beach week I

my sweet babies

mama's girl

i hate to keep belaboring this point, but last year at beach week we had NO kids. the picture on the right of us in blue? that was a year ago. do we look older? more sleep deprived? more responsible?

the whole family

guess who preferred sand to water?

ben keeps taking these birds eye view shots of me and judah, but i swear we're not always laying down

Wow! It's incredible how much can happen in a year's time. Personally I think you both look so much more content....

Gorgeous photos of you and yours!

WOW! Gorgeous pictures... looks like a beautiful place! And yeah... I'd say you look wiser, for sure! ;-) You have quickly blossomed into a beautiful family!

Anna, it was so completely awesome seeing you again and FINALLY meeting your amazing kids. They are completely charming, so forgive me for saying that maybe the sleep deprivation and stress is worth it. And what great pictures! I hope to be so lucky!
