Alex and her "Baby Du"

Well, we all had a great time, but I think Drew had the best vacation of us all! He loved the sand and loved his cousins even more! I think cousins must be one of the best things that God has created. Alex, age 3, and Owen, 20 months, and Drew, 13 months, had a GREAT time together and I know Drew is missing them already! Alex absolutely adored Drew and Owen taught Drew some new tricks! Owen is such a daredevil, it was great for Drew to see some of his stunts. Drew warmed up to his grandparents and even let them hold him, which I know made their day (and mine). Russ and I also had a great vacation, even though Russ lost his wedding ring in the water on Day #1. We found him a nice silver ring for $16 at a local shop and it is doing pretty well for now! Although it was not as quiet as some of our weeks in Corolla have been, it was full of laughter (and some tears).
