Ok, here I am

We arrived home from St. Thomas late Monday night, got about 4 minutes of sleep since D was all messed up and ended up in our bed again, and then I went to bed at 8:30 last night. Suitcases and carry-ons remain unpacked, and the clothes I wore on the flights home are even still strewn on our bedroom floor.

Yes, I’m tired.

So I apologize for the severe lack of posting lately. Granted I was on vacation for about 9 days, but I know I’ve missed a monthly D update post and I owe you pictures. Don’t worry, there are LOTS of pictures coming. I just have to wade through them all to pick the best gems for you.

But in the meantime, here’s a teaser. This is my youngest sister on the boat we took to the British Virgin Islands one day during our trip. Look at the color of that water!! This photo is not edited or retouched in any way. That place is just that naturally and stunningly beautiful.

 

How I long to be back on those beaches with that water tickling my toes…

Picture me rollin’

Right onto one of those beach chairs and not moving for about the next week and a half.

That’s right – we’re going on vacation!! To St. Thomas this time, with the same group of family with whom we went to Hawaii, plus my sister who couldn’t make that trip. So it’ll be fun.

And I hope more than anything that some good warm sun will burn these haunting germs right out of us once and for all.

So I’ll be gone for awhile, but I promise to bring back loads of pictures and a nice tan for you. See you later, mon!

Hippity-hoppity

Easter’s on its way! And I’m so excited to fill an Easter basket and help the Easter Bunny set up an egg hunt for D this year, since she’ll be able to do it on her own this time. Last year she was too little and had to help Daddy hunt for his eggs. But this year it’ll be all her.

My mom got her a ridiculously cute bunny coat last Easter, and it still just fits for this one. The sleeves are getting a little too short, but we had to wear it this week to celebrate. It’s luxuriously soft and furry, with a pink satin lining, bunny ears, and a little cotton ball-esque bunny tail on the back hem. Get out of here!

Here she is modeling and showing yet again what a difference a year makes… (please pardon the crappy phone picture from this year, but she now insists on being able to see herself when you take her picture)
