Happy Birthday... and it's not even your birthday yet!

Nothing quite like a month long birthday celebration. Veronica has been celebrating her birthday since early September when Grammy flew in from PA, Uncle Brian and Aunt Sara flew up from SoCal, and Auntie Alex drove down from the Great White North. We sang and Veronica stole swipes of icing, what could be better? Hijacking your cousin's birthday party, that's what! Veronica let Jackson have his moments and even open a few presents, but she quickly took control of everything she could get her hands on. When you're this cute, you can get away with stuff like that.

Labor day weekend in Westport

Veronica has been to beaches as far west and east as one can go in this country, but she had never been to a beach in her home state before this weekend. There is a reason we've chosen 6 hour flights over two hour drives. Washington beaches are typically cold, gray, and wet, but we lucked out with blue skies on the unofficial last weekend of summer.


Veronica went to the beach with her favorite travel companion. She couldn't have been happier to spend the weekend with Henry and followed him everywhere. We ventured into town for lunch one afternoon, but there wasn't much to look at. Otherwise we spent the weekend combing the beach, trying to stay warm, and sharing some s'mores.
