Sam’s First Vacation, Part 5

Posted By on July 29, 2010

On this morning walk, Krista came with us, so we were able to get these very cute group shots.  It’s hard to believe that approximately 4 minutes later Sam was sound asleep, but she always fell asleep so quickly.

We were able to get some cute family pictures with her grandparents.  All that was missing was her Poppy, Joe.  We missed you!

This is one of my favorite pictures. It is exactly what I always wanted, my beach vacation with my hubby and my baby.

Maddox had made a friend with a little girl on the beach, and her father was kind enough to take a picture of all of us.  I think you can tell how happy we all were!

That night, Mark wanted to try to take some pictures on one of the decks on the back of the house, with the sun setting in the background.  We were hoping to get some really nice family pictures, so he packed a “travel” studio withe some light stands, some umbrellas and some flashes. I think these pictures are better than any of those professional beach photos they are always advertising at the shore.  Everyone is much more natural and happy.

Grandmom and Sam…I am really glad that this year my mom was able to come with us to share in Sam’s first time at the beach. It made it even more special for me, and for Sam.

Me and my little one.  I still can’t belive how lucky I am, and I think it shows on my face.

This photos cracks me up. It looks like Sam is saying, “Here is my mommy, and here is my daddy.”

Sam is always gazing at Rich with an expression that I can’t even describe.  It is so cute.  I think it is because he is so tall that she doesn’t know quite what to make of someone so much bigger than her. She does love being with him though, that is for sure.

Sandi was putting Maddox to bed since Krista and Adam were out, and we didn’t think she’d be able to come up. We were so lucky that just as we were finishing up, she came out to see what we were doing.  The sun had almost finished setting, and it was getting late, again, but Sam was still full of smiles and happy.
