::exhaustion::














We're home. We're tired. No, not tired as much as simply exhausted. We left Friday night at 6:45 and pulled in the driveway at 2:05 today. The ride was good; the kids did well, the weather was fine (some rain, but not much) and Colin and I stayed awake. We had a wonderful week! It's great to be home as well though.
I have a few hundred pictures between the ones I took and the ones Lois and my mom took, but instead of showing them ALL to you I just picked a few favorites. The kids LOVED the water, both the ocean and the pool. Abigail would probably pick the ocean first, Henry the pool. He had no fear of the water, leaping into the pool, even if we weren't ready! Abigail loved running into the waves and picked up a few hundred shells (many of which came home to Michigan with us). It was a fun week to spend with family. It's very cool that my family and Colin's family can do something like that and have fun together...I know not every family has that kind of relationship, so we are truly blessed.
Now, back to reality. Mail, bills, wash, school, meetings, work, etc...but first...some sleep.

I hear you. Nice to get away, and nice to be back home. Your pictures are fabulous. I love the close up of Abigail's profile- she looks so serious studying what is before her. And little Henry looks so happy in every picture- his excitement is evident and contagious. Nice job capturing such precious family memories!

Welcome home! LOVE the photos... the one of Colin and Abigail in the pool is INCREDIBLE! Such a framer. Oh yes, and I'm quite jealous. :)
