sea...almost 6

i'm on a blogging roll...not much to say, but the motivation is there which is a nice change! so i'm taking time i don't have (should be sleeping in, or cleaning bathrooms before the children awake or something more productive and important to get ready for sea's party this weekend)...a friend just invited us to join her shutterfly picture sharing site and it prompted me to add a profile pic...so i chose this top one...even though it is 5 years old (sea is just over 1), it seems representative of us with our tan, sun, beach background...and my "babies" will always feel this young to me...so of course i felt i had to blog about the photo (or series of photos)...so here are a few more from that early september, 2006 day at coronado beach...

i look a little sad here, but it also looks real...how i really felt instead of trying to put on a fake smile, so i appreciate the integrity there...
i like this full-length shot so you can see how small sea was...
and this one is cute because it looks like she is holding up her hand to say she is "FIVE!" but she was probably just waving...
this is probably the saddest looking photo of me...my dad had passed away 3 months earlier and the beach always reminded me of him...it was a love that we shared...i put this photo in anyway because i can tell it is coronado and it is part of our history and daily life...
off to be productive! i'll make time to blog about sea turning 6 and memories leading up to that and details about her now sometime before her party sunday...she turns 6 tomorrow!
