Day at the Beach

The kids were wonderful last weekend, patiently waiting for me to be done with the work on the Liesl Kerchief pattern, bringing me lunch and dinner and sending me "I love you" notes.

Today was a vacation day, so we went to visit my parents in Rockport. We spent a great day at the beach.

...Little Miss SockPixie enjoying some chips after her swim... Looking quite serious... Maybe she was wondering how she could get back at her siblings for splashing her...


Young Mr SockPixie tired after a lot of snorkling... Looking more grown up every day...


And Little Mr SockPixie, a frozen but happy snorkler! Don't you love the hair!



I got to rest, and hang out with my parents. It was a great day!

How great that you got to spend the day with your parents and children! You have a lovely family. I'm glad you got to rest.

You have the most beautiful children and you create the most wonderful knitting, such lovely spinning...........and to finish it all off, you all seem to be so loving and caring and just darned happy to be with each other. I do know that all of this takes work, commitment and a belief that family is important and has power.
Thank you, Ellen.

When my son was in his early teens, he looked just like little Mr. SockPixie. Same blonde curls hanging down past his shoulders.

Enjoy the rest of your visit!

I love these pictures! They are so beautiful. You captured in each photograph their distinct personalities and beauties.

I love little Mr. Pixie's hair! I had to show the shot to my 7 year old because he has long curly hair as well (only 2 hair cuts so far). Needless to say, he got kick out of it and said, "see, I don't need anymore hair cuts!"
