Beach babes, cont...

    Blogger was having issues the other day and wouldn't let me post all of my pictures.  So here's just a few more from our beach photo shoot in Florida.  These pictures of the babies with their Grandma and Grandpa are so precious to me...so much love captured in these images!

"Grandmas are for stories
about things of long ago.
Grandmas are for caring
about all the things you know...
Grandmas are for rocking you
and singing you to sleep,
Grandmas are for giving you
nice memories to keep...
Grandmas are for knowing
all the things you're dreaming of...
But, most importantly of all,
grandmas are for love."

   *Sigh* Looking at all these photos just makes me want to go back!  Or better yet, sell all my belongings and find a humble little cottage by the shore somewhere, and live the rest of my life there.  There is something so peaceful, even healing, about the ocean.  Time spent there is never quite long enough.
