bloom on demand

*

We got away for the weekend to the coast.

It was a great way to celebrate the end of a long year for the Etter family.

To reflect on how far we've traveled recently on our path, and to connect with old friends.

Joe and Kelly came up from California for a visit with their kids, Riley and Robbie (and George).

The Barrios family rules.

Riley rules ten times over.

Violet had a word with Joe about the way things should be run.

Robbie rocked the house with some karaoke. He's 2 and half years old. Violet had a little crush on the cool, older boy.

Riley took such good care of Violet.

Ruca loved the beach action.

...and so did George. The rain came down in the late afternoon, somewhere around 4:20 or so.

What a beautiful way to spend the vacation.

May the new year bring many joys and successes, whatever that may mean to you!
