home again

We had a lovely week swimming in the ocean and playing in the sand, going to the pool, playing mini golf and riding on the carousel at the boardwalk. 

(Stella flat out refused to get off her horse so we stayed on the the carousel for a long, long time.  I think she rode six times in total before she agreed to get down.)

Roxanne spent many hours by herself at grandma's house.  Charlie and I took my sister out for Maryland crab's. We spent a week away from the computer for the first time in over a year.  But, I'm glad to be home sleeping in my own bed and I missed my desk and all my art materials. It's good to be back.
