this is "tomorrow"

I've got to stop saying "I'll be back tomorrow," "post more tomorrow," etc... because it never quite seems to happen that way...
;)
Nonetheless, I'm back! So where were we...
Oh yes, vacay pics...
so after my massage we enjoyed the beautiful weather in HHI - luckily the storms never came our way!
little cutie pants, poolside...
oh my heart, his curls...
the foot twins...seriously their feet are IDENTICAL!!!
A little afternoon break from the sun...
"it's tough being me, ya know?!?"
:)
Then back to the action we went...
family picture!!!
late lunch poolside
(just 'cause they're cute.)
 Before dinner...with mommy!
And relaxing after dinner with Daddy!
Running around the resort after dinner!

Just brace yourself...because I'm about to totally overwhelm you with pics...why not finish all of these up so we can catch up on everything else in life?!?
 Again, little man loved the water!
no fear, my friends!
 He loves to point at people and things...
SO fun!
Our room was top left corner!
He decided to taste the sand.
yuck!
making friends on the beach
 Mills met the sweetest kids from Virginia...they looked for him every day and were precious!
Hayden, Kate, and Mills
{yes, for clarification, the one on the left is a boy...he just had long hair. I watched from afar as Nicholas accidentally called him a boy in front of his dad the first day...embarrassing!}

Mills loved his beach buddies!
We hung around until Sunday afternoon, then headed back to Charleston. We had hoped to head up to NMB, but all of the houses were rented for spring break. UNTIL, Nicholas' mom called and said that the renters in one of the houses got kicked out within a few hours of checking in! {it was a bunch of teenagers having a house party, and they only rent to families}
Stinks for them.
Awesome for us.

So we stopped through Charleston, grabbed more clothes, and headed farther north to the beach again! :)

Lulu came to stay for a night!
It was an up and down week...we had so much fun at the beach, but Tuesday we found out that my sister-in-law, Jennifer, lost her baby (she was 10.5 weeks pregnant) and we were just heartbroken. Wednesday we also drove to Dillon for the funeral of a sweet lady who helped keep Nicholas and his sisters growing up. 
BUT, my other sister-in-law, Kelley, found out that she got in to DNP {nurse practitioner school} at MUSC, and her fiance, Adam, had a job interview on Thursday and got the job! So with the bad came the good, too! 
And we know that in everything, God works in miraculous ways, and for the good of those who love him!
And back at the beach, Millsy was loving life!
Running - not walking - to the ocean!
 our attempt at a family picture, ha!
my precious boys!
Waving to mom! :)
 really...who can resist baby feet?
toes in the sand
Morning coffee, with a gorgeous view. We're so thankful to be able to head here anytime!
"What??? We can't stay at the beach another week???"
