Most mornings I got up early to breathe the fresh air and take pictures of the predawn light ...
... and sunrise over the Atlantic.
It was nice.
Saturday morning, the kiddos frolicked in bed.
Madeline played with Summer and Alex while Oliver worked on his neck muscles.
Madeline and Alex drew scary ghosts together.
Summer and I took Madeline and Oliver into town (Sea Isle City) to pick up diapers, eat lunch, and buy some sweets.
We stumbled across the town's Fall Family Festival, which flooded the promenade with vendors and crowds and precluded the low-key mid-September beachside stroll we'd anticipated.
Apparently we missed sand-scultping demonstrations (which I only now learned were going on then), but we did manage to find crab cakes and lobster bisque -- yum.
And that evening, we added some delicious steamer clams to our seafood extravaganza.
Sunday morning, Madeline had something perhaps even better than crab cakes and clams -- sticky buns.
Then we posed for some family photos. Here are four generations of Greene males.
And here's our little nuclear family.
By late morning, we were on our way home. The drive was long and exhausting.
We finally made it home around 8 pm.
Today it was back to work for me and school for Madeline. Oliver, though, got to keep hanging out with his mom.
And when I came home, he and I hung out a bit too.
