Hard Day at the Beach

It took me a while to get them to this point. I walked the shoreline for 20 minutes just to get one to fall asleep. They love to watch the kids on the boogie boards, and all the people walking by. We had another fun day at Grand Haven beach. The weather was beautiful and the girls did much better with the water and sand.

Snow beauties

Photos by Katie

Keira & Alyssa are now walking. Alyssa started at 9months 1 day and Keira started last week Thursday (10 1/2 months) YIPPEE!!! LEt the fun begin.

We did have other family photos, but this is one of my favorites.

Some personality coming out

This is one of Keira's newest faces. She smiles huge and then crinkles her nose and lets out a little motor laugh.

Alyssa comes off as innocent and then when you get to know her shes all giggles. For those of you that don't know already Alyssa is walking!!! She started about a week and half ago, so she was 91/2 months when she started. Keira is not far behind, she will walk around furniture and certain toys. Right now she is the master crawler.

Pictures tell it all....

Keira at the beach

Keira needed a little more coaxing than her sister. But with a few of her favortie songs she was enjoying what the beach had to offer.

Grand Haven Beach

We met Grandma Geerlings and her friend Kathy at Grand Haven Beach. This was Alyssa's first time to the beach; it took her a little bit to warm up to the sun and the sand. We went for a walk in the sand and even sat by the water's edge. Some people sitting close by also let the girls play with their sand pails and rakes.
