1, 2....That's About As Far As She Goes

Want to be back there so badly.

Would love to see them play one more game of hide-n-seek at the village in front of the fountain.

So tonight after homework and before bath, we played a game in our own backyard. No camera. Just play. They had just as much fun.

So that makes me happy. It makes me happy to see how hard my love works to help me get them to sleep. And to relate to the familiar frustration when they are just too wound up and it's a tough night getting them down. We don't have to say anything...just pick up when the other needs a break. That's something.

Why can't I stop...

gazing at these pictures? We're home. It's nice to be home.
But....

The curls are gone. Oh, I'm going to miss those.

No more sea shells.
He found over 300. Mostly broken, but he didn't care.

I'll miss the feel of the sand in our toes.

Too many pictures to count.
I take thousands and hope to get a few good ones.

The truth is that some of the best moments are when...
I just put the stupid camera down.

But, it's so nice to have these. Gold.

More to come.

Wish I didn't have to sleep.

The Great Thing About Vacation

I have no idea what time it is. When we are hungry, we eat. When we are sleepy, we sleep.

When we feel like playing, we play.

When we feel like dancing, we dance.

Jesse Girl becomes...Curly Sue?

We are in Destin. The weather is spectacular. The beaches are beautiful. We are in heaven.

Life is so Good.

There is no place on earth I would rather be than right here, right now.

When was the last time....

What a Wonderful Day!
TPC Sawgrass
Just the two of us.


We saw Tiger hit a tree on 16..."You've got to be kidding me!" We heard him say.
Then, there was Cejka. Amazing! We had just purchased our first Ultra, when all the sudden, a golf ball lands just behind us at the beer bar. Holy Crap! Front row of his amazing shot back on the green! How exciting!!


I enjoyed the people watching and the fashion, of course, while he led the way. We walked for miles it seemed. Enjoyed every minute. The weather was perfect, course was absolutely beautiful, port-a-potties...not so much.

But perhaps, the best part of our day was this. When was the last time you drove down the interstate with both windows down and the sunroof open? Oh, what you are missing if you haven't in a long while. Go for it. Feel young. It's awesome.

On the Rocks....With Salt


Cheese? Cheese?
It's coming baby.

The anticipation.

Oh the specials tonight. All of our friendly faces greet us. High fives from our friend David and here comes Martin to tell us about the specials. Tempting...but we'll have the regular.

So comfortable and familiar. We all look forward to this.

We really didn't need a Mexican Holiday as an excuse to go.

Every day is a Mexican Holiday.

Thank God for family and of course, margaritas.

Those Cheeks

Oh My Chunky Monkey.

Those cheeks.
Impossible not to love.

Tonight she broke into song at random moments.
Twinkle Star.

She made it her own.

We Should Be Doing Homework

Yes, we should be writing sentences with capital letters in the front and a period at the end. We will. After a game of ball on the back porch. It won't take long. He has his own rules you know. Just one game. Sure, why not.

The best part of my day. Me, my boy, my girl and my love....just hanging out and playing ball on the back porch. It's the simple things.

I think I'll go join my love now.
