my day in photos …

I’m usually a pretty early riser, but these days I have been majorly sleeping in!  7ish is luxury at it’s finest for me!  This morning though, I had much to get done in order to leave the house by 8:30 with 3 kids in tow for vacation.  {Taylor’s dad is home this weekend, so she stayed with him}.
Anyway.  I thought I’d get a head start on things and was proud to wake at 6:00!
As I started to sneak past the baby’s room, I saw she was already awake, which was odd.  But dad must have it handled, so I crept into my office to get some things done.
A few minutes later, she comes toddling in … alone.  Didn’t expect that.  Oooo, but I love to cuddle her up, so took full advantage!  After a bit, she’s getting antsy and ends up on my desk coloring at the ‘color station.’  All three of the girls {and sometimes Taylor}, love to draw on the erase board and play back there.

Then it was a mad-dash off to the airport for our three{plus} hour flight to Exuma.  The weather isn’t hot and sunny.  It’s cloudy, windy, humid, and absolutely wonderful.

I don’t know what it is, but for me … time just stops when I’m here.  I absolutely felt my soul being soothed as we left the airplane.
When we got to the house, Hunter and I laid down for a nap … ahhhhhh …
{OH!  P.S. folks … I took the camera out of the box!!}  I absolutely love it.  Amazing.  Wow.  How did I take photos without it?  My bum-eye is still getting the best of me, but I’m trying not to get too frustrated by it.}
So this is Huntie when we woke from our nap …

And this is Piper letting me play with my camera.
And this is Hunter looking for the sun.  {Don’t you love potty-training undies?}
And this is Hunter with Lion {and attitude}.
And this is Wynter with all her dolls.  Piper and Wynter have spent the last three days straight playing ‘dollie’ … I can not believe how obsessed they are with it.
And this is a pre-dinner walk to the dock.
And the girls digging a clam shell out of the water.
And a view of the vast amount of water surrounding us.  Water that holds peace for me … sigh …
Hunter with something to say.
A dad who loves to explore with his girls.
And finally … the evening comes to an end with game night.
Time to get some kiddo’s to bed {yeah, by that I mean I’m hitting the hay early}!
Nite-nite …
