The first weekend after we got to Maryland, I took the kids to see the ocean for the first time. I think they liked it. (Ocean City…)
Before. Still dry.
So much of her personality in one photo.
Sweetest soul I know. But if his friends ask, he's a total badass. (See, honey? Mama's lookin' out for you.)
Surfboard optional.
Dear Ocean, We'll be back.

Totally awesome . . . there’s nothing like the ocean to wash away the cares, even if for just a little while.
That face belongs on a Kellogg’s Corn Flakes box .. what fabulous freckles .. and I love that they are loving the ocean .. now bring them up to NYC to the museums … we’re only a few hours away by train
Lovely. I wish much happiness and joy to all of you. The ocean is very healing. Even in the winter.
Something about the ocean just makes you feel really ALIVE.
This was awesome, thanks for sharing!!!!!
They sure look happy. But, now I’m sad, because I miss the ocean so much! How far are you from Ocean City? I love it there.
Wonderful photos!
your children are beautiful. and, yes, happy.
Girl looks EXACTLY like you in that first photo. I miss you guys already. I am just so in love with you and your kids. Happy looks good on them.

What fun! Love your badass kid’s freckled face.
Beautiful!
Adorable kids and they look REALLY happy!!!
Excellent! Love the good times after not so good. Wishing you more of these.
Such fun and joie de vivre!
Your second sentence had me reeling for a moment. It’s hard for a Cali girl to imagine.
Love these pictures! So happy for you! Excited to hear more about your new adventures.
Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude!
Your son’s picture took my breath away. And your daughter? I want to have a campfire and hear her laugh. Beautiful!
Gorgeous photos! I miss the sea. No matter how pretty lakes are here… it’s just not the same.

We finally got to see your kids. Beautiful photos. I love the ocean.
I’ve never been to the ocean. And dammit, that makes me mad . . .
I love the happiness in these shots. Hope you are settling in, settling down and feeling at peace.
Isn’t the ocean magic, especially through their eyes? What fun.
They look so joyous. I’m happy everything is going well for you all.
I can feel the ocean breeze. Kids and ocean beaches just go together. And that face full of freckles? The CUTEST!
Sweet pictures.
Also? I would kill to have your daughter’s hair.
Happy is right. Your kids look so content.
Yay! I love this!
Hi Jennifer
You may know that David McMahon of Authorblog has passed his Sunday Roast column on to me since his departure from blog land. I am highly honoured and love the job.
I spoke to him recently and he recoomended I asked you if you would be interested in featuring in the Sunday Roast.
I would be honoured if you agreed – I have seen you around blogland and note you were a frequent POTD winner.
Please email me on
thesundayroasting@googlemail.com
If you are interested I’ll list all the bits and peices required.
I have done 4 roasts so far which you can see at my place and I have done a full list of all previous and current roasts with the hyperlinks included. That was some job but people can see back issues easily now.
Best wishes ~ Eddie
They were made for the water. The pictures captured happiness.
