addie. Our evenings were spent either out to dinner as a family, or with friends or just at the house playing games, flying kites on the beach or at the boardwalk!

It was a wonderful week with great weather and lots of fun! Nicholas and Addison had a wonderful time and so did we! We are so grateful to grandma and Pop-pop for this week and the time we all get to spend together! We took a TON of pictures and over the next few days I'll highlight some of my favorites, plus we had a friend who is a photographer take some family shots that we'll post in the next few weeks. In the meantime, here is a slideshow of most of the pictures from the week!

Enjoy!
