sunrise -- moonrise

sunrise on wednesday morning

as i ran along the beach the sun rose into the clouds...

as i got further down the beach, it broke through another bank of clouds

so bright and beautiful!

the moon rising over the ocean

family picture time!

would you believe that Ross used a piece of driftwood that he found on the beach as a camera tripod? he did! stuck the piece of wood in the sand and set the timer on the camera!

surprise, surprise - guess who does not want to be in the photo with the other kids ? :) at least her dress is not over her head and she's not making a crazy face - she's just pouting :)

36!

just missed the sun peeking over the horizon this morning

self-portrait taken on my run this morning

i drew the number 36 and a candle in the sand

the birthday breakfast bar tradition continues... this time it was a granola bar

jillian - "so that's how you smile for a photo..."

fun with rice and sand

my Thing 1 and Thing 2 passing out popcorn at the boy's school last Friday to wrap up reading month

a really cool sink in the jacksonville airport.... it was flat and the water ran into the back. the only thing that came to my mind was if we had this sink at home - would the kid's toothpaste spit be everywhere ? :)

my beach chair - but jillian has claimed it as her own!

my beach beauty exploring the sand

my other beach beauty hauling water :)

fair-skinned beach beauty needed to cover up :)

tonight we tried to go to a cupcake store - but they were closed... we decided to stop at the grocery store for a sweet treat... then we went back to the beach to look at the stars

jayden being silly

having fun setting the timer on the camera... oops i cut off my head!
