A portrait a week of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014'
Soren had his first day of Pre-k today. I couldn't choose between the two of these. One taken at home, the other in front of his school. He was so excited and it shows in each shot. More on his first day in the next post!
I can't say enough about this trip. I was going to wait to post until I put our movie together, but I just couldn't wait. We went down this time for 8 days, cooked 3 meals a day at the apartment rental and spent EVERY morning on the beach, went on afternoon trips through Tybee and Savannah and combed the beach in the evenings for hermit crabs, sea snails, cannonball jelly fish, horseshoe crabs and blue sand crabs. I can't say enough.
Soren was a natural on the waves and killer at building sand castles but more so canals. We ate out twice - once in Savannah at the Distillery where we enjoyed a flight of five local brews and our last evening at the Social on Tybee (of course, great seafood!).
Savannah shares the small-big city finesse with Cincinnati, but you feel the history the minute you pull up to the hanging Spanish moss and Southern drawls. And the sea air - OH! the sea air. Needless to say we will be job hunting until our family ends up in Savannah, just a stones throw from Tybee.
Tybee is one of the cleanest beaches on the Atlantic with nests of sea turtles and natural habitat. The community prides itself on it's affordability, cleanliness and community. This is a family's beach. Every morning we hit the waves only yards from Dolphins - seriously, breathtaking. I highly recommend a week (or two) at Tybee and if you know of any job openings - let us know! We miss you already Tybee!
our last day, Rick took a Kayak out to little Tybee. The pictures he came back with were stunning. Meanwhile - Soren and I snagged a Jet Ski ride with Dolphins and Jelly fish and then caught some waves.

I've passed on my heavy obsession for ice cream on to my son. He has inherited his flavor sense from his Dad - Mint Chocolate Chip.
We miss you already Tybee. Soren told me we were going back to the beach on Friday. Sad face.

Photo Credit to Grandma (Julie VandeDrink). Rick and I have been working 12-14 hour days on LumenoCity and couldn't have done it without my mom. She's been amazing. She snagged these at the pool with the little man. I love this shot, but the outtake cracks me up. Mr. Personality at it again!
