A Few More

Aah...

The Beach. It's so lovely, especially when your favorite people are there. A week in Rosemary Beach was what we all needed, I think. Memories and warm feelings flooded me as I returned to our wedding destination. And, how wonderful to return with our sweet son.

There were quite a few firsts that happened on this trip. Thanks to Muffy and Skippy, Griffin had his first vacation. First swim. First time at the beach. First solid food! One of the best things was Griff meeting his cousins, Lily and Finn. They are sure to have years of fun together and maybe a little mischief.

Here are some of the highlights...Duke and Sam got some more quality time with Griff...seriously, the sweetest uncles.

There's something so reassuring about seeing Griff in my mom's arms, which was one of his favorite places to be.

Unfortunately, our schedules were not perfectly aligned, so there was a staggered schedule of arrivals and departures. Should we try to photoshop the boys in for a Christmas card?

The men.

We may not be quite as glamorous as we were a couple years ago on this same beach, but we're just as happy!

Sure to be best buds.

Delicious, isn't he?

Check out the bow tie. Just for you, Sammy.

Swimming with Daddy.

Skippy and Lily had quite an adventurous week together.

Hoosiers.

Hats all around!

Griff loves his Skippy already.
It's all about the relaxation!

Sweet Boy

Oh, tonight begins the new season of Glee. If you have not watched it, you should TRY it!

Watch it for the music. It's so good. If you were ever in a choir or musical or wished you could be, you'll love it. Or...watch it for the cute clothes. Watch it tonight! Yes, I'm serious.

Happy Birthday to You!
