Chess Men

At least four nights a week I peak into Nate's music room and see this. About a month ago Nate started teaching Asher to play chess. He loves it. I'm sure a big part of it is that he gets to stay up a little later than Piper and have some special time with Daddy. He does actually like playing the game too. 

 He has a really good grasp on the game now. It'll be fun to see if he continues to play as he gets older.

Hilton Head Beach

Did I mention that we loved Hilton Head? Well we did. The beach was perfect for us. The water was as warm as a bath and the waves were gentle. All the kids loved going in the ocean and splashing around. The beach itself was very flat, so late in the day there were always tide pools. This was ideal for Piper and Dexter. 

 I loved having so much family time. There weren't too many people around and we really got to relax.

 I am so in love with my family.

 Nate and Asher love digging in the sand and building castles. I didn't get any pictures, but they made quite an impressive drip castle.

They all keep asking when we can go back.
