thanksgiving was so fun. love seeing the family, as always. i think i grew a size in the waste... oh the holidays. i always tell myself i'll join a gym or start running regularly but never seem to find the time. who has the time for those things anyway! this year, I WILL WORK OUT DURING AND AFTER the holidays this year... maybe i'll try one of those home workout dvds.
anyway, the other day we ventured up to the beach. i love the beach in the winter. okay, maybe not as much as i love the beach in the summer.... but it's so quiet and peaceful in the winter. both jake and i grew up at the beach (not the same ones) but it was part of everyday life. while we still get our beach days in in the summer, i miss the beach being just a short walk away in the off months. i don't care what they say on tv, i love the jersey shore! (not the tv show... though i do find it a bit entertaining) . i love bundling the kids up in warm clothes... layers and layers and layers. ava is my stripes girl. she loves stripes (she probably gets it from me). i think every time i go shopping i end up with a striped shirt or sweater in my arms at check out. Gap has my favorite leggings for the girls... i guess pretty much my favorite everything. especially the baby section. they're stuff is so simple, classy and ADORABLE at the same time. okay back to the beach... it was so fun. what a great day with the family. trey and ava ran around for a few hours. something about frolicking in the sand... they just can't get enough. ruby isn't walking yet; quite the crawler but no steps. i think she'll be walking soon and definitely before next summer. she crawled around until she could crawl no more... probably (definitely) swallowed several handfuls of sand along the way which we saw in her you know what a day or two later (tmi) ahhh the life of a baby. a little sand never hurt no one! all 3 fell asleep 5 minutes after getting in the car. who knew the peaceful serenity i appreciate at the beach would be such a little workout for the kiddies. we definitely plan to do this more often. so long!
