Maine

Well we got back last night from an amazing week in Kennebunkport. There are many great moments from our trip but I think what we valued most was the time that we were able to spend with our family. In our day to day lives, we often miss those simple yet beautiful moments and being away from it all, we were able to soak it all in. I loved being able to walk to beaches and find "treasures" with Isabella. It was so special to watch Vinny delight in the water splashing at his feet- he must have said "Wah-wah" at least a million and one times. I relished being away from all "technology" and just "being" with my husband. It was so good to watch my mother and Vinny bond over the past few days and brought tears to my eyes when at last she had to load him into the car to go home. I loved laughing with my brothers over all the trips we took as kids and enjoyed getting to know the special women that they have brought into their lives. And I value so much the talks that I had with my father, ones that he was never able to have with his.

You are never promised any day but today and that is something that really hit me on our way home. I hope that we have many more times like these together as a family but I know that if we don't that I couldn't have asked for better memories.

I love you, guys!
