A note to our blog fans

The Costales' never have a dull moment. We are busy from sun up to sun down and all the hours in between which is why we rarely find the time to blog:( I know some of you check the blog regularly and we feel flattered so to you blog fans, you know who you are, we are sorry. Once we get settled into our new HOUSE we will try very hard to get caught up. Stay tuned!

Gabriel decides that HE wants to sit in the Bumbo even though we have it out for Liam.

Chet wearing Liam in the "Moby" wrap. This picture was too precious not to blog.

The Costales Family at the beach.
Liam is staying out of the sun and staying warm in a sun hat and towel.

Our Carolina boy.

Just another day at the beach with my boys:)

This is how Liam enjoyed the beach-from the comfort of the Bjorn;)

Daddy trying to let Gabriel enjoy the water without letting him run in completely.

These crazy "sea birds" were swooping down and almost attacking us! I thought it would be a good idea for Gabriel and I to feed them bread. No, it was NOT a good idea. It went from 2 birds to 20 birds in seconds and they were ALL hungry!

I didn't know what to do and I was actually really scared so I dropped the bread, held Gabriel tightly and ran for the beach/water. I tried screaming and shooing them away but it only made the them more interested? After that Gabriel was terrified of the "sea birds":( He would see them coming and hear them squawking and come over to me to be picked up. Sorry Boo Boo I didn't meant to scare you. I should have used better judgment. Hopefully you will forget about it before we go back to the beach;)

Liam was still too young for much beach activity. We wanted to keep him warm and cute so we dressed him in this giraffe suit (Chet picked it out...ha ha!!).

I honestly have no idea what Gabriel is doing here. Digging? He's such a funny little guy. He thought the beach was a blast! I think his favorite activity was collecting sticks, rocks, and shells. He would bring them to me and I couldn't stand the idea of giving them back to the beach. I know taking stuff from nature is wrong but I am so sentimental and I couldn't help myself;)

North Carolina, Outerbanks, Kill Devil Hills

Gabriel loved the beach and went straight for the water. It was sunny but chilly. There was no way we were going to let him swim on such a cold day. Not to mention the waves were rolling in pretty good. He cried when we pulled him out of the water. We had to chase after him and block him from the water. It was tiring for us and frustrating for him. He managed to get away from us once and got knocked down by a wave. He ate sand, got cold, and cried. He didn't try to run in after that. In fact, we had to coax him into the water the following 2 days when it was hot.
