Our Florida Getaway

Thaddeus expressing our feelings of being together for four days without a pager going off

In my element...sun, sand, camera, and knowing it is winter elsewhere

No sunblock on this kid, but he did sport mommy's sun hat quite nicely

Our little Huck Finn

(Notice the stick in the mouth)

I just liked the layering of subjects in this photo, so I had to post it.

The kids in the background are the niece and nephew of a friend of ours in Michigan

A highlight of the trip was the adventure of putt putt golf with a very excited 16 month old

Thaddeus could hardly control his excitement to hit the ball, run after it, hit it again, or pick it up and drop it in the hole

What makes a little boy, or man for that matter, happy...

A stick

A ball

and a hole

a lesson in golf putting

Family on Vacation

Another day at the beach

Thaddeus loved the feel of the waves and sand

Can't let go of his hands yet, as we still have to teach him about "healthy" fear

Awaiting the next wave to envelop our feet

Beach combing with Mommy

Yoga at the beach

Downward Dog...or "downward puppy" as they call it at gymboree's baby yoga class

Always a proud dad

Being picked up out of a wave

Our last evening we stopped by the beach one last time at sunset and got a nice show from these surfers

Reading the waves

Hitting the sweet spot

catching air

Riding it back in

Soft curl in evening light
