July in a Nutshell

Well we got back to the Aceh heat after Vietnam & Lij took his normal sleeping position to try & stay cool...(Lij is now bottle free & clearly outgrowing his crib!)

Thanks Brains for the cute outfit for Lij - we thought it was appropriate he was showing off his hands for the "I'm a handful" pix ;)

Guy time lounging on the porch:


While in Vietnam we found marshmallows (hard to find in Indo). We just so happened to have gotten graham cracker like cookies as well as Hershey's that Mom & Dad had brought in care packages from the states so we were all set for s'mores....

Lij just got the graham cracker part & didn't seem to mind (of course we didn't tell him otherwise, but ignorance is bliss right?)

Here's E cooking our marshmallows on thin wooden skewers over the gas stove, thankfully no weird taste, just yumminess!

One Sunday when our truck was getting fixed we took a motorbike ride about 30 minutes up the road to a more quiet beach we've dubbed Burton Bay in honor of our friends Andy & Tyler who discovered it with us...

Thanks for the fun swim trunks Nenek! (Grandma J)

E just starting 6 months being prego...

Quick trip to Banda & kidstop:



Video clips for the g'parents...


And finally stopping for dinner on our way back down the coast from Banda...they had a pet bunny Lij was enamored with:
Home again, home again - couple shots at one of our Calang beaches...

Lij's 2nd fav spot at the dinner table...

Last but not least, a fun date option here :)
