Happy now?

May 19, 2018May 20, 2018 BlakesMama1 Comment

A very kind person made a comment to me the other day.

One thing Jeff and I had in common from the beginning of our relationship was our love of camping. As I’m typing this, that sounds strange; but, we’re strange, so whatever!

The featured image is one of my favorites. Brand new baby Blake in Daddy’s arms. I’ve been taking even more pictures than I used to. The other night I started going through them.

Yesterday we went to the beach. Jeff and I decided to pack up the girls early and just go. The weather was beautiful and we ended up being the only people on the entire beach.
