{Mustang Island. Prt 7}

& this wraps it up.  The time we had on Mustang Island & at the Addison Bailey house have made for some unforgetful moments. I will always remember the boys falling asleep on the same couch while watching christmas movies (2 days after halloween). I will remember pancakes in the morning & the way presley smelled of syrup. I will remember  butterflies migrating to Mexico, sandy children & windblown hair.  I won't forget feeding the children Ice cream for dinner, dance parties & evening chats with my Mom & Rod.  I will not forget the kindness of our neighbors & their friends. 

Now to pay it forward. 

-the end-

{Mustang Island. Prt. 6}

I love catching moments of the children interacting. Tre looking after Cooper, Maddox laughing at Britton's jokes. I mean it when I say that everyday I pray that the children will be close. That they will depend on one another & love one another. That when one needs advice they will call the other, when they have good news they will be eager to share it with each other. Family is everything to us. (part 7 to follow. yup. 7.)

I could not put the camera down all weekend. Obviously.

After our dinner out we went for a walk on the board walk next to the house to look at the migrating butterflies. The children climbed the tower & pretended Presley was their princess & they had to protect her. She liked that. The air was perfect & the sun was warm. The wind from the day before had died off. Presley stuck by her Omah's side & pointed out flowers. The gaps between the planks scared her and she walked cautiously. As I am working on these pictures I am thinking how lucky My brother & his family are to have my parents heading that way for Thanksgiving. Every special occasion or holiday just seems twice as sweet when my parents are there to share it. My Dad is is Canada freezing to death for work right now, and the kids keep asking if he is coming after work. 

If only. Sorry little Ss! (part 5 coming soon) 

Time with this one needs to slow the heck down. He will be 9 in a month & that just freaks me out! 

 Presley loves loves loves her Daddy. she plays hard to get with him. She is a comedian.
