fun

We went to the beach, again, yesterday.

It’s the one place we are all able to find something to do, something to enjoy.

And just spend time together.

I’ve got about 1.39 million pictures from the last few days, but I thought these were really fun.

They make me smile.

And, because I’m no longer 14, and could never do a toe touch, a bit jealous.

This is my sister’s oldest daughter, Taylor. She is beautiful, fearless, witty… and a competitive cheerleader. As a proud aunt I must share that her team won the 2010 NCA National Championship this year.

We are off again today, for one last day of adventuring before my sister and her kiddos leave.

We’re gonna miss them.

    What fun! My kids would love it if we lived near a beach…ah, but we don't.

    And I could not do a toe touch like that when I WAS 14. Impressive!

    Good heavens, I'm insanely jealous of those cheer moves. I couldn't even do that when I was young and skinny like she is. Which just isn't fair.

    And way to go, Auntie, for catching it w/ your camera!

    I am so glad you were smiling when you took these. Because I know you were. Still praying for y'all… the Lord is holding all of you close, especially little Vivi.

    Congrats on the PW water selection, Stefanie! I made it to the finals on the last contest, America, and couldn't really believe it! LOVE the image, and I too was looking for the trampoline! It's a great capture!
