  • Fort de Soto pictures #6

    My Mother had a good time gathering shells and walking along the beach: At one end of the beach was a flock of birds. My Mother couldn’t help but say hello to the birds:

  • Fort de Soto pictures #5

    We arrived at Fort de Soto beach fairly early on a Wednesday to find the beach empty. We literally were the only people on the beach for about an hour before anyone else showed up:

  • cousin Itt at Fort de Soto

    Even though the weather was quite nice while we were at Fort de Soto, the light wind and bright light was too distracting for Toren when it came time to eat.  So, Debi improvised (the towel) and I accessorized (the hat): I couldn’t help but think of Cousin Itt, from the Addams Family: I was…

  • swimsuit edition

    Thursday night my family had a pool party at my brother Danny’s house in Ogden.  We have a swimsuit for Toren, even though he’s too young to swim at this point.  But it was cute enough that we figured we should get some photos of him in it.  Here’s one with all three of us…

  • Toren meets Grandma and Grandpa Cragun

    It took until he was two months old, but Toren finally got to meet his Grandma and Grandpa Cragun:
