This vacation was one the best we have ever had as a family. It was also the simplest. There is something to be said about simplicity.

I don’t share much of my personal life here but I feel compelled to do so now. The little guy above is my 3rd child, my most difficult child. While we were at the beach house he was the easiest. It was like something switched the light on and he became a dream child. I feel the pull of the beach more now than ever. His soul belongs close to the beach.

This is my daughter and my cousin’s daughter. They are 6 months apart and friends since birth. This is a friendship everyone needs and deserves.


This crew was so much fun to hang with all week.

My youngest surprised me…he loved the beach and the water.

By the end of the vacation the girls said “NO MORE PHOTOS PLEASE”

Okay not really. I don’t know what was going on here but this photo makes me giggle.
