at the beach

today we::
waited for the new trampoline to be delivered. now we have to wait to set it up.
then we::
went to the beach.
Aunty S, M + me.
a lovely day hidden under the trees with our pretend cubby house.
M met a little girl there, who was a tiny bit older than her.
they ran about on the sand giggling and laughing and washing their shells in the blue azure water.
cold water, but refreshing and beautiful.
it took almost the whole time we were there until M felt happy in the water, and then she didn't want to go home at all and got quite sad.
but we promised that we'd go again very soon, and with the boys too.

right now M is sitting on my lap, kissing me. she smells like suncream.
we are going to make dinner soon - salad, we think.
M is playing baby bawalas (koala).

We are missing you, Daddy + A.
but it's lovely having different noises and talking and conversation in the house {and so much less whinging and arguing!}.
