{Roswelle's first time on the beach!}
The last week of May, Paul and I flew to Charleston for my cousin's wedding. Ashley was my made of honor and I was her matron of honor - cousins are the best and I'm so blessed to be so close with mine even though we live so far apart. My mom rented a house on Isle of Palms for the week and we had THE BEST time. We spent our time hanging with my family on the big screened in porch (with 10+ rocking chairs and a swing), going for walks on the beach (with the stroller), and just plain relaxing. I got really used to always having someone around to hold Roswelle - it was kind of an adjustment when I got back to Boston!

Roswelle did great on the beach. I was a smidge psychotic about her being in the sun. We aren't using sunscreen until next summer so I was sure to limit her time to 10 minutes and kept her covered in her stroller most of the time. The great thing about the beach is there is almost always a nice breeze to keep her cool.
My mom's main desire that week was to rock Roswelle on the porch swing...they both loved it.
Roswelle got some quality time with her uncles... They are all naturals with her...in their own way. ;)
She also had plenty of quality time with her great-grandparents and her cousin Brinley who is 1 month older than her.
While Roswelle was spending time with her extended family and me... Paul and Evan were non-stop on the beach.
Paul is a beach maniac. He found this stump during the week and would lug it around based on the low & high tides to ensure it's safety! We started calling it "stumpy"...similar to Tom Hank's "Wilson" in Cast Away. He went everywhere with "Stumpy!"
Paul and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary while we were there. <3
Below are some of my favorite pics of Roswelle from that week.
Next up I'll be blogging on traveling with a baby! It went surprisingly smooth for us.
