Its been a while since our last post, and I think you all know the reason why.  It took some time to heal from the loss of Alfie.  He’s still here, with us every day – but a large amount of the pain has been replaced with good memories and the knowledge that Alfie started something good.

Anyway, on April the 11th it was my birthday – so we all headed down to Alfies favorite place – Surfside Beach in Galveston.  Here are some photos from that day.   As you can see, Phoebe had a wonderful time!  It was her first experience of water from what we can tell.  It took some time to get her in the sea, but once she saw Denny and Charlie in there she was quick to join in the fun.

Phoebe checking out the Gulf of Mexico for the first time!

Nothing new for Denny!

Your supposed to shake when you come out of the water!

Nice warm water!

Showing Phoebe how it’s done.

Getting in the swing!

Chase me!

Look at me!

Tastes salty!

Play!?

Mmmm, not sure.

Go Charlie!

Fearless!

Who? Me!?

Water in the ears!
