This year we were grateful for the invitation to the O'Connell Beach Vacation.... it had been 3 years since we had been together as a family for longer than a day or 2.... what a blessing this year that we were all able to be together- THANK YOU, Mom & Dad for giving us such memorable moments that week...
Harper's first time at the airport! She did wonderfully- a pacifier and snuggling with Mommy and Daddy make a plane ride wonderful!
Her first moments on the beach:) She LOVED it- the breeze and the sand between her toes- baby girl was in Heaven :)
Needless to say, after a couple sleepiness nights, occasional throwing up, and just pure yuck we found that our little sweetheart had her first ear infection- times 2! Double ear infections = antibiotic = no sun exposure at all! Nana came to the rescue with a beach umbrella... Harper loved her little cabana :)
My AMAZING parents..... thank you for all you do for all of us- WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
poor thing always had to be pretty covered up when it was 80 degrees outside! She was still in such great spirits!!
My brother, Aaron, and his wonderful girlfriend, Manuela.... THANK YOU for all the wonderful pictures and good times!!!
My sister, Abby, and her boyfriend, Adam.... thank you for all the laughs this week- and Adam, thanks for keeping Pete busy on the beach- he really enjoyed it!
Anna, Manuela, Aaron, me, and Pete
Anna.... it's KILLING me I don't have a pic of you with Harper!!! You were truly AMAZING and a lifesaver with her this week! Thank you for all the bottles, stroller rides, and playdates you had with her that week!! You are her long lost best friend!
Parasailing! It was Pete's first time and he seemed to enjoy it!!
The last sunset of 2011.
Thank you 2011 for all the blessing, growth, and happiness you brought. We look forward to 2012.... filled with good health, family, love, and even more wonderful moments:)!!
