So Very Thankful
For a weekend away with family. For laughter. For good food and cold
drinks. For cameras that capture more than I could ever remember. For little kids. For the ocean and fresh salty air. For
exploration. For movies about the cycle of life. For getting out of
the house and away from the routines of our everyday. For Grandparents. For
tall grass. For secret gardens. For picnics. For conversation. For hugs
and kisses. For sunshine. For possibilities.
He likes Nick.Jr, PBS Kids, Lego Star Wars site, and a Green Eggs & Ham game my Mom found :).

It was really nice & sunny for the OR coast...but still windy (high 50's, low 60's). There were some people on the beach in their bathing suits (a beach that is semi-protected from the wind).

Simon doesn't have his own computer yet. In the photo he is working on one of my parent's iBooks. Here at home he plays on either my laptop or desktop.

We watched both The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Marley & Me. Enjoyed both of them quite a bit :).

Love all the photos. I can't believe how much older Anna looks. She still looks just like you, though. :)

BTW, thanks for the regular reminders that lists are a great way to journal, too. I started journaling daily when I was 7 so I tend to free-write a lot. I wish I'd remember to do lists like this more, though.

Simon is turning into a very handsome young man. I think his smile will probably break a few hearts. Your photos are great, I love real life photos so much better than posed one. Have a wonderful week. I'm off to the beach with my grandkids for a whole month. I must be out of my mind!

and for the service people, past and present, who have secured our freedoms and enable us to continue to enjoy them--some paying the ultimate price so we don't have to. God bless them all.

Wonderful photos, Ali, as always. I just love the one with you all at the table with your laptops... a bit of a meeting of the minds. :) You are looking amazing, by the way, so soon after Anna's arrival!! Love the list, too... may need to lift your idea for a LO. Thanks for sharing ...
