Beach bunny

Cold weather, be gone! Graham showed his affection for warm-weathered beach frolicking earlier this month while visiting Oma (Alisa's mom) and Coco (Val's husband) in sunny F-L-A. We also had a lovely visit with Graham's Great-Grandpa Buzz. We miss you!

FL Fun

We spent 6 nights in FL to ring in the first week of February. It goes without saying what a welcome escape it was from the long winter. The three of us rented a small beach cottage on Longboat Key, taking beach walks, enjoying nighttime bonfires, buying and grilling local fish, but mostly just enjoying uninterrupted togetherness. It was cold in FL (honestly), but it didn't matter. We were together and we had a blast.

Graham also went swimming for the first time, which he loved. Thank you to our cottage's neighbors, two almost-parents who were our age, invited us over for wine, and generously allowed us to swim in their heated pool. Graham played with, and of course ate, sand for the first time, too. Ick. Here are some pics of our trip, with the full album here.
