We've been home for almost a week from our trip North, and I feel like I'm still trying to process it. The fact that we're in full pack mode doesn't help. It was a beautiful trip. Full of early mornings, sun, beaches and family. I feel like I learned a lot.

I just finished the photos I took (there are so many!) and I feel so grateful for these photos. I often find it hard to live in the moment because I'm stressing over one thing or another. Sometimes I can let go and take it all in and those moments are precious. Photos allow me to go back, remember and savor. Looking back at this trip is bittersweet. So much fun playing with family and being outdoors. And now we're back to our completely urban life with no nearby family. And we have two little girls who really miss their family. Holly is old enough to begin to understand and she is sensitive about it. It's heartbreaking. 

So while I still process and sort and cherish, here are two photos of my beauties on the beach. To me, Holly and Greta are the most gorgeous creatures on this earth and I'm still in awe that my body created them. They are beautiful on the inside and the outside. And I adore them.
