bye bye beach

today was our last day down here in sunny florida. we have had such a wonderful trip...and are very sad to see it end. how is it that vacations always seem to fly by? anyway, we are leaving relaxed and with some great memories. we headed back down to the beach after naps (or lack thereof for miss mary ryan hauck!) to take some pics of the girls in their adorable new summer bubbles. i took all the pics on my good camera so i will have to wait until i get home to download them...but look for them very soon!






want to give a special shout out to mary "sissy" as ry likes to call her. lilly is 10 months old today!! such a big girl. don't ask me why but as soon as we set foot on the sand lil's nose started running. poor babe. also, i know most of you are probably thinking "why doesn't she have a hat on that baby?" i swear i am not a terribly mommy...the hat came off about 5 seconds after i strapped it on. every time. little stinker.



i am already starting the countdown until we get to come back with my fam in july. (77 days, yes i just counted!) we are going to have so much fun. ryan is already talking about playing in the sand with brendy!
