Life's A Beach

The girls and I recently spent 10 days on the coast.  We started off in Orange Beach with Hunt and the Treadwell clan.  Seven kids, two grandmothers and six thirty-somethings sure made for a full house condo...three to be exact.  We packed in boat rides, crabbing, Lulu's and, of course, some nachos and dancing at Tacky Jack's!  What sweet memories!

Bottoms up!
Virginia, Amelia, Henry, Charlie, Gunnar

Crabbing with the big boys!

Our sweet V!  Couldn't Tillie pass as her little sis?

Tillie and Frannie...the littlest babes
Come Monday, the girls and I headed East to 30A to spend the week with my family.  The weather was 85 and sunny and the water was crystal clear.  Perfection!  We soaked up as much beach time as we could, did a little shopping and, of course, did what we do best...dined!  How can you not down there....WAY TOO MANY options!  Thank goodness the beach was sparse and I packed a plethora of cover-ups!  My sweet parents were so dear to include us and went way out of their way to make it as relaxing as possible for momma...even sat inside during nap time so I could relax on the beach sans bebes!  It was such a blessing to have a break from planning weekly menus, packing  lunches and bathing bottoms...not that I would trade any of those for the world...it's just nice to have a chance to miss those motherly duties:)!  THANK YOU, Mom and Dad...and Aunt Frannie!

One of those sweet, helpful moments...glad dad had his phone handy.
One happy little girl!  Thank you, George!

Wouldn't be the beach without a little Lilly!



Before I wrap things up, I wanted to share my first failed attempt at Christmas card pictures....  Cute in theory but things went downhill as soon as I pulled the plug out of Tillie's mouth.  She just couldn't get it together after that!















You're BEAUTIFUL!
