The first days of summer

Camano Island beach time was a family favorite this week.

Rowen is always reaching for something. He only says, "mama" and "dada" so everything else is a grunt and hand thrust in one direction. I love the boys.

Rowen pool side on the first day of summer- SUNNY!

Don't drink the water Rowen!

we are soaking up these adorable moments as they each come and quickly pass us by. Justin & I often look at each other, smile and whisper our love for each other & our babes. When you weight the responsibility and challenges of being at our stage in life with two kids... thank God our two beautiful kids out weight it all. They are charming, breathe taking, lively, full of adventure and brilliant in every little person way!
