Welcome to Shell City

In the SpongeBob movie, the heroes quest for a mythical place called Shell City which they finally reach, only to discover that it's a tourist trappish gift shop. One of the themes of the movie is that it's fine to just be a kid.

In a sly reference to that iconic destination, Moses decided that this year, we would build Shell City....


There's a simple pleasant feeling I get when I picture us at the beach. It's what a psychologist might call my happy place. Every year, I pose with my number one son in the same spot, and watch my self age. It looks like this:



Ruby wanted me to take a picture of her mermaid. She's the one with the exotic eyes, just in case you couldn't tell.



Violet has become a force of nature to be reckoned with. Like Glenn Close's character in Fatal Attraction, she will not be ignored. She enjoys a good snack, and likes to stick near the cooler, just in case someone else might like to enjoy one as well.



I have to change the subtitle in the masthead to reflect 4 kids in six years..
