The Cousins!

Ruby (2), Wylie (6), Ainsley (7), Shaelee (9)







Aunt Bop returned safely home, and Mark, Becky and the kids arrived safely in Mexico.  The girls had so much fun being together again.  What a blessing to see them all happy and building sand castles together.  The three big girls had a slumber party last night, and they are still sleeping.  Her Rubiness on the other hand, decided to awake at 5am.  So, she and I are off to save some prime pool chairs!

Blessings,

Day 4 Favs!





Today was so much fun that both the Pearl & The Ruby crashed on our bed before 7pm!  We were at the beach and pool all day!  Ainsley talked Ruby into trying the water slide with her Dad.  She loved it!!!!!  The squeals started at the top, and never stopped until her Daddy's soft landing in the water...  I think she would still be going up and down if she was awake!!!  
Tomorrow Aunt Bop departs, and Uncle Mark arrives....  The Pearl is so excited to play in Mexico with her cousins.....  Rumor has it there may be a dolphin excursion coming soon...

We look forward to doing it again tomorrow!

Senorita Ruby Mei!


Her Rubiness is loving the sand and the surf!!!!  The biggest giggles came yesterday while she waited for the waves to crash over her feet!

We are now on vacation time, and everyone figured out how to sleep through the night and to wake up at a respectable vacation time!

Blessings from another sunny day in Mexico!

Senorita Pearl!


Have I ever mentioned that The Pearl is an early riser?  At home I usually get up around 5am just so I can have some quiet time before she appears...  Well let's just say she is still on her non-vacation clock.  She appeared at my bedside this morning at 5:15am whispering, the sun is out!!!  :)  It gave me a chance to play with Photoshop on some very fun photos I took of my little model yesterday.  We went down to the beach right before sunset together!  Oh, I am going to have fun with my camera this week!!!!  

Thankfully, a Mom (thanks Tracy) I met at the Easter Egg hunt shared an on-line photography class with me for Photoshop given by Jessica Sprague.  I jumped at the opportunity to finally learn how to edit my photos at my own pace.  I am just starting to play with it, but I love it so far...  So the two photos above are my first attempts in their Camera Raw Editing Mode.  These are two of my favorites from Beach Photo Shoot #1 of the beautiful Pearl.

Jeff and Ainsley are already down at the beach as I post.  Her Rubiness and Aunt Bop are still sleeping!!!!

Time to refill my coffee!!!!!

Blessings from Mexico,

Desperately seeking Vitamin D!

The Pearl & The Ruby
Seaside, FL
October, 2007
(Ruby had only been home for five months when this photo was taken.  It is one of the sister pics I will cherish forever.)

If we did not have a warm weather trip to look forward to, the snow we had this week would have put us over the edge.  We all need some fun in the sun!  Soon we will be enjoying the 90's, the pails and shovels will be out, and the sunscreen will be on.  I look forward to sharing Mexico with the girls.  Jeff and I have traveled to this destination many times together.   Then it was about no agenda, getting a great tan, Scuba Diving and Roberto's Margarita's...  This time it will be about watching the joy on the faces of two very special little girls as they enjoy the sand and surf.  And, let's be honest here.... It will also be about the joy on Jeff & Di's faces when they are enjoying Roberto's Margaritas!!!  Can't wait!

The camera, extra batteries and 4GB Memory cards are packed!!!  Hoping for some great pics of the sisters!!

Adios Amigos!
