Happy Birthday Merry

Happy 14th birthday dear Merry.

Beachy

Christmas break was really warm so we were able to fit in a beach day.

 The tide was super high so we had very little beach to play on.

Adam, Grace and Eliza collected a ton of rocks and built at fortress.

 Jacob and Merry slept for about an hour, then finally got up for some fun.

Maybe it had something to do with Adam yelling.

 A conference meeting to plan the trench around the fortress.

 Jacob showing off his skim board skills.

 Merry hasn't quite mastered the forward motion.

 So instead she built drip castles.

Vitamin D intake complete.

The boys

And the not so happy kids

Eliza is seven

 It is hard to believe that the baby is seven already.

 Eliza is mostly sweet with a splash of sass.

 She spends most of her life cartwheeling places.

 She has been loving gymnastics this year.

 She has loved school this year and has had such fun class and teacher.
