Celebrating with a Sunset Picnic

Friday ended a long 4 week period of Brad being gone all week. For emphasis, I will repeat - it was a long 4 weeks. He was home on the weekends - but it was still tough. When we first got married, he traveled Monday through Friday. But he stopped that schedule after W was born. I didn't realize what an impact his extended absence would have on our family dynamics.
So when he got home this passed Friday evening, we decided to do something special as a family. We loaded up the car, picked up our favorite Italian entrees, and headed to the beach for a sunset picnic.
It was so nice. The weather was beautiful. The sunset was incredible. We all had a great time.

For those of you not currently enjoying the beautiful Florida low humidity & 80 degree weather, you might want to prepare yourselves for some jealousy and envy. We are having beautiful weather right now & these pictures reflect that.

William kept telling me 'push me higher'. If his smile is any indicator, I'd say he liked it.
