I need to learn to edit better

Penelope gives William's sunglasses a whirl


Bonding with Isabel

One of a number of apparent attempts to roll over back-to-front

Sitting up like a big boy (give or take)

Isabel, glasses thief

Showing off her presents from the Hatleys

Just where Penelope likes to be

Not as enthused

Granddaddy, hat thief
Got his hat back!

The 4th of July and a Sick Isabel

Caught removing the tissues one by one

The salt air caused some problems with the camera on the deck



The hazards of trying to make William smile while I'm still in the frame: he
ends up looking pleasant, while I look like something's wrong with my brain.



Looking a bit like his great-grandfather in his beach paraphernalia 

Skeptical baby

Happy baby!

Poor sick Isabel

A period of calm for Rose

Fireworks from the deck


Woohoo, America!

4 months old and sitting in his Bumbo seat





Reflecting on his advancing age


Deciding the best strategy would be to eat it

Babies in Cahoots

Trying to figure out how to arrange a jailbreak


Shared nap time

What seems to be the problem, officer?

Getting a lesson from Gam about animals together

More shared nap time

The first morning, bright and early

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed

Isabel's still zonked

Misleading picture in that Penelope is not STILL zonked but rather is zonked AGAIN

Ditto for the grownups

Signs of stirring already

Rosie has found her way out to the television

And then, awakened by TV sounds, Penelope peers out from the big bedroom

Rosie jumps in to make sure she comes all the way out

And Penelope happily complies

The Party Bus to NC

The view to Gam's left 
The view to Gam's right

Gam's view straight ahead, AKA the only place she could put her feet

William's second restaurant experience -- pit stop at Panera

Penelope's a pro at this by now

The view to Gam's left during well-fed baby sleep time

And to her right



Flipped over 18-wheeler from the tornado we just missed on 95

Trees down, etc., from the storm

Less enthused by the trip at this point (and less fully clothed) during a barbecue pit stop in Kinston
 
Penelope is delighted to be out of her car seat, with no intention of returning

The look on his face suggests he knows he's going back in his car seat,
but I don't think he really knew what he was in for

Made it to the beach and sleeping soundly!

Not sleeping soundly.
