{ By the Sea }


{ What I loved about my weekend on the Cape }














·         Watching my youngest niece explore this unfamiliar environment, and learning to trust the sand beneath her toes, and the water splashing on her face.
·         Seeing my mother, now a grandmother teaching her oldest granddaughter to ride her new bike.  The cycle continues.
·         Dancing in the misty rain with the kids, while feeling like a kid myself.
·         Watching my dad play non-stop with his grandson.  His love overflowing throughout each child.
·         Smiling as she devours Oreo’s, then grabs my hand to head out for a bike ride around the block. 
·         Realizing that life flows on, and goes by so quickly.  Families grow and expand and the love continues.
·         Looking at my sister-in-law, loving those new lives inside her, and feeling so grateful she is my brother’s companion.
·         Learning patience and overwhelming love from my brother and his gentle approach to every situation with his children.
·         Feeling so grateful to be a part of their lives.
·         Watching him soak up every single second of his life.  Through games and laughs and explorations.  He is thoughtful and so sweet, that nephew of mine. 
·         Being near the sea and relaxing completely.

Life is short, and sometimes stressful, but oh so wonderful.

Christmas in Vermont

"In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long & long ago..."
