We are having the best time ever hear in Corpus Christi/Port Aransas! Matt and I arrived in Corpus Christi on Christmas Eve. Since my niece, Jennifer, lives in Corpus we thought it would be great to spend Christmas with her. To sweeten the deal even more, my brother (Jennifer's Dad) decided to bring his family from California to Texas to be with his daughter and us for the holiday. So we got to spend Christmas day with my brother, Eric, and his family. A day and a half later Matt's family met up with us at Jennifer's house in Corpus Christi. Then on the 27th we all (Eric's family and the Lingard's) headed to Port Aransas where John and Eric rented some beach condos. We are here till New Year's Day.
So far we are having so much fun spending time together. We have done a lot of relaxing and playing on the beach. Ian can sit and play in the sand for hours. Also, Ian has been a lot more interested in using the potty since Nana Jeanne gave him some Bob the Builder underwear. In fact, for the first time ever he went poo poo on the potty. Matt and I were totally thrilled to say the least. The picture below shows Ian in the very moment of this historic act.
We've made several purchases at the local kite shop here and spent tons of time playing with fun little flying toys and kites. Eric and his gang of course have all their kite gear and some really cool giant power kites we've been playing with. Today we walked around this really beautiful bird sanctuary on a marsh. Anyway, there's too much to tell. I couldn't choose just a few photos to share so I'm posting a slideshow of our trip thus far below. We have really enjoyed spending time with both our families and are sad to see the time coming to a close. This has been a great trip for us and we look forward to many more with our awesome families!!

Thanks so much for posting all the photos. What a great trip. I do think that Ian will not thank you for the potty training photo as he gets older. There is no dignity in being photographed sitting on a toilet while your mother in is raptures regarding your first BM.
Adorable kids. I wish you were closer.
It looks like you and your family are having so much fun there on the beach. You being on the beach makes me smile as we are surrounded by snow here in Idaho. We hope you all had a great Christmas. Hope to see you guys soon. You should come over to visit us in the new year... it's not like you don't know where we live. :) Take care.
I am so jealous. I love the beach. and congrats on the toileting success!
Cute! Man, what an awesome picture to show his dates...and the memory forever etched in history in the blog world. He'll love you for that! That was adorable. So fun reading about you and your beautiful family. :)
