Playground in Paradise

Why is it always funny when you crash at the bottom of a slide?
Wow, look at how fast this daredevil is going!

Don't you love that "throaty" baby laugh? :)


Corbin with a stick.... as usual. :)


Even a visit to the playground is more fun in paradise! :)




Beach Jan '09

Brrrrr! We hear it's cold in Atlanta! We do have a guestroom, ya know? :)

Baby at the Beach Jan '09

Phoebe is really starting to get excited when we head to the beach, now that she knows what it is all about!
Check out this glamour girl pose:)

She loves playing in the sand!



But the best part is playing in the ocean of course! :)


This is one happy baby! !




Christmas '08

We missed Santa at the mall but then discovered he was visiting a house just around the corner from us on "Christmas Street"
Christmas morning the kids were happy to find a play kitchen from Mop and Pop and Uncle Andy and Aunt Christy!

And just to complete it, chef aprons and hats. They make sure to wear these whenever we cook in the big kitchen too!


Corbin's favorite present was his "Hulk" hands- they growl and make smashing sounds :)



And the kids all got new Crocs from their Aunt Patricia- They love 'em!




Tabitha's 5th Birthday Dec '08

Tabby was so excited to get her green chair! Now everybody has one!
Big sister knows Little sister wants to "help" with the opening of gifts:)

Tabitha wanted to go to "BubbaGumps" to celebrate her Birthday. We were happy to join her! :)


Tabitha was actually excited to be 5 years old but a little tired of the picture taking!



Shave Ice

One of our favorite things to do when dad is off from work is to go to the north shore and have some shave ice at Matsumoto's. Tabby always gets "rainbow" but Corbin likes to get something different each time. :) Phoebe is happy sharing for now, but that will not last much longer!

Corbin's 3rd Birthday Nov '08

Corbin's so proud to be 3 years old!
Corbin makes very good use of his chair! He also got a 16 inch Ironman who tends to travel everywhere with us!

Corbin was so happy to get a chair just like the one Phoebe got (he had been using her pink chair quite alot!) So his comment was "But this one is Blue for a boy, and it has my name on it C-O-R-B-I-N!"


Halloween '08

Cinderella all ready to go, and showing off our house warming present from Miss Sue- We love our Monster AND a Witch!

Hey it's Peter Parker!
Tinkerbell! But this is really Phoebe Monster- she growls on cue:)


The Crew all ready to go! :) Happy Halloween!



Phoebe's 1st B-day Oct'08

Tabby showing Phoebe how to operate her computer!
Phoebe got everything a girl could want for her birthday, a comfortable chair, a laptop computer, a water bottle, some designer clothes (gymboree) and a new pair of shoes:)

Phoebe's Birthday was made more wonderful by a visit from my good friend Sue Speir. It was so nice to have someone from home to help us celebrate this special day!


Corbin and Tabby were thrilled to show Phoebe how to open her gifts!



All in all it was a happy 1st Birthday!
