... that our family can look like this - is a testament to all that you worked to achieve. We are Haitian, Turkish, Native American and French/English. And we are family.
Amen.

There's No Place Like Home.
Vacationing at the beach was wonderful. Seeing old friends was lovely. And as always, Ferry Beach helped me to discover new and interesting things about myself, Isaac and Meg.But, I must say, There is No Place Like Home! And I am so glad to be back. I missed my husband, my house, my bed, my dog and my sewing machine. And Isaac missed his Daddy so very much. Meaghan, however, would have liked to stay another month or so :)
As for this blog, I will continue my regular posting schedule beginning Monday. I will also upload all our vacation photos to Flickr.
Also, I received several tote bag and wallet orders while at Ferry Beach (I made sure to sport all my favorite bags at the beach - in hopes that folks would inquire about them - and they did). So, I will be busy sewing some goodies - being sure to post them here as I do.
Love,
Jodi

We're Here. And Lovin' It!
We have only been here for two full days and it already feels like a week... there is just so much going on! It is wonderful. I am headed off to do some Karaoke but wanted to say "Hello" and to leave you with a few photos. I have uploaded some to Flickr as well.
Please note: YES, Meaghan is with me. But No, you will barely see her in any photos as she has found a new friend here and subsequently has no use for Isaac and I. Though I wish she were around more, I am very happy that she is enoying herself.
So, here is mostly Isaac:

Packed For Fun & Relaxation.
We are ready for vacation! Yes, "WE", as in Me, Isaac & Meg. She decided to come after all and I am so looking forward to spending quality time with her. We are off to Ferry Beach, and as always ... though I feel as though I only packed the essentials, our luggage looks entirely too much for one week. But in our defense we have to bring our own linens and fan ... along with diapers and toys, etc.

But in our defense we have to bring our own linens and fan ... along with diapers and toys, etc.
And of course, we had to pack all our reading materials. There will be plenty of quality time spent on the beach. So, here is about half of the reading materials we put together:
I love that I am bringing the Shark book! What better book is there to browse through before taking a dip in the sea? Truth be told, I am *wild* for sharks. Ever since I was a little girl I have collected books on sharks. They fascinate me to no end.
Meaghan will be reading: The View From Saturday, Walk Two Moons, and Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist.
I will be reading: Fortune's Rocks (I am 1/4 way through it already), The Secret Life of Bees, and The Color of Water. I will also be reading the NEW Harry Potter which should arrive in my mailbox the day that I leave for the beach! I am so anxious for it. Halis thinks it will be read in a day.
And Isaac will be 'reading': Good Night Maine, I Love You Sun - I Love You Moon, Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? , In the Sea, and Summer.
But also as important to me as the books I am reading, is the bookmark that goes with them. Did you know that I collect bookmarks? Well, here is my favorite one - made by me:
I will stay in touch while we are away ... even if only to keep Daddy posted on what we are up to and how much we miss him :)
Love,
Jodi

PACKING FOR FERRY BEACH.
Time to pack for another week of fun, relaxation, and spiritual growth at Ferry Beach! Every year, for the past several years, our family heads to Saco, Maine for a week long "Friends and Family" conference at the Unitarian-Universalist Conference Center - Ferry Beach. I lovingly call it church camp :)
As always, I am looking forward to it. But this year, unless I can convince Meaghan otherwise (and I am trying), Isaac and I will be the only ones attending.... though Halis will make a couple of appearances. Last year, Isaac wasn't walking. So, this year should be so fun for him (and less of a back-breaker for me)!
Now it is time to pack. These trips require lots of careful packing ... and this may take me a few days. Not to mention that I need to spend the next few days convincing Meaghan that she REALLY wants to go (she has had another vacation offer). And Daddy is starting to get some anxiety over not seeing his boy for a while ... so they are needing some special Daddy-and-Me time. All sorts of prep for just 7 days away!
I will be back here tomorrow - till then, I leave you with some pics from last year's conference. The rest I will post on Flickr within a day or two. Enjoy!
