ED'S VISIT PART II

Dear Sisters, 

I can't believe it is already September!  Hurricane Gustav has already arrived and fortunately all we are getting in this part of the gulf region are spurts of heavy rains.  

I REALLY need to get used to tropical storms and hurricane warnings, as the season runs until mid October.  I was a bit worried when tropical storm Fay was making it's way to our area last weekend because the news was flashing flood warnings on TV.  Thank goodness all Fay did was make big waves for the surfers @ the beach that day the guys went fishing @ the Pensacola Beach Pier.

This is the pier the guys went fishing @ last Sunday.

The boy caught his very first fish!

Hey, you know if they were fishing @ Wollaston Beach, they would've caught a tampon instead ;0)

I think Ed was a lil sad that I got there too late w/ the camera to take a pic of the 22" fish he caught (which he had to set free cuz it was too small).

Ray was happy to be there :0)

That day they went fishing, Fay was making the waves really big and there were signs posted to stay out of the gulf.  Here's a pic of the beach on a good day.......

Here's a pic of how ruff the water was last Sunday.

A beautiful day on Pensacola Beach (Casino Beach) ........

Ruff waves that would've carried the kids off to sea........

There's a beach right across the street that faces inland called Quietwater Beach. That beach has zero waves and is great for the lil ones to swim in. I could've brought the kiddos over there that day, but it's not gorgeous like Casino Beach, which faces the gulf. It's okay though.... instead of swimming in the beautiful gulf, we went seashell hunting ;0)  Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.

Miss you lots,

Joy :0)

You're gross..

"... would have caught a tampon instead.."

geez... that did make me laugh though.

yea so i didn'tso anything this weekend... just more shopping... i bought those sweaters i showed you from forever 21. i got BOTH, the cream AND the olive.. =0)

ohh, and we painted my bedroom ceiling, and the coatroom... but the paint we are using is peeling off... i guess the paint you used was oil based and the one we are using is water based. I wanted to do the dining room, but we're going to have to prime the walls to prevent the paint from peeling off...

how are the kids enjoying school?? the make any friends yet? i asked little ganilo the other day,

"where's archie??" he said, "he go bye bye."

"what about marisol and francisca?" he said, "go bye bye"

I THINK he still remembers them... MISS YOUUUUU!!!!
