Labor Day 2011

I'm a little behind on blogging, so here is what we did for Labor Day this year. We were able to go to the beach with Yancey family. On Sunday, my parents were able to come day for the day. James still hates the beach/ocean, but loves to be on the porch. He is going to be a porch monkey like the rest of us. Yancey has a small sailboat that he loves taking out, when he has time. It is normally a huge deal to move it to the ocean (over the dunes). For Christmas, my parents gave him a dolly type piece of equipment made to help move small sailboats easily. Yancey took his cousin Rob out for a ride one day and his mom the next. On Sunday afternoon, our friends Mike and Bridget brought their son Ben down to the cottage for a bit. I can't believe how big the boys are. It was that afternoon that we heard one of James' new words, MINE. Ben wanted one of his toys. James didn't like this and so took it back, adding in "MINE". We were excited to hear a new word, but shocked that he knew this. Bridget reminded us that there are good and bad things about daycare! It was a great weekend at the beach with family and friends!
