well-timed...

Ahhh.  Vacation.  A very well-timed getaway indeed, especially with the state of things around our house.  We desperately needed a break from the construction.  I don't even want to think at what's awaiting me when I get home...


Fortunately our anniversary (13 years!) and my birthday fell at just the right time for our own family vacation in Hilton Head, SC.




It's been such a fun, restful vacation.  Relaxing on the beach...


riding waves...


playing card games...


running through fountains...


climbing trees...


(and a few "4-year-old-moments" in between)  :)

Nevertheless, it's been great.


And for the last two days, Tim and Sarah drove up from Florida to stay with us!  (they used to help out with our RUF in Lynchburg before they moved to Orlando, Florida last year... they were/are some of Caroline's favorite people in the world!)


This gal's having a blast having a beach, a pool, and a hot tub.


And this gal's having a blast having a kitchen again.
