A Day at the Beach!

Another Spring Day At The Beach!

Some of my favorite memories from our day at the beach last Saturday: watching Grace's face beam with pride as she flew our kite so high all by herself, hearing Jack say "up, up, UP" to encourage Grace to fly the kite even higher!, seeing Grace wearing her sweet white vintage dress for the first time (which was made with such deep love from her Maddy), watching Jack point to all of the beautiful sites at the beach, building sand castles with Grace & Jack, watching Jack put his tiny toes into the very cold ocean water and then watching him turn around to run in the other direction!, watching Grace put her toes into the very cold ocean water and then watch her run right into the ocean for more!, seeing Grace & Jack with Daddy, watching Jack do his "upside downs!," smiling as Jack came back up from his "upside downs" to see that the sand had stuck to the sunscreen all over his forehead, twenty tiny sandy toes and twenty tiny sandy hands, splashing in the water, drawing in the sand with sticks, and most of all just being with my two beautiful children and wonderful husband.

Grace Takes Maddy & Poppy to the Beach!

Sand, Sand, & More Sand!

We are so lucky to live in Maine, where we have such beautiful and very sandy beaches. Needless to say, Gracie girl got a bit sandy today at Ogunquit Beach. We brought home thousands and thousands of grainy souvenirs to remember our fun day at the beach. :)

Happy, Happy Birthday to Maddy!

We love you and can't wait to bring you & Poppy to the beach in just a few short days.
