More Love Than Hate

Nora’s relationship with the beach is slowly improving, one baby step at a time. Not only is she usually willing to put her feet in the water now, she’s finally really into the sand.Between the toys Mr. V’s mama left behind when the moved back to Florida and some free yard sale left overs, Nora has a great collection of beach toys with which she loves to dig in the sand.  And now that Chris has finagled Sunday’s off and we have a true family day, we’re taking every opportunity to create more positive associations for her.  Searching for shells,making shapes in the sand,and sitting as close to the water as possible are the little tricks we do to make sure she loves the beach.  We ask her if she wants to go in the water, but don’t put an pressure on for her to do it…because, honestly, it’s a little bit more relaxing to have a toddler that’s wary of ocean waves than a toddler who isn’t.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️
