My family all live within minutes of the beach. It's really nice to chill out next to the water at the end of the day. Even though I'm much more a mountain gal, the beach has its charm.
McDonalds chicken McNuggets are AOK at grandmas, but don't get too used to it Natey.
I don't know many people who don't like digging their feet into the sand, do you?
Andrew was way too busy to look at the "big black box."
This little dude makes me grin from ear to ear! The light was fading FAST, so all of these pics have different colors and settings-oh, how I love a LCD screen.
They are getting soooo big. I just wanna squeeze N. His smile is so wonderful. Im with them I love the beach.

I love these, Heather! My favorite part of the beach was the pictures I brought home. There's nothing like a white sand platform with an ocean backdrop!

Nate sure does enjoy life, doesn't he? I just love that whole-face grin of his. I love how Andrew is so engrossed in his play too.

I miss the beach. That's one good thing about the navy though, at least you're never far from the water. What fun!

Posted by: amy | January 04, 2009 at 06:56 PM
Darling photos Heather! I love how you're able to just get in there and capture the pics you want with your kids! Nate is growing so darned FAST!
Also, thanks so much for your CC. I am so disappointed in the photos I got. You know how when you have something in your mind that you want? These So don't resemble them at ALL. Oh well, they're only pictures ;)
Posted by: Lauren | January 04, 2009 at 06:59 PM
They are both so adorable, but I love Nate's bald little head!
Posted by: Amy | January 04, 2009 at 07:11 PM
Love the beach! It's always fun to take pictures there, isn't it? I can't believe how big your boys are getting! Just as adorable as can be!
Posted by: Margaret | January 04, 2009 at 08:03 PM
Beautiful Heather! Your boys just make me smile :)
Posted by: Tracie | January 04, 2009 at 08:18 PM
First, I am so jealous that you were at a beach!
Second, the 3rd photo is so wonderful! Great composition!

I am so jealous that you were able to go to the beach. I love my feet in the sand. One of my favorite things in the world
