I haven't lived on my little island in more than 15 years, so I anticipate I'll feel like a foreigner again at the beginning... maybe not, though. I visited the island a few days ago, and I felt like I was finally home. I can not wait to start a new life there. Everytime I thought about where I wanted my kids to grow up, the only place I could imagine was Vashon Island. I have so many beautiful memories from my childhood, and I still have the same best friends I had from when I was eight. I want so badly for my children to get a dose of that wonder as well.
This second picture is my daughter (right) with my best friend's daughter (from when I was eight!) and my sister in la-la's daughter. (She's not really my sister-in-law. She's my best friend's sister-in-law, but we refer to each other as sister in la-las... we might as well be related!) I thought this photo really captured the beginning of what is sure to be a very long, beautiful friendship.
Please make sure to go visit Shauna, Sudbury Photographer, from Simply Shauna Photography. She's been on fire lately!

Love this picture of the 3 little ones...I have similar shots of my girls with daughters of very old friends...so great to capture them together at this age!
Lovely images! How exciting to be where you want to be, congrats on your new beginning!!
I have been so home sick lately. Your blog is certainly not helping. I so wish my kids could have the wonder of growing up on a farm near the beach...Someday perhaps.
What a gorgeous place to live. Congratulations! :)
