Wet suits are required

Good morning!

The 4 Webbs are wrapping up our last day of this extended journey today. Our plans are to spend one final day here and then drive through the night back to our home in AZ. The time here with Robin and Gordon has gone by way too fast and we could easily enjoy another week because of their hospitality, spaceous home, and great surrounding close to the beach. Yesterday as an added bonus Gordon took me for a ride around town in his Corvette. I've never had 400 horsepower between me and the pavement... It was exhilirating to say the least! If I own one of these beasts I'll have to put marshmellows between my feet and the gass pedal otherwise I could get into a lot of trouble.

Even with my help and Robin and Gordon around with arms wide open, there are still occasions where Kendra has to hold both babies at once. Seeing all three of their happy faces made me want to take a picture and it turned out to be a good one that shows how their expressions are becoming more and more meaningful.





By the way, I found out last night that a setting on my camera was changed from auto to some manual thing about a month ago. Apparently some stranger who took a picture of Kendra and her parents decided to force a setting on my camera and it was never reset properly. We'll see if that really changes the quality of my photos or not, but it can't hurt!

Layla's smiles that are big enough to show her two bottom teeth are too fast to capture on film. Her smiles are like shooting stars in a meteor shower; Extremely bright and exciting, but so fast that you have to really have to quick to catch it. She has two bottom teeth and Easton has no teeth. Every few days when he has a little bit of fusiness, Kendra says he's teething, but I treat it like the boy who cried wolf now because it's been two months and still no teeth. I know having teeth early or late doesn't prove anything one way or another so we're not worried about it.

We have the 6 month pediatrician appointment set for two weeks from now. It's really late considering they will be 7 months old by then, but because we were out of town it made sense to push it out until after we return.

Anyway, yesterday Robin graceously agreed to watch the twins while Kendra and I played at the beach! We had a blast bodyboarding and laying in the sand. The weather was cold and cloudy, but we didn't care. The locals were in sweaters and scarfs! We rented the boogie boards and wet suits and spent a couple of hours catching good sized waves.

We were worn out physically and I felt great after having some cardi activity for a change. My work out schedule has been less than stellar over the past few weeks with all of the traveling so doing something active was just what the doctor ordered. Kendra and I did a lot of laughing and playing out there in waves so making time for "alone time" was very worthwhile.

Oddly enough, when we returned back to Robin and Gordon's we found out that both our babies were sitting up on their own! It's crazy! We've been waiting for them to sit up on their own and become strong enough for that. We leave for two hours and viola! they sit up while we are away...

Robin was kind enough to take a picture for us and I knew they truly hit the milestone when Easton and Layla were able to duplicate the feat-of-strength after we returned.

You'll notice Easton is wearing socks that are 10 times too big... That's a result of runnin low on clean clothes as we finish out the last leg of our travels. We are all enjoying the cold and fog immensely, but that means we have to bundle up their little tootsies constantly. The 4 Webbs have plenty of sun and heat waiting for us back in AZ, so we really are loving the coolness.

Last night we all celebrated Gordon's birthday over excellent home grilled steaks. Kendra's other aunt and uncle, Cindy and Terry, spent the evening with us. They live about 15 minutes away and get together with Robin and Gordon often. One of our hopes for visiting here was to see Cindy and Terry so the evening worked out well.


Well, it's time to repack the Pilot and hopefully we won't have pillows and suitcases squirting out the window. The next blog will be from my old, comfy office and since i have the next few days off for vacation I'm sure there will be time to blog!

bye bye for now.
