Everything Changes Soon or Later

Everything changes (except for my charming personality, which I will keep) and it is fun to be part of the process:  Anna returning to work, no more child care in our home, Andrew starting school, Emily going to preschool, re-arranging the rooms in our house (new colors and a few new pieces), & vacations with our special kids.   

Our trip to the beach has been totally awesome.  Yes the seafood every evening has spoiled us, but experiencing rest and relaxation at the ocean could not get any better.  I have great memories of the beach with my parents growing up and it is now awesome to create the same with my kids. 

Already have reservations for next summer!!!  We may even become residents of South Carolina one day.  Possibilities are endless. 

the last vacation of the summer

it's hot & muggy mess here but well worth the 2100 mile journey to get here...  Litchfield Beach rocks and we are having a blast.   Anna and I both are both beach bums when we get a chance and luckily for us, Andrew and Emily are following right in our footsteps.  There is nothing better than heat exhaustion, sunburn, and sandy shorts in 100 degree weather.  I love leaving hot phoenix and coming to hot South Carolina where I get to use my southern drawl and eat all the seafood I want.  The crab legs we ate last night were incredible.  

Now that Anna is teaching during the school year, we will be staying in VA for 6 weeks during the summer and of course one of those weeks will be at the beach.  

This is living!!!! We love it!
