6 Juniper Lane

We recently loaded up our belongings (almost all of them), filled up our coolers, borrowed a u-haul, and headed for sunny Hilton Head Island. This year our temporary residence was 6 Juniper Lane, just a short walk from the beach and- a fact that thrilled my husband to no end- a two minute drive from a Wild Wing Cafe. I ask you, does life get any better?

We had a great time. There was lots of good food and long lazy afternoons in the sun. On Wednesday evening we all donned white shirts and khaki bottoms and headed to Folly Field beach for family photos. Apparently this is very popular because half the people on that beach were dressed like us. I was tempted to casually join another group and see if anyone noticed...

Arabella is a beach veteran, this being her third trip to the island, but for Abbigail it was all brand new. And of course the first thing any self respecting baby does at the beach is sample the local cuisine:


Isn't she beautiful? (the baby of course!)

Abby loves the water. Every time we sat her down, she
would turn tail and head for the open seas. I think if we had
gone out one night when the moon was full and the sea turtles
were hatching, she would have crawled away with them into the
water without looking back...

they were sitting still.
