I Told Bryce I Wanted Him To Build A Coast For Our House

So we could:

watch for whales

hunt for crabs

scavenge for seashells

fill buckets with water

build sand castles

go barefoot always

get dirty

and sunburnt

fill our pockets with rocks

and be utterly content.

And this guy turned four.

His mother may or may not have forgotten that she threw away the well used birthday candles and was pretty sure she’d remember to replace them in time, but obviously didn’t.

Ah well.

I’ve been reading up a lot on taking better photos and making my camera work better for me, so hopefully there will be some improvement.

Any tips are welcome.

Hope your weekend is lovely,

Katie

  5. The pictures look great! And make me wish I was in Oregon instead of Turkey... The Oregon Coast is fantastic. I totally thought that was you in the first picture at first glance. How the heck did Elizabeth get so big?!? Also, that picture of Spencer jumping - it would be weird for me to have a print of that hanging up in my house, right? ; ) It's just the best. I'm totally using huge birthday candles on Caleb's birthday cake. Happy oversight for sure.
