The Newest Member

This is our ninth summer in ten years vacationing in Buxton, North Carolina. There is only one word to describe it - serene.
Each year we look forward to long days on the beach with no set schedule or demands. This is the second year that Steve's family all traveled to this sleepy little beach town for a family reunion of sorts.
Our newest member to the clan is little A.J. - Steve's niece Alicia's adorable son. This little fella is something special...now I know I am a baby lover, but something about this guy is irresistible. He loves everyone and is always smiling and happy. It has been fun being around a baby again, but it's also brought back memories of exactly how much work it is and how exhausting it can be.
How in the world we all survive it I'll never know...I think it's the hopes and dreams we have for our kids that makes us do whatever we can to make life happy for them...any now, being a parent myself for the past 22 years do I realize the lengths my parents went for me with that same goal in mind.
