faye is here!

Faye is here and we feel so blessed to have her in our home. Everything during delivery went well and we just can't get over how beautiful she is. I was going to write her birth story, but i'll just post pictures for now. Welcome Faye!

 She loves her pink pants
 On our way home. Looks like she's going to do well on road trips

Just for the Shell of It




Over Labor Day Weekend we made a weekend trip to Fort Myers, Naples, and Sanibel Island. It's only a 1.5 drive away and much less congested than the east coast where we live. We went to the beach, read, and ate good food. It was great and too hot to do anything else. The water was 87 degrees and there were zero waves. As you can see from the map, Sanibel Island is perpendicular to the current so it acts as a shovel in collecting shells.


There are some neat flowers here, like this one.


 The beaches are covered thick in shells as you can see



Our view for most of the trip. There were also dolphins here, but a bit too quick for me to be captured on camera.

Clayton shelling. At least I got one picture with us in it.
