A portrait of my daughters every week in 2017

We lucked out and got a late summer/early fall heat wave so I decided the kids needed one last beach day.  It was such a good decision.  I’ve never seen the water so clear at our beach, and they both loved it.

Big: has found loads of confidence at the beach lately, which makes me immensely happy considering how unsure of herself she is in other scenarios.

Little: loved raking her hands through the sand over and over again.  It was even relatively easy to keep her from eating every single handful she picked up.  Although I am fairly certain a few tiny pebbles made their way down.
