I can’t help taking 5,394 photos on the beach. Yes, I’ve already posted too many. Maybe this will be my last one. Ruthie loves the beach. I love taking photos of her loving the beach. That’s my only excuse…

I don’t know if there’s anything I look forward to more each year than going to the beach. If I were simply going with my own family, it would STILL probably be one of my favorite trips. But, we’ve been fortunate the past two years to get to meet my parents and sister’s family there […]
