Vacation Photos...just had to post a few...

Hi Everyone,
I was just looking through some of our vacation photos. I want to share a couple of Luca with you. We were in Hilton Head Island, SC last week and had a wonderful time. Luca loves the beach and the ocean!
Enjoy....

That one of the two boys is soooo cute!! I can't wait to see my daughter with her sibilings.

BTW, we were looking for a beach vacation place for next year. We were thinking virginia beach, but how is Hilton Head? Any suggestions on where to stay? We try to go to a different state every year, but mom is really needing a beach vacation after this adoption
