Relaxed.

Today, although I had some very sad moments, I realized at some point that I was really and truly relaxed for the first time in a very, very long time.

It was a Good Day to be on Pawley’s Island.

  1. i can't get over how much cousin N looks like henry. it's uncanny.
    i hope you're having a fantastic time with your family! as a southerner (north al!) who grew up with her cousins, i know how wonderful that close "extended" family can be.

  2. So glad to hear you are getting to relax a little :) Great pictures of a fantastic family, everyone looks like they are having a good time. Love the picture with all of the kids in front of the Henry in the sand. It's got to be hard on all of you, I am so glad for you that you have such a close knit family.

  3. Just want to say I was listening to "Waiting for Superman" by Iron and Wine whilst looking at these pictures and it was, well, perfect. I hope you're enjoying your vacation. I know I wish I was there! So much ocean and so much love.

  4. I know that you have suffered a huge loss – but wanted to say to you that you have a lovely family – you are very lucky.

  5. beautiful photos Katie, and darn if you aren't making me wish we were at the beach. We visited Charleston 2 years ago, and fell in love with the beach and the city. Enjoy your stay and the relaxation.

  6. I love that first picture because it is so obvious how much C loves her sister J. I also love the fact that J has on a Memphis Tigers shirt! Yes, I'm a Memphian! Born and raised and will probably never leave no matter how crazy it gets. :)

  7. If anybody deserves to take a full breath in and let it all the way out wihtout it hurting, it's you. Those pictures radiate the kind of beauty that comes with true love and joy.

  8. Beautiful, all of it. Your entire family looks straight out of a magazine shoot! And what a marvelous place to play together. You're all creating amazing lifetime memories.

    I can't imagine how hard it must be for you, missing Henry. But if he's anywhere, it's there, watching over all of the people he loved most.

  9. I echo all the wonderful comments, especially those about J being the wonderful big sister, and N looking SO much like Henry.

    Oh, and yeah, NC in the pout…perfect.

  10. You have such a big beautiful family! Enjoy San Diego – straight from one beach to another.
