Wrightsville Beach

Saturday we made the spur of the moment decision to go to Wilmington for the night. We are so lucky to have a good friend live there that will take us in in a moments notice, kids and all. The girls had a great time playing at the beach Sunday. Here is Kendall burying Abbie.

Kendall enjoyed playing in the sand and could have stayed there all day.

Cara watched the day from sitting on the blanket under the umbrella.

Even I got in the water, and if you know me at all, the sand and ocean are not my favorite places to be. But Abbie and I had fun letting the waves catch us.

Kendall didn't like standing in the ocean but loved being in it when Daddy held her.

But really Abbie loved it the most. She didn't want to get out of the water. It was a nice day.

A Frog

This is the frog we found this weekend. It hopped into the garage and I let the girls each take a picture of it. This is the picture Kendall took when we got it to the grass.

This is a picture Abbie took while it was in the garage.

Best Buddies

Cara and her best bud Kylen just hanging out.

Strawberry Picking 2010

Our annual trip strawberry picking with Abbie's class. The girls got to enjoy a hayride.

Pick a bunch of yummy strawberries.

Of course eat bunch of yummy strawberries.

And take pictures as strawberries.

Mommy got away

Every year I get to go on a little weekend away with some of my best friends in Raleigh. As usual we rented a house right on the beach and enjoyed laughs, drinks and the view. This year we had special guests swim by.

Sunday morning the rain stopped just long enough for me to watch the sunrise (not a time of day I see very often).

I am ready to plan our fall retreat.

Azaleas In Bloom

Daddy gets all the good photo opts with the girls. After Church we couldn't resist taking a picture next to the Azalea bush while it was in bloom.

Easter 2010

We headed to Virginia to have Easter with the Family. Even though the girls had already participated in a few Easter Egg Hunts the novelty had definitely not worn off. Abbie stopped only long enough to actually pick up the treat before jumping to the next one.

Kendall had to inspect each goody before finding another one, maybe that is why she didn't find as many as Abbie.

And even Cara got in on the fun.
