Vacation Photos
Shadow picture of Mommy and Daughter
“Natural Plum” blossom, they smelled divine!
The boys “sat on the park bench like bookends”
It’s going to take a long time for me to forget this fantastic dinner from the resort restaurant. It was one of the best meals I ever had.
Sunset at the beach and. . . .
sunrise from our balcony.
A kind lady offered to take a family photo for us.
But I took this one:
Just for fun
What is it about pigtails, you just have to twirl ’em?
Our vacation was wonderful. We’re thanking God for a safe and happy trip.
We arrived home this afternoon and fell in love with home all over again–things are finally turning GREEN outside! Also, I went grocery shopping and did a lot of laundry and housework. The manicure and pedicure I got done (at the spa!) on Thursday won’t last long now! 
But, it is good to be home all together again.
Good to be Home

You always have the motr awesome pictures. I am glad you had such a wonderful time and got home safely. Now in a week or two treat yourself to another manicure and pedicure!
Shanda, looks like you and your family had such a fun time together. The skies and beaches were breathtaking. Grace looked so pretty in her sundress and hat. I love the pictures of your family all together and the one with all your feet. What a cute idea. I am happy that you had a safe trip, I prayed for you. I know that you are happy to be back at home too. There is no place like home. I am off tomorrow, so I will try to check in when I can. -Tara
those are great pictures! I love the one of Grace with the sun going down~ Makes me anxious for our little vacation at the beach planned soon~
Great photo album!! Glad to see you had such a great time! Welcome home.
I’m glad you all had a good time. I live an hour from Pensacola Beach but I haven’t been in years. Will definitely have to make some time for that.
BREATHTAKING! Welcome home.
The pictures are so beautiful! It looks like you had a wonderful vacation. I bet David and Caleb were happy to see you all!
I stumbled onto your site through a blog ring we are both subscribed too. I saw you were a Married Christian woman and that you enjoyed photography. ME TOO. Then I come to your site and see you just vacationed in Naples. We vacationed in Naples, FL the first week of Nov last year. We LOVED it. I love the photos on your site. Enjoy being home.
I feel I’ve just been on a vacation too…the sand and water silky and inviting, skin warm from sunlight, laughter.
I think my favorite image is family foot portrait But I like that yellow pail against the blue sea a lot too!
Your photos and layout look like someting I’d see in an expensive vacation magazine…bravo!
Lovely pictures which will for years to come bring back special memories for you all! Glad you are home safely again…~Colleen~
Gorgeous sunrise, great feet and I absolutely LOVE that last shot ~ sort of like a farewell ~

Welcome home. Those pictures are just lovely — I actually felt a little more relaxed after looking at them. I had to laugh when I saw your picture of your dinner, because I do the same thing! (I am really into presentation when I cook and bake, and when I get a really good meal I try and take a picture of it!).
What an absolutely wonderful post!!! The pictures tell the story.
