At the Beach

We truly had the most wonderful time at the beach.  A week of brillant sunshine and dry air, a full moon rising over the ocean, amazing boogie boarding (my wife is a tireless and most graceful wave rider), a daily walk along a sandy road to Duck Pond where Reboo and I swam and swam while Gracie and my parents played in the shallows, the beloved Cape smells of salty air and pine trees warming in the sun. 

Now we are home, my parents are back in Colorado, Reboo is back in Philly.  Grace has been the first child to arrive at school every morning out of sheer excitement to be with her friends again.  I am (finally) feeling better.  Gracie spends much of her time picking up leaves for her collection (a pile in the bottom of Summer’s stroller) and we’re headed to an apple orchard later this week.  It was 80 degrees yesterday, but a cold front is expected to blow in tonight.  This summer of sun and water, peaches and peanut butter toast, birthdays and baby-making, is just about over. 

To friends and family who have been asking for photos of Gracie’s and our faces, just write me an email or make a comment and I will send you my flickr link.
