Turks and Caicos

The first week of March, we packed our bags and bathing suits and made our way down to the Caribbean. The excuse had something to do with celebrating birthdays but the experience was really all about spending time together with family.

Latham's feet hadn't touched the beach since she was just a one year old last summer. Initially she was a little skeptical but quickly realized the bounty of fun to be had in the sand.

The house we rented was footsteps from the most beautiful beach. The sand was white, white, white and the water was the lightest blue. Best of all, there were no waves and the girls could walk out at least 50 feet with the water only reaching their waists.

In case you were wondering, Ken and his ladies travel with us. No telling what nonsense they would get into if we left them unattended at home.

The girls spent equal time making cookies out of sand, building castles for their barbies, making new friends with our neighbors and swimming in the ocean and pool.

I sure hope Ken put on some suncreen!

These girls hung tight all week long.

If I could only jump into pictures....

Anybody out there?

Well, we are still here. Honestly we have just been busy living life with three little ones.

Somehow February passed us by - but not without great fun by everyone. The highlight of the month had to be our trip to Beech Mountain. It's certainly not Colorado or Utah but it is only a 5 1/2 hour drive from Atlanta. And with little ones, that makes the trade off well worth it.

We were fortunate that it snowed 4-6 inches while we were there. So - while that added to the skiing conditions - more importantly, it afforded the children a chance to really play in the snow at our rented house and even make a snow man!

Tomorrow we are off to the beach. From snow to sand - it doesn't get much better!
