Embrace the Camera – Ft. Lauderdale Beach

Embrace the Camera – Ft. Lauderdale Beach

Although it’s only been a couple of weeks, it seems like forever ago that we were in Florida.  We did spend one morning at the beach.  The girls loved it as usual.  We played in the sand, collected shells, and Stella and Andy even took on the waves.  Charlotte and I barely put our toes in…warm sun, but chilly water!  And Andy was a trooper, playing water boy all morning…refilling and refilling and refilling the Princess watering cans.

 

Don’t forget to get yourself in those family photos this spring and summer…
Embrace the Camera.
Your kids will thank you someday when they look back.

Yesterday was such a busy day with all of Charlotte’s birthday activities, but as I mentioned we did have some time in the afternoon to bake together.  Without Stella.  Which was definitely unique!  Andy snapped a photo of the two of us in the kitchen so today I am linking up with Embrace the Camera.

Over the summer my dad turned 60.  So the question was…where do we go? See, he’s a total kid at heart. For his 50th? We went to Disney. Me, Andy & him. Pre-kids. So I expected a return trip with the grandkids. But all he wanted was to go the mountains in the fall. I

It’s hard to believe it’s already been one month since our Sedona trip. If you’ve never been, it’s amazing. In a couples-only lots of hiking breath-taking views relaxing spa service read in peace delish food artsy-fartsy too much wine sleeping in don’t bring small kids no routine to follow kind of way.

Embrace the Camera – Monkey See, Monkey Do

One of the things I love about our daycare is that they often will take a picture for me of something fun or funny.  Earlier this year Charlotte went through a bag-lady phase.  Loading up all kinds of bags and carrying them around with her babies, stuffed animals, blankets, etc.  It was quite hilarious to

Embrace the Camera – Charlotte

Oh Charlotte, you have been such a little angel with the absence of Stella this week.  You have fought us on NOTHING.  You’ve been sweet, using your manners, and such a helper.  You have been trying to feed, soothe, and even bathe Henry at different times.  I will miss the day you stop calling him

A few more vacation pictures that prove I was actually there! And while I was going through all 600+ photos from vacation, I came across this one: After confirming it was my husband that took the photo,  (let’s just say my mom couldn’t see into my Nikon D40 as well as her point and shoot
