Feel the Burn

We are having lots of fun at our vacation in sunny California... well, except Derek who is a lovely shade of lobster red. You see, he often makes fun of my day-glow white skin and SPF 70 sunblock, but not anymore! After a day at the beach (Van loved the sand, hated the ocean) he has a blistering sunburn (Van and I are still a lovely porcelain hue).

And if you did not already hate me because my son has slept through the night since 4 weeks or the fact that I never had morning sickness, Van's first flight was a breeze, he slept the entire time. We'll see how the trip back goes... Well, we are off to the Long Beach Aquarium now, I'll check back in soon.

HA!! Derek deserves everything he gets! This is payback for all 162 times he's made fun of my sunburns.

You are quite possibly the proud mother of the easiest baby in the world. Jealous! But toddler time is around the corner and he IS half Derek...

Miss you three! But, there is a surprise waiting for you when you get home.

My goal in Hawaii was to come back looking like I had not just been in Hawaii.

Those of us that are "fair-skinned" (or PALE or WHITE) like we are, understand and appreciate multiple applications of 70 SPF.

But even for those who learn the hard way, it sucks so I feel for him.

I can't wait to see pics of Van in the sand!
