Did I mention.....

...that we've planted ourselves elsewhere for this week?



And new toes are feeling wet sand for the first time and also feeling the kisses of a dozen cousins, aunts uncles who are meeting those toes for the first time.



Of course we have several experienced grown beach babies too, who know just what to do.



This would be the first ever wave splashed through with Dad.

Here's to thousands more....

sandy hugs and salty kisses from sunny North Litchfield, S.C.
Anna, be home soon
