The boardwalk

So yeah, I've been "absent" this week. With the exception of a 45 minute "check in to make sure there was nothing pressing on the adoption front" session at the business center at Sunset Vacations office, I have been away from my laptop since last Saturday. I have 347 emails, a WHOLE LOT of RSS feeds from my bloggy friends, and much to say about our week at the beach. However, at the moment my brain is too tired to put into words what a week at Sunset Beach with my family means to me each year, so for tonight I'll just get up some pictures.

And don't worry, there are PLENTY more where these came from...

Strolling toward the beach.

Can't you just imagine their conversation? I was too far behind to hear what they were saying, but it sure was animated!
My sweet little guy, always checking to make sure one of us is close by.

My angels ~ it was at this moment that I thought my heart would burst with joy! How am I so lucky to be the mother of these two precious babies...
...that even though they fight, they love each other so!

Thanks again Tricia for capturing such beautiful images of my kids! Can you come to the beach with us again next year when I have a third child in white?
