First Beach Memories

The one place Stevie and I have always escaped to is the coast. Annually celebrating the calendar’s official start of summer as well as our June 24th wedding anniversary we have always taken this very important excursion. These three babies haven’t changed our feelings of the sand and surf. The last baby did however change our travel dates as she was born on the first day of summer.

I am taking a trip down memory lane to Jackson’s, Abigail’s, first beach memories before posting Isabela’s new experiences.

Jackson loved walking across the flat sand! Hard to believe his sister Abigail will join him in a few months, June 2008

Isabela’s First Grape Harvest

The best place to be on a hot summer harvest day is relaxing in a stroller!

At nine weeks old, this is Isabela’s first harvest. She enjoyed the fast pace of us picking.

First Harvest Memories

Our annual day of harvest has been a huge part of our year since our first in 2003. Many things to coordinate and juggle without little ones, add the little ones, wow what an experience! We have always included them in this part of our work

Since the vineyard is pretty much the center of our life, I am looking back to their first harvest moments.
