beach days

so i try to be brave for abby's sake (no need to instill the fear of the mother into the daughter), but these things freak me out.  and for being so awkward looking they move really fast.  ugh.  

 i am proud to say the eleanor is happy at the beach.  she nearly lost it when she touched the sand for the first time.  

sandy bums make me oh so happy.  a sign of summer.

and the beach days lead to beautiful, sleepy nights.
