It was so great going down to see these sweet people who were enjoying a ‘true’ family vacation at Edisto Beach.   Mr. “S” was not liking the sand between his toes and I sure hope he had a change of heart by the end of the week.  Thank you so much for having me down…here’s a quick sneak peek.

One of my favorite families of all time…and I always leave laughing.  Here’s to a smooth and happy send-off to college!

I love nothing more than to get together with a big group having a nice, family vacation.  I know it takes great effort to make it work and I applaud you as my family has certainly struggled to get it done.  How much fun and oh the memories that the cousins are making with each other!  Here is a sneak peek of our morning together.

~snicker snicker~ I sure DO…they are escaping…on the beach…by THEMSELVES!

What a fun afternoon with this ginormous crew!  After we had wrapped things up…the mamas and I were sharing parenting stories and found ourselves alone while the other 423 members of their family went back up to the house.  I said my goodbyes and went back up and was quickly greeted with a, “Do you know where the Mamas are?”  (If you’re one of my little neighbors and you know me well…my answer is always, “She ran away.”)  I spared you, sweet child, and informed you of their secret beach hideout.

Thank you for having me out…I had a BLAST.

The family gathered for a beautiful and festive celebration and a great time was had by all…teenagers included ~smirk~.

Two Devon Rex kitty cats…one five-year old…one five-day old…two parents…equals one GREAT morning.  Such a laid-back household full of love, laughter, tolerant pets and just…life.  Elise, I had so much fun with you, George, Walker, Townsend, Charlie and sweet Miss Alexandra…it was hard to leave!  Thanks for having me over!!

What a pleasure it was to spend a morning on the beach with this crew.  Mama and Daddy…you must be so proud because these are four very engaging, kind, well-mannered children all with great attitudes and dispositions.

Here is a sneak peek of our playdate…I’ll let you know when the rest of your gallery goes up!

As a mother of three very sleepy teenagers…I was most impressed by the fresh-faced youths at 8:00am.  I don’t even know how to feel about you all being up, ready and on time.  Thanks for having me out!! xo

So glad to meet up with this cute family and capture some good ole cousin fun.  Nothing like summer vacation time with lots of family!

This past weekend I took my children home to Athens for my daughter to visit UGA.  We took a quick spin by Oconee Hill Cemetery…drove by Plum Nelly Road, Milledge Circle…and walked right in and plopped down at Anne Horton’s kitchen table on Fortson Circle.  Familiar faces and smells like time had never passed.  What a treat to share my third mama with my daughter.  This yummy little one…is Elizabeth’s grandson.  So much love for all of you.
