A hot spring day

...found us at a popular west coast beach a few hours from our side of the state.

To say that J thoroughly enjoyed the sand would be an understatement...and, apparently, it tastes good too. First she dug her hands into the sand, repeatedly scooping up, clenching, and unclenching handfuls of the powdery goodness. She soon found a shell, gnawed on it and got a nice amount of sand in her mouth. The funniest thing was how she licked the sand from her palms after we took the shell away...yum, good.

I think the best part of this crazy ride is seeing new experiences through her eyes and how she interacts with the world around her.

Sometimes I wonder if we should even try to have another baby. How can I possibly love a second child as much as I love this one? I know it's possible but it just seems impossible to me...and for me.
