Harbor Island Summer 2013 Day 1

 

12 hours after leaving Ohio

we arrive at the gatehouse to check into

our little secret haven for the week

and these flags just made me smile

 

 

I love the great state of South Carolina

the Spanish moss, the palm trees, the dozens of little islands

and I just love their state flag

to pieces

 

 

the first day of our vacation consisted of

arriving and crashing onto the nearest flat surface

in sheer exhaustion

just happy to be in a beautiful place

day 2 was a little more exciting

stay tuned....

fourteen years

Happy 14th Anniversary to us!

Even though everyone told us

we were too young and crazy

I'm so happy we followed our hearts.

 

 

first and last

Hey! We are here. The latest news is Dylan and I just survived 8th grade Algebra. It was touch and go there for a while, but we made it. Sigh* Not without being a little traumatized.

The kids have officially finished another school year. Possibly, the fastest year of our lives to date. Seriously.

Here they are on the their first and last days of School Year 2012-2013.

Karsen, first day of 5th grade Aug 2012



Karsen, last day of 5th grade May 2013

Dylan, first day of 8th grade Aug 2012

Dylan, last day of 8th grad May 2013

This resonates as Karsen all of sudden is going to the 6th grade, and Dylan is officially in high school. *gulp!

some things stay the same

A lot of things have changed since way back when

but some things stay the same.

Evidently, a love for superheroes never grows old.

 

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that heroes and dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten by heroes.”
