Beach House Baby

We've been out of the blogosphere while at the Garvin Family Reunion. We had a great time. There were 25 Garvins, Garvin-in-Laws, and Step-Garvins staying in a twelve bedroom North Carolina beach house. Art handled himself quite well amongst the crowd. Sometimes he got overwhelmed and cranky and a lot of the time he was kind of quiet and just taking it all in, but eventually he got back to his normal, smiley self. It was nice for Ben and me because there were so many willing Art-watchers. We took naps, played cards, and even flew a kite on the ocean beach with our Art-free time.

I'll post more later, but here's a couple pics of Art with his Garvin relatives. There's Art enjoying the sun with his cousin Mindy, left, her daughter Caitlin, and Art's Aunt Ashley on the right. Then a sly shot of Uncle Josh and Art taking a nap together. Finally, there's Art hanging out with his cousin Mira, who lent him her swing for the weekend.
