wild dunes sneak peek

saturday evening, i headed out to wild dunes for my standing "labor day weekend" appointment with the r family. i've known the mom for a few years, but only get to see her once a year. one of these times, we're going to coordinate it better so that she and i can have some extra time to visit! i am so proud of her and all she has accomplished since i last saw her. she has spent this past (slightly more than a) year working to get healthier and more in shape. and she looks totally different from when i last saw her! i'm so proud of her!

needless to say, i love this family. last year, the younger boy (mister l) didn't much like my camera. but this year, he was so sweet and polite and always willing to interrupt his play for me, even when i wanted him to keep playing and pretend i wasn't there. and his eyes! oh his eyes! he seriously has THE most beautiful eyes that i have ever seen!

mr t is just a joy. he has so much energy and is a truly fun spirit. the picture of him has significance--this boy loved the olympics. so, this is his track and field racing pose! and both boys would race up and down the beach over and over.

just a few...
