Fall trip to the beach

You know it's bad when you get a Christmas card in the mail from a blogging friend telling you it is time to update your blog....ahem.  Because I clearly am in need of another humorous comment from JM after procrastinating on oh so many posts, I decided to get in one last fall post before all things Christmas.

One of the most enjoyable weekends we had this fall was a trip to a fabulous beach house owned by some fabulous friends.  The Buchanans graciously invited us and the Saladas to join them for the weekend.  To my credit, Nancy hasn't posted on our weekend there yet either.  Love you girl.  Adeline thanks Jesus for the Saladas more than anyone or anything else.  Sometimes, I think she wants to be a Salada.  Linus is always looking out for my girls...I love this picture...

One evening we got crabs for all the adults who enjoy eating them.  Since everyone else was pounding their food, Linus thought he would try it with his pizza.


Story time with Nancy...




Seriously, could she be any sweeter?  I could just eat up all that deliciousness.


One contender for our family Christmas picture....if I had actually gotten around to sending Christmas cards....sigh...




We had BE-UTIFUL weather!  With our bare feet running in the water, you could never guess it was November...in Maryland!!!!  I love this picture of Nancy and Amelie running from a wave...


My sweetheart.  I love this man.



This looks a lot like this picture on the beach in Thailand when Adeline was one.



The change in tide left some nice pools of water for the kids to get covered in sand and water play in.












I love watching these two play together....most of the time.

Thanks to the Buchanans and the Saladas for a delightful vacation.  Let's go again!!!

I gotta say, I love these beach pics -- especially now because we're bracing ourselves for a blizzard!


Thanks for finally updating your blog. ;-D

What fun!

Hey, I've been neglecting my blog too. It's no fun if you're a slave to it, I say.

Hope you and yours are having a wonderful Christmas!
