Summertime, when the living is easy . . .

A few pictures of what we have been up to lately (that has been keeping us mostly outdoors and away from the computer!). . .




Playing on the beach (this time down in the Outer Banks)


Building sand castles


Watching waves crash and dolphins swim off-shore


Relaxing in the sun (or in the shade of the umbrella in this case)


Smiling and being happy


Playing in the fountains at the Botanical Gardens

(We didn't bring Ella's swimsuit this time, but still managed to have fun and get wet!)


Visiting the butterfly house


Ella was actually surprisingly good at spotting all of them

But it was hard not to touch


Spending time on the potty


There's a little glimpse into our recent happenings. We expect a change next week when Brad will start a more difficult rotation and it will be the girls and I without Daddy more often, but we are doing our best enjoying his company while we can!

What have you been up to?
