This is Mike's post, but I had to get rid of the photos of me. Greasy hair is one thing, but it looked like someone punched me in the face in the winery shots (we went to Hawk Haven winery for Sangria Sunday a few weekends back).
Here's some beachy summertime photos in their place! Here we are in Stone Harbor (but yes, OC is still our favorite).
Napping on the beach in OC. Notice the "Instent"? Evan, Noah and I picked it up at the Ac-a-me and it's been perfect for the little boys (and mommies) to nap in on the beach. It lets us stay there for hours and hours.
More beach and more napping. This shot was taken after Evan ate 3.5 slices of Mac's pizza. I have no idea where the food goes on this skinny boy until he goes to the bathroom.
Wait... Someone isn't napping here.

SUMMERTIME, AND THE LIVIN'S E-Z, PART 2

Noah is 3 mos. old
We thought we'd class it up a bit and put Noah in a tuxedo onesie.
I had to post a million of these because he's just so damn cute.
So Noah's eyebrows are starting to grow in and so is more hair (although he's losing his little mullet in the back. Now it's just a little patch). His hair looks like it's coming in darker too. He's still talking away "Ah-GOO!" "Ah-GA!" and "GEEEEE". If you start cracking up, so will he in the funniest laugh ever.
Evan's been a huge help and I'm not being sarcastic or funny. He really is. He entertains Noah and stops him from crying. As Evan calls it - babysitting! He gets toys for his baby brother, bottles, pacis... Anything for "his" baby. One morning Evan got up late while Noah was taking his morning nap in the guest room. Evan looked around and said that he missed Noah.
It's really awesome... He doesn't even try to manhandle or hurt the little guy, like older kids do when they're jealous and pretend like they're trying to love the baby. He's the type of kid you can trust to sit with his brother while you're trying to make breakfast, lunch or dinner. He even calls him his best friend!
Noah is still not sleeping through the night though. He was doing good for a strictly breast milk fed baby for a while - only getting up once a night for a feeding then passing out again. BUT... the last week has been really rough. He's been up many times each night and sometimes has a hard time falling back to sleep, which turns me into a zombie every day. It doesn't help that Mike has been in Denver for the week. Maybe Noah senses that? Please start sleeping again baby... Please?

Fun with Mima and PoPo
It was an eating and present opening extravaganza!
Plus we pulled up one night to see a big, fat skunk hanging out in our back yard!
Plus we got in a fight with a bunch of SH snots!
Here's our weekend with Mima and PoPo- their first visit to our new home! We had Christmas in July while Evan opened all his gifts. Plus Evan opened up a Diego watch with his name on it and a Diego scooter from the Giffords. Evan insisted that we take it to Stone Harbor when we went out to dinner that night. He LOVES that scooter. He scares us a bit on it so Noah, Evan and I had to walk to the sporting goods store down the street from our house to pick up cute little knee pads for Evan's skinny little knees. We had to pick up skate boarding pads and they're a little big, but Ev will grow into them.
Here are some pics. Notice they're all of us going out to eat. We Cronins love to go out to eat. Evan actually ate an entire crabcake and half of my salad this night. Make sure to ask Mima and PoPo about the gang war that we were all a part of in Stone Harbor, but we were able to escape cruising at a swift 10 ft/hr. with Evan on his scooter. We're always asking for trouble.
Shirt courtesy of the Giffords. It's been Evan's favorite line ever since. "Ev, time to go to bed." His response is "Bedtime is for sockers (sic)!"
At the Lobster House. Evan and I split a broiled combo. He ate the flounder and crab cake and left me the shrimp, scallops and deviled clam. He's playing with a submarine that Mima and PoPo bought him for Christmas. It's still his favorite toy as of today!
Noah's pissed that he couldn't eat shrimp.
And breakfast at South Dock!
We hope they come back to visit us soon!

Evan, the Photographer
One day Evan took these pictures in the guest room. He's actually pretty good once you tell him to stand back from the subject.
He took some photos of me and Noah.
Noah shows off his magnificent forehead. Marti, if you read this - Maggie's blanket is behind me... You left it at our place!
Evan's "light-up plane".
My manicure courtesy of Mike.
An adorable shot with my baby. Please ignore my greasy hair. I don't get too much time to get fancied up these days.
Good job, Evan!!

SUMMERTIME - AND THE LIVIN'S EZ!
Evan gets in to a close up with his brother after a game of street hockey, bubble hockey, and driveway chalk decorating, all done with Sarah.
Noah couldn't be happier to be chillin' outside on a night like tonight. Cheeks in the House!

monsterMONSTER TRUCK Ride
Monster Truck Rides on the Beach? That's right! This ain't no joy ride - this is the real deal! When I left on my last business trip, I told Evan that if he was a good boy, that we would reward him with a Monster Truck Ride on the Beach. Guess who was a good boy...
Noah was so impressed with his big brother, and can't wait until he is big enough to ride with him!
Back on the Boardwalk, Evan drives a truck his size. Look at that sky - it was a beautiful night!
Evan finished up his night with a boat ride....
...and then a quick ride on the swings. We then walked back to the car, hitting every free sample on the boards between the pier and where we parked; The Fudge Kitchen, Polish Water Ice, and a cinnamon Auntie Em's pretzel. Only suckers and shoobies buy food on the boards! Check out Evan's cool light-up sandals that Aunt Wanda and Uncle Larry gave him. He loves them and insisted on wearing them to the boardwalk at night!
