I miss the beach already!!
















We have been at the beach the past 3 weeks and I miss it! I would love to live there all summer! We spent a week at Emerald Isle at my mom's beach place and had a lot of fun. We built sand castles, went to the aquarium, played putt putt (or as Luke called it "duck duck", go figure), the water slide, we went tubing, man it was like paradise! Then following week was the 4th of July ( the holiday where the entire world celebrates my mother's birthday)! So we went back to the beach for the 4th. This trip involved my family, my mom, Joy's family, John's family, my aunts and Jill's family. It is always fun to get my kids together with their cousins. They love each other so much! My mom really enjoyed us being with her as well.



We close on our new house on July 25th. We are getting so excited. Below are alot of pictures of different stuff.




Luke and Carman buried in the sand with their friend from the beach.


Luke learned to swim without his jacket while we were on vacation.


Carman loved tubing. She cried when we took her off. Btw- those are not her feet, they are mine.

Christian and I went on a date night while Alan and Sharon watched the kids for us. This is us at the Beaufort waterfront.
Our family on Carrot Island after tubing. It was super windy that day!


This is a picture taken from my foyer looking into the family room.

One side of my kitchen. I love the window at the sink b/c I can look out into the backyard.


The sodded fenced in backyard helped to seal the deal for us.


That's enough for tonight. I will post more later.
