Romantic Savannah...

I think our friends sometime wonder how I entertain myself while Tim is photographing... Well, now you know! Gumby and I hang out! We spent a lovely five day in Savannah, Georgia and surrounding areas! I enjoyed every minute of the alone time with my husband (Yes, even when he was taking MORE pictures!).


Whew, nothing like a cold one after a day of exploring!








We spent some time at Fort Pulaski, very interesting place to explore! Those holes are from cannonballs, some of which are still stuck in the wall in places!






We loved Tybee Beach so much that we went back for a second day, I'm sure that's no surprise to anyone that we ended up on the beach during a historical vacation!

It's not really about the race....Derby Day 2010!!

Another great celebration, it's become quite a tradition! The kids get to race their horses, the parents get to show off their hats, and Matthew wins all of the money.... AGAIN!!






Sarah and Matthew's "horse" for the big race! Note the colors and yes, she was named "Buckeye"!



Another winning hat design... And, no, I really don't have too much time on my hands!


Developing a race strategy...

Siesta 2010!!

Our annual migration south, and what a fantastic week! The sunshine, the warmth, the sand, the family... couldn't have asked for more! We even tore ourselves away from the beach long enough to visit the Mote Aquarium, and to take on some putt-putt!














Sarah's in double digits!!!!

"I'll never be a single digit again!", she said with some level of sadness! Lookout tweens here we come! So we brought a birthday cake to Sakura's, and then she had a sleepover with some school friends. The next morning we went to decorate cakes "Ace of Cakes" style at a local bakery!





Lego Convention 2010!



Wow, there were some cool Legos! Talk about inspiring some creativity in the Lein household!

Matthew=One Happy Kid!


This is a picture of his "Great Day Cup", he made that to catch all the things that were great about that particular day!



I promised that when Matthew turned six he could have his first sleepover, and he held me to it! His friend Alan spent the night and they had a great time!
