Happy First Birthday, Matthew!

It's hard to believe that one year ago, my one and only nephew was born! It's even harder to believe that I never shared his newborn portraits on the blog.  Since I can't be with him to celebrate today, here are those portraits, one year later.

Happy Birthday, Matty Moo!  You have brought endless joy into our lives.  I love you,  muffin!

Florida: All is full of love

La piece de resistance... how can you not love a view like this? There's hundreds of different things that I love about Florida, but I think this sums it up. Being on the beach, you can feel your senses in action.

Take in the sight of the ocean... flip flops... blue water & white sand... Smell the salt water, the sunscreen, the people barbecuing in the distance... Hear the rolling sound of the waves ... Feel the mist, the sand beneath your feet. Taste the salt on your lips after swimming in the ocean. Honestly, nothing can quite compare to the beach, and Clearwater Beach just happens to be my favourite beach that I've ever been to.

more love?
