Our beach baby...


Our baby girl will be turning four soon. It is hard to believe that it has been 4 years since she entered our lives. It seems like she has always been a part of our family. I guess she has always been a part of our soul. The Lord always knew that she would be ours. And we thank Him daily for this amazing child, so full of life and love.

On our recent vacation to visit my parents on the East Coast, we knew we wanted to capture her first visit to the beach. As a child, I spent a lot of time by the ocean. There is something that calms your soul when you hear the waves crashing. I have many fond memories of shell searching. And oddly enough, the second she hit the beach, her eyes dropped and she started scanning the sand for her treasures. She carried those shells all morning. And they made the trip home as well. It was a beautiful morning of firsts. Her first sandcastle, her first walk through the waves, her first sand crab...a beautiful morning for our beautiful girl. We love you...

Gorgeous!! All of them are beautiful... that last one is really striking. She looks so 'grown-up' there. Can't wait to see the rest of your vacation images (not so subtle hint!). Hope you had a relaxing vacay!
