The Week in Pictures

4th of July swimsuits!

Headed to the Beach

Not so sure about this.

It doesn't get any better than this!

Cuddles with JaJa

Jessie! - we found this at the outlets!

Aubrey's way to enjoy the kiddie pool- half in/half out

Get Away From It All

Stephen's cousin Samantha got married on Saturday at Ocean Isle Beach.  We were able to get away for a long weekend and enjoy the beach.    We didn't get to go to the yearly beach trip this summer because Aubrey was born the week prior.  It was so wonderful to catch up with everyone and introduce Aubrey to so many of her family members.

Beach Ready

Lily Kate loved the sand and the water

Walking with Pa

The best seat at the wedding- Stephen and Aubrey stayed up in the beach house since we thought the heat/sun might be too much for her.  Aubrey loved hanging out with her daddy.

The wedding took place on the beach, the reception was held around the beach house pool.

I LOVE this shot!

Aunt Rachie was a bridesmaid.
This shot is special because Lily Kate wore this dress to Rachel's wedding
and we have a  similar shot of the two of them!  

This mini vacation was such a treat.  We got to eat yummy seafood, go crab hunting (LK named the one crab we found "Mr. Crab", hang out with family, eat ice cream (LK had to have chocolate) and just enjoy being a family.

Sand Between Your Toes

Can I just say, I love the beach. There is just something about the sound of the crashing waves that is so relaxing. I look forward to the Renfrow week at the beach every summer. We had an uninvited guest this week -a stomach bug! It lasted for about 24 hours an it spread like wildfire. Both Stephen and Lily Kate were "infected." I am still waiting for my turn. Hopefully it won't come.

Despite the illness we were still able to have lots of fun. Lily Kate wasn't so sure about the waves, but she loved the sand.

Lily Kate loved all her cousins. Here she is with Ella Wallace (L) and Kyelie (R).

She was also surprisingly entertained by a water bottle for almost an hour one day. It is the simple things in life.
