And then relaxed...

We took our shoes off.

We found seashells.

All in all, our time together is chaos.

Our niece Anne is here with us too.
.
That is a special treat.

This morning Anne & JB & Mr. Ryan and Mr. Baby Drew & I walked down Commercial Street holding hands, all of us.

It is raining but we went to the beach anyway and looked for shells and stones.
.
Mr. Ryan calls them his 'collection.'
.
It doesn't get any better than this.
.
Every year we do this. I can only hope Mr. Ryan and Mr. Baby Drew carry these memories always.
.
I know about special memories. I know they matter as much as love matters. That we-who-is-a-family is able to experience this together is one of many reasons to be very grateful.
.
Thank you universe.

I'm having deja vu.
ReplyDeleteI have this strange feeling I've been in that very house before.
Weird huh?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
I'm cracking up over the Dorito pic. Hilarious! He just needs a beer in his other hand ;P
And the picture of J and Mr. Ryan is wonderful.♥
I'm glad your chaos is a good chaos. It's good to shake things up once in a while, especially with ones you love to pieces.
I'm loving the rain today. In fact, I'm basking in the glory of it!
Catch you later baboon.
See you soon alligator!
I know...I'm shaking things up ;)

ReplyDeleteThank you Universe!
I echo Marie, you are blessed to have such a lovely family and they are blessed that you share this wonderful vacation with them.
ReplyDeleteI remember collecting shells on the beach with my grandmother each year. I remember staying in her holiday house in small seaside town in New Zealand. I LOVED that house. My Nana was an artist and it was reflected in that house, it was a magical house.
ReplyDeleteKeep having a beautiful holiday!

I'm a huge believer, as you know, of family times. I think my kids will treasure our trips forever.

What a great post! The approaching ferry boats shots are wonderful.... like the "opening credits" for a film!
ReplyDeleteAll the shots are so happy - so filled with LIFE and Family! You truly are blessed to have one....
I can really see your Daughter's resemblance to you....and the Boys....they really have grown!

I am so happy you are all there together. You are making the kind of memories that never, ever go away. When mine were little, we would go to Yosemite every winter (to see the snow, and the amazing mountains). My kids still talk about it when they get together. Good stuff. xox!! Pam
ReplyDeleteI hope it's pouring rain down there so you don't go in the water with that shark that just showed up 20 feet off race point. YIKES!!!!!! Be safe!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMim, you made me laugh!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can hear the "Jaws" theme now.....
♥ R ♥
Fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, loving family! What memories you are making...little toes, beach towels, shells, alligator chairs and giggles and squeals. Music to your ears.
I hope you get your wish - three months in Italy with JB, writing, eating.
P'town looks amazingly cool, charming and very hip. How much fun was that to share a favorite place with favorite friends! Silliness rules. Great photos.
Convent of Cuban nuns....that has GOT to end up in a book somewhere.
