To Grandmother's house they go...
As you can see, Oz and AJ were giddy today. I had just woken Nate up, so he's groggy and pissed.
Austin, goofing around in the car. The boys just couldn't contain themselves.
Checking luggage in..
Gma and Papa saying goodbye for now to Nathan.
Daddy saying goodbye. Nathan was quite upset.
We hope you guys have a great time. We already miss the boys. Post pix often!

The Cruise
We went to Nassau, which is attached to Paradise Island by bridge... Paradise Island is where the hotel/casino 'Atlantis' is. We took a taxi over and strolled around. They have a massive fish tank- very nice and big enough that you can pay to snorkel in. These are yellow tail snapper, which tastes awesome- in case you were wondering.
They had this huge manta ray... no joke, it was like 10 feet wide.
More yellow tail. I took this pic for the boys bc the statue in the background reminded me of the Lego Indiana Jones video game Thuggee statues.
This is the Royal Caribbean Private Island. It's totally right next to the Norwegian Cruise line private island.. you'll see why this is funny in a minute.
The big cruise ship on the left is ours. The little on on the right is the one my parents and 2 brothers, their wives, and 2 of my nieces were on that same day. Odd coincidence that we're cruising the same route on 2 different ships at the same time. We met up with my parents and brothers in Nassau for about an hour. Too bad Royal Caribbean and Norwegian didn't share a private island or we could have hung out on Sunday, too!

Dropped the ball
SORRY! Gma and Papa came and I was out of town for a few days... THEN there was some computer issue and I couldn't get pix out of my camera for some reason.
Anyways, now it's fixed and here's the update.
Austin lost another tooth! (the bottom tooth, on his left)
And, for Nate, it DOES take two to make it out of sight! (Mike is prob the only one to understand this horrible joke)

Grandma's Coming! (and Little Rock in August)
The boys are very excited to see The Grandparents Fenn.. They get here late tonight. I guess it's time to pick up all the dirty undies from the floor??
Also, the (hopefully) final Little Rock trip has been scheduled for August 2-4th. Food challenge of 5000mg (same as last, but this time with a 30 day window with no regular 2000mg daily dosing) is scheduled for Aug 3rd. Dave and I will be going with Austin this time. Grandma Fenn has very generously offered to stay with AJ and Nate. THANK YOU!
If anyone wants to see a short write-up on the study (from March 16, 2009):

Movie Day
So all summer long, on Tuesdays, Wed, and Thurs at 10am, we can go watch a free movie at the mall. Today was Curious George. Having school aged children makes summer feel like it used to when I was a kid... and I'm LOVING it!
This is AJ
This is Oz.

Ozzy's Birthday Part Deux
Here are the Chuck E pix as promised. Look how passionately the kid plays! It was hard getting pictures of the boys- especially Oz- bc he kept running off with Ben. He's really growing up...
We opted for cupcakes at home.
Nate dug right in...
AJ took one bite of his cupcake then went for the grapes.

Happy 7th Birthday Ozzy!
Pix from Cake and Chuck E Cheese to follow later.
This set is for 8-14 year olds. AJ built 85% of it himself with little help from me.
Nate is especially happy with the treat bags! Can you see the big smile under his nukkie?
Austin goofing around under all the wrapping paper.
Working hard.
Trying to be inconspicuous with the Goldfish.
The much-talked-about Crystal Sweeper. He's almost done.. in deep concentration.

Dave's Work Thing
Dave had a work thing at a hotel near the beach. I brought swim gear and let them get in the pool. These are phone pictures, so the resolution isn't very good. Sorry!
The reason this first pic is interesting is bc Nate is up to his NECK in water and not holding onto anything. I'm not sure if you've ever done this, but it feels and is very unstable if you don't know how to swim. He kept doing this and saying, "I DID IT!" and dipping his head back so his hair would get wet.
Anyways, Grandma was saying she wasn't sure if Nate was ready to learn to swim fully... YES, HE IS.
