A couple weeks ago we spent some time at the beach with Joe’s family. We ate well {North Beach Grill, Crab Shack, Sundae Cafe, and AJ’s} and had a good time. Other than a run into town one day for a doctor’s appointment, we stayed on Tybee, enjoying the sun and family time.
{Note: Joseph had a visit with the cardiologist. After an EKG and an echo, and a very close listening-to of Joseph’s heart, we were very happy to hear that Joseph’s VSD (ventricular septal defect, or hole in his heart) had closed up!}
Every day we watched the sunrise. Every. Day. Our bedroom balcony had an unobstructed view of the ocean. Our second morning, as Hannah woke us up at 6 a.m. sharp, I scooped her up (and my camera) and headed down to the sand.
If you squint, you can see Joe and Joseph on the balcony watching too…
Unfortunately, Joseph did not enjoy the beach as he had a couple months ago in St. Simons (think it was overcast while we were there). I think it had more to do with the brightness than the sun or heat. He would bury his head in my chest and want to be held most of the time. This one morning he was happy feeding Daddy sandy cheerios.
Hannah spent hours playing in the sand. Both kids preferred the water of the pool over the water of the ocean.
My good friend, Beth, and her family came down to the beach to see us. I don’t get to see her very much as she lives in Kentucky. It was great seeing her and those cute twins.
Our last night, dinner at AJ’s. I am sad to say we were together almost a whole week and did not take a single group picture of the whole Buck family. How did that happen?
