12 on 12.

March  :  Tuesday

01.  I could hear rain outside when I woke up this morning.  Obviously it's the perfect morning to stay in bed with my book for just a little longer.
02.  Eventually Sheldon realized that I was up and reading so he joined me with his morning cup of hot chocolate.
03.  Peter started his early morning with a long walk on the beach.  He left before the hard rain started but he didn't make it back before getting soaked.  Afterwards, he tried to dry out his orthotics using the air conditioning fan.
04.  We decided that if it was going to rain, there was no better place to be than Target.
05.  Success.
06.  There is nothing that Juliana enjoys more after shopping than to lay out her new clothes the minute she gets home.
07.  Sheldon wants a quick photo shoot to update his Facebook profile pic.  I was just getting started when he was done.  I think I got 5 quick photos.  Hey, he asked me take his picture. I was secretly thrilled.
08.  Can't let the chill in the air keep us from the beach.  We played frisbee...
09.  ...sat and watched the waves (which I could do all day)...
10.  ...and then I watched Peter watching the waves.  There is something so peaceful about the sight of and sounds of the water.
11.  After trying all day, I retreated to the gazebo just before dinner to finally finish the end of my book.
12.  Another family sunset at the beach.  This time the kids had a rousing game of leapfrog to end their day.

12 on 12 in Florida was trickier than I thought it would be.  Our days are filled with all kinds of nothing and yet are so meaningful in their little moments.  I took lots of pictures but I found it hard to decide which 12 to use here.  In the end, I picked out the ones that made me smile a little bigger than the others.
