Beach Nostalgia

We've had some glorious beach days, like this one with Lucy and Amy. I met Amy when I attacked her at the caucus, excited to meet anyone in the area with a baby! We've seen each other a few times, but hopefully more in the future. This day we happened to run into eachother at the beach. And we spent some time watching charming Lucy eat sand. Makili tried to kiss her. Can you blame him?



But as I sit here writing this, I am having a serious bout of Hawaii nostalgia. The weather lately, blissful sunshine, cool breezes, quality of light that hurts, has been bringing in on. And then I turned on Jack Johnson on the Ipod tonight and I seriously got teary, missing another life. Another way of life. Water, wind, sun, kids (that could talk), independence, romance, activity. Climbing waterfalls, jumping through waves, surfing badly. Sweating with the fan in your face. Youth. I'm not complaining. I'm so happy with our life here, but sometimes I do feel the pull for what once was.
