We took a family vacation to Sanibel Island, FL. back in the summer of 1998 when Abby was a year and a half old and Brittany was six. I think this picture captures the bond they share...I love how they're holding hands! They had so much fun playing together on the beach! Those were some special times that I'll always treasure.

It was Abby's first time to ever be on a beach or see the ocean. She loved to scoop up handfuls of sand and let it sift through her fingers. She'd giggle every time! It was unforgettable to see everything through her eyes. Made me feel like a child all over, again! .jpg)

Adorable girls!!! I love the beach, living by it I best like it, huh?!! But these two photos are priceless. They say a photo speaks a 1000 words, well these two are true to that adage!!!
My Wordful is posted. It gives a whole new meaning to "Hang in There" Have a great Wednesday
Those pictures are adorable!
Like you April, I have some treasured memories of family vacations when my children were small. There really is a wonder in seeing and experiencing it all through their eyes for the first time. And as always, it's hard to believe how time has flown and how big they are now.
Both those photos look like they should be in a magazine! Your girls are so adorable! Always wanted to visit Sanibel....
April, can we say "precious"??? Oh, how cute those girls are! I love these pictures! Nothing like times shared at the beath! Loved this. Thanks for sharing. It started off my morning with a smile...
XO,

Cute pictures! My girls love the beach too. Some of our best memories are visiting the beach in Florida. Luckily, we can hit a Florida beach a few times a year since that is where my parents live. You do have beautiful girls!
I love beach photos, but the one with her squatting down in the sand is absolutely adorable. Happy Wednesday!!
Great pictures April! I was always so excited to watch the kids eyes light up at their first sight of the ocean. They all loved it!
Sweet baby girls!!!
Memories to cherish for sure!
OH..how sweet and fun.

Awwwww those are some sweet pictures. Babies playing on the beach or right in the ocean water are always so much fun to watch. They either LOVE the sand and water or HATE it!
I love our white beaches. (Notice how I "own" them?)
Precious! I have loved our family trips to the beach each time.
For me, as well, some of my most treasured memories - when the kiddos were really young - are at the beach! My dad was a passionate beach lover and arranged a family beach trip each year (which was fantastic when we our budget was so much smaller back then!) and each year was even better than the year before. I hope we can continue that "tradition" with Riley!!
They are to beautiful:)
Wib.
And now I really want summer!
Cute photos and sweet memories☺
Soooo cute!! There truly isn't anything like seeing your kiddos interact and be together!! John and I LOVE to just sit back and watch the boys play! Like your girls, our boys aren't real close in age but that bond is still so strong! Great pics, Great post!
Nice photos - warms me up looking at them, even though we have freezing temps in Michigan!!!
Oh April, those pictures are just precious! I grew up on the beach and those just brought back such precious memories!
Big hugs to you today, my sweet friend!
What a sweet photo! Way sweet!
What sweet pictures April! Your girls are adorable. And what memories!
Have a great day today!
XOXOXO

:) I like the quote at the end.
Sweet memories, indeed!!
Taking my children to the beach is definitely a must on my "TO DO" list.
Have a great day! :)
Precious memories, my friend! What sweet sisters, and little Abby is SO cute! Some of my favorite pictures are of my boy when he was a toddler, with his feet planted in the surf and that great, big ocean stretching out to eternity....
Happy Wednesday!
they are so cute together! ella loves the beach too!
Your girls are very adoreable.
Awww....how precious! I love these! They are sooooooooo cute! We've had some precious memories at the beach too. What fun!
Happy Wednesday ladybug!
The pictures are too cute!
What a beautiful family!! And you sound like you had a ball on that trip...we tried the beach too early in our kids' lives, and paid the price. We'll try again.
Loved your blog,
Jay
AWWW! I love your photos and stories!
Hi April
The pictures are beautiful. They were both so cute. I remember the first time we took Jessica to a beach. She didn't want to sit down on the sand and she kept brushing it off if she got sand on her hands! I am sure she would have liked it more in Florida! Maybe a cold windswept beach in England wasn't much fun!!!
Thanks for asking about Jessica's braces. She is doing fine now. No pain and eating much better.

So precious!!!
Beautiful pictures! I wish I was there! Adorable family! Blessings.
Your girls are gorgeous. Another blogging friend just returned for the same place!
Look at that little attitude that B had!!! That is so cute and both of the girls are adorable!
April, those are THE SWEETEST pictures! I'm with you.. I LOVE the one of them holding hands. It's truly a blessing to see the bond between siblings. (Ours pick at each other all day.. but they sure are CRAZY about each other) ☺
Oh April...these photos should be framed! What a precious family you & Chris have created...;-) Bo
