You know your children are from the NorthEast when

  • It is 70 degrees outside in September and they are thrilled to suit up and jump in the Ocean.
  • They eat the fried clams even after they dipped them in sand then in Tartar sauce. (Some sort of double breading technique? Emeril might know- I think he is from around here)
  • They are pale, pale shade of white even after a summer of being outside.
  • They burn after being in just under 1.5 hours of sun.











All these photos are from our lovely day at the Salty Brine Beach in RI. It is perfect for kids as it has long wide sandy beaches perfect for digging and sand castling. The waves are gentle and since the beach is protected the surf is quite manageable for even our little ones. Dunedin seemed to have more chutzpa in regards for going into the deeper waters. Griffin was, for the first time I have seen him, more trepidations of a new situation. But Dunes held his hand and was determined to lead him in. We actually had a hard time getting them both out in the end. I have to thank my friend Miriam for such a great recommendation. She is our resident RI expert and seems to know the low down on all the places to go and visit in this lovely state we now call home.

Colt State Park Perfection

I was able to meet the Solberg family yesterday who turn out to be almost-neighbors. Our community in this part of Providence seems so small (or at least walkable) yet somehow we had yet to bump into each other. We met up at Colt State park in Bristol on what turned out to be a perfect evening. We were able to do some children’s portraits and I hope I was able to capture a bit of the energy and love these two bring to the family.








The rest of the photos should be ready in a weeks time but I wanted to get a little sample out.
