As a final vacation before the baby gets here I spent a week at the beach with my family.

We built puzzles ( 4 of them )…

Walked the beach collecting sharks teeth ( 1,000+ between my mom and I ), shells, starfish, sea urchins or whatever else happened to wash up on the beach…

Then cooled off in the pool after a long, hot walk up and down the beach…

Originally Braden planned to join us for the entire week, but was only able to make it out there for a few days at the end of the week. While he was home he started painting the baby room! So excited…!
