Labor Day Weekend - Back to the South Bay!!!!

Gina and Patrick took Jack back to their old stomping grounds. It was SO hard to be there and not call it home again. The friends, weather, beauty, beach and familiarity was wonderful. Jack loved meeting his parents' friends!

Jack's first visit to Hermosa Beach

We pitched a tent with all of the gear - going to the beach was MUCH different this year. Nicole holding Charlie, Carrie holding Siena and Jessica (Stacy's sister) holding her newborn, Ryan

Tim, Patrick, Jimmie and Erik swimming

Concert in the park - Manhattan Beach

J wore his newsboy hat in honor of his Uncle Jim!


Charlie Mae and her dad snuggling

Jack was so happy to meet Harmony!

The HAPPIEST baby, Malyn Grace Arnold at Concert in the Park

Gina and Mattie Sue playing

The music lulled Jack to sleep

Boo and Mattie Sue spending quality time together

Again . . . Magical Mattie Sue

precious

J's first time facing outward in his baby carrier - he seems to like it!


Stacy and Malyn

Woods and Arnolds

And then . . . THE meeting!
From oldest to youngest - Mattie Sue, Malyn, Ryan (Jessica's boy), Charlie, Siena, Jack

The newbies! (Jack COMMUNICATED to us that he was not a fan of the family picture!)

Malyn Grace and Charlie Mae - Uh Oh

Precious Siena Marie leaning (we'll go with snuggling) Jack - again Jack communicating LOUDLY that he is not happy! (Good thing this blog picture does not have sound!) Siena came just 3 days before Jack but was due an entire month after him! She is dainty and beautiful - he was soooo happy to meet her (he was just having a low moment here!)
