the last day.

wow, was this day EVER filled with emotion! i mean, we both started crying the night before.

but before we left, Leslie was in the kitchen and i went to the living room to get the babies.

i think one of them was upset. i can't remember. but what i do know is that i had them both

side by side in my lap and i was just completely overcome with emotion.

i started crying and almost just couldn't quit.

i think we both cried off and on all day.

but it was a beautiful time together.

anyways, so we decided to head to another beach for my last day.

this one had NO one and i do believe my favorite part of beaching is the hunting for sea glass

and other little treasures. i brought the boys home a bunch, as well as some shells

and a couple small pieces of legit driftwood.

we had her older two kids with us and they are all just amazing little humans.

i love her kids so much. 

these clouds, i had to *try* and capture how low they were, but i'm not sure i really succeeded.

there's something truly amazing about seeing her holding my little baby.

Leslie, you are so gorgeous. I love you to pieces. You are soothing to my soul.

Thank you for letting me come and visit again.

I'm so glad we made this a mandatory tradition!! Even with wee little babies.

I think that makes it even better!

i can't wait to go back again.
