A Little Bit of Virginia

The other day I took Joey to a beach for the first time since we've been in Virginia. This is Chick's Beach, and it's not a tourist place, so not crowded at all (also, no bathrooms). :)






Joey saw Earl wearing his leather riding vest one day and had to put his on too. Everyday he gets more and more adament about copying his daddy.



This was before our stuff was moved in, I think. The back view of part of our house. (And Joey)





I think Joey's 3s are going to be harder than his terrible twos. His attitude is all of a sudden horrible and defiant. He tells me no, when he never used to. And is worse in public than ever!





You wouldn't know that he's not a sweet funny angel all the time just by looking at these pictures though. LOL









Joey took this of Grandma today from the backseat. He LOVES having someone to play in his room with him and hang out in the hammock and whatever else he can convince her to do. We're very glad she's here visiting for the week.




She's been taking some pictures since she's been here, so I stole a few for the blog.












Joey loves hanging out on the hammock with anybody, pretty much. It's so shady and much cooler than the rest of the back yard.




This was me on a work call, in my "office/library."




One side of the kitchen (the other side had too man dirty dishes, so I'm not sharing that photo)













One side of the living room. We haven't set it up how we want it yet, It's not an easy room to work with, with our furniture for some reason.




The front door (and Joey's head).




The other side of the living room. (And Joey)





My messy closet. I'm THRILLED to have a walk-in closet again. It's been a while (since we lived in CA).



The master bedroom half done. It had some leaves on the ground and still stuff lying around that needs to be put away and unpacked.



Joey posing for Grandma on his car bed (he thinks it's lightning mcqueen--shhhh, don't tell him its not.)




Joey in his overcrowded room. He has way too many toys and not much room. But his closet is bigger, too. His room is smaller than in Jacksonville, though.





One side of the back of our house. See Joey's swing parts? And our moving boxes/trash?





The hammock is under those trees.





View from the center back door.



One side of the front of the house (and Joey).




The front view. Wish the lawn was greener.
Yesterday, a funny conversation with Joey took place. Well, everyday that happens, but this is definitely worth sharing. Joey informed Grandma that she, and he named other girls, don't have a pee pee. He also explained and boys, him included, and he named more boys, do have a pee pee. Grandma agreed with him. Joey then says, "Wonder where we get these pee pees? The pee pee store?"
We cracked up. I asked him if that's where he got his and how much did it cost, he said $4.

  3. Love the house Gail! Thanks for sharing. Glad you guys are all settled. Love the pee pee story and the whoopie pie story! Kids are so funny. Yesterday I was singing and Ryleigh told me I was being annoying! I agree, I think 3 is going to be harder. And so far I am thinking 7 is the worst yet! LOL
