Play on the beach?
Or play on the beach...
Decisions, decisions.
All right- enough of that. I am sorry. Really, truly- I am. To all my friends back in, well- you know where you live. I know it's cold. I feel for you, I really do. And, trust me, we'll have PLENTY of winter left waiting for us upon our return. But, for now, I am enjoying shorts and sitting on the deck watching and listening to the waves crashing (see picture above for a visual) as I type this note.
I must make this short- after all- I've been telling my kids for the last 30 minutes, that we're about to leave for Papa's. (My Dad's place is a mile away). And yet, here I sit- typing away. So... quickly! A recap....
The last 2 days since I wrote have been good. Just the typical getting settled, big grocery shopping, the obligatory Wal-Mart stock-up trip. I'd go to Target, but it's over 30 minutes away. Even Wal-Mart is a 20 minute drive, the closest "big-box" store. It was cloudy, overcast, cooler (68) and windy yesterday. Yes, I know, pull out the violin. I am NOT complaining, just recapping the day. But we didn't spend a whole lot of time on the beach because it was SO windy! The kids ran around in the waves for an hour- good exercise. Mike had to work all day... yes, on New Years. Big demo in Boston next week so I think this will be much more of a vacation for the kids and I than for Mike. He's been locked in our (new) bedroom for the last 2 days working and prepping... but, hey- at least he's got a good view! ;)
Since it wasn't the best outdoor weather yesterday, instead we found other ways to entertain ourselves. Take, for example, the laughs we enjoyed over silly faces. Who would've thought that putting a glass up to your face could render such a grotesque, yet hilarious, "tiny" face!??
But, today is a new day. If you are prone to tiny bits of nice weather envy, skip the following sentence.... It is 74 and sunny - and just a gentle breeze. It is time for me to sign off. The natives are getting restless.... time to head to Papa's and then down to the beach.
Until later!!

Hey there! Glad to see you're back since I was just starting to read your blog when you took a break. :) I am jealous that you are in Florida, but at least one of us is warm! That's awesome that you are able to do that. Have a wonderful trip and happy new year.
This made me smile! You made my whole day! Thank you. I love Grace's "small" face. Lol. Until next time... :)
I'm so happy for you to be on the beach getting a bit of a respite from the wintery weather up north. Love the pictures!
It's been unusually warm here--upper 70s. We've been entertaining the thought of getting out on the boat, although we usually do that this time of year anyway even if it's cooler.
Enjoy!
That little girly is so cute no matter what she is (or is not) doing.
Happy New Year!
I was hoping that's where you were headed.
Have fun!!
